- 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Stephen Quinn, as he is very good at scoring at Pirelli Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 10' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Crewe Alexandra FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 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 Kieran O'Hara suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' Burton Albion FC is showing some good football. However, Burton Albion FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
