- 15' It looks like no one’s ball. Coventry City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 20' It’s high time Mark Robins made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 23' What a strike from Joel Latibeaudiere! The score is 2-0.
- 27' What a strike from Ellis Simms! The score is 3-0.
- 32' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.

- 37' Goal! Ellis Simms scores his 52 goal in 319 matches.

- 70' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
