- 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
- 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 15' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Bristol Rovers FC and Burton Albion FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 18' The referee calls foul for John-Joe O'Toole. He receives a Yellow card.
- 23' 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 Luke Varney suffering a number of foals already.
- 28' The travelling Burton Albion FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
