Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Bristol City FC get us underway at Ashton Gate.
  • 5' Ross McCrorie has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 10' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Orel Mangala suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' Bristol City FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Nottingham Forest FC's shape.
  • 20' Controversy at the stadium! Cameron Pring argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 25' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 30' Ryan Yates has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 30.
  • 34' The referee has no hesitation. Nicolas Dominguez is booked for Nottingham Forest FC — card on 34.
  • 39' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 40' Matty James is having his name booked by the referee on 40.
  • 45' It looks surprising Nottingham Forest FC does not make any changes. Harry Toffolo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 46' A tactical swap from Nottingham Forest FC — Morgan Gibbs-White on, Ryan Yates off on 46 minutes.
  • 51' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 56' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 61' England international Taylor Gardner-Hickman has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 64' Harry Toffolo is replacing Nuno Tavares for the Nottingham Forest FC side.
  • 68' The supporters are chanting for Sam Bell. He replaces Ross McCrorie on 68 minute.
  • 73' Both keepers have barely been tested. Bristol City FC and Nottingham Forest FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 77' Bristol City FC make a change. Tommy Conway trudges off to be replaced by Nahki Wells on 77 minutes.
  • 78' Another change for Bristol City FC made on 78 minute. Anis Mehmeti leaves to be changed by Harry Cornick.
  • 83' Danilo dos Santos de Oliveira is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Bristol City FC tonight.
  • 88' Rob Dickie has been relatively quiet despite scoring 19 goals in his last 366 appearances.
  • 90' That is a card for Bristol City FC. Taylor Gardner-Hickman will be fuming at that decision.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-0.
