- 10' 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 Jake Bidwell suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' A quiet spell here at Coventry Building Society Arena. Coventry City FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
