- 10' Bristol Rovers FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
- 15' It’s high time Calderon made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 20' 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.
- 25' 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.
- 30' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 35' Reading FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 40' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 45' It looks surprising Reading FC does not make any changes. Lewis Wing has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 50' Kofi Shaw needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 55' 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 Jayden Wareham suffering a number of foals already.
- 59' It’s a booking for Reading FC player. Amadou Salif Mbengue gets a card.
