  • 8' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 13' 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 Jack Payne suffering a number of foals already.
  • 18' It looks like no one’s ball. Burton Albion FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 23' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kane Hemmings made 10 appearances and scored 24 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

  • 31' 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.
