  • 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.
  • 34' Rotherham United FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Sebastian Revan is hanging Shane Ferguson on the field on 34 minute.
  • 37' Goal! Ellis Simms scores his 52 goal in 319 matches.
  • 42' Arvin Appiah needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 46' Another substitution for Rotherham United FC to replace Sam Nombe by Arvin Appiah on 46 minute.

  • 65' 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.
  • 70' 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 Christ Tiehi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 72' Time for substitution for Rotherham United FC. Andy Rinomhota is replaced by Sam Clucas.
  • 77' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Rotherham United FC that had 357 games and scored 375 goals.
