- 35' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 40' Bristol Rovers FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 45' Luke Leahy has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 45 minutes.
- 50' The travelling Shrewsbury Town FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
