Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Bristol Rovers FC and Northampton Town FC has kicked off!
  • 5' It looks surprising Northampton Town FC does not make any changes. Scott Sinclair has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' Cameron McGeehan needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 15' 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 Akin Odimayo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' Northampton Town FC is showing some good football. However, Northampton Town FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 24' The referee calls foul for Joshua Griffiths. He receives a card.
  • 29' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 34' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 39' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jordan Willis made 374 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 44' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jon Guthrie, as he is very good at scoring at Memorial Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 49' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Bristol Rovers FC that had 291 games and scored 317 goals.
  • 54' It’s high time Matt Taylor made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 58' Luke McCormick has so much to prove this time. He replaces Scott Sinclair on 58 minute.
  • 62' Another substitution for Northampton Town FC to replace Jordan Willis by Tyler Magloire on 62 minute.
  • 67' Another change for Bristol Rovers FC made on 67 minute. Grant Ward leaves to be changed by Jamie Lindsay.
  • 72' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

  • 82' Another substitution for Northampton Town FC to replace William Hondermarck by Tariqe Fosu-Henry on 82 minute.
