- 36' The crowd applauds Colin Daniel as he leaves the pitch. Reece Hutchinson steps in for Burton Albion FC.
- 41' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 67' Paddy Madden has so much to prove this time. He replaces Wes Burns on 67 minute.
- 72' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 76' Joe Sbarra gets the nod from Burton Albion FC. He replaces Oliver Sarkic and will look to change the dynamic.
