  • 23' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 28' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 33' Carl Piergianni needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 38' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 43' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Bradford City AFC that had 114 games and scored 105 goals.
  • 48' Stevenage FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 53' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Sam Walker made 379 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 58' Bradford City AFC is showing some good football. However, Bradford City AFC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

  • 83' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
