- 10' Over 10 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 15' Another substitution for Derby County FC to replace Graeme Shinnie by George Evans on 15 minute.
- 20' Chris Martin has been relatively quiet despite scoring 54 goals in his last 400 appearances.
- 23' The referee has no hesitation. Darnell Fisher is booked for Preston North End FC — Yellow card on 23.
- 28' A change in the Derby County FC ranks — Mason Bennett exits the field as Martyn Waghorn enters on 28.
- 33' The deadlock is broken! Martyn Waghorn gets on the scoresheet on 33 minutes.
- 38' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 41' Joe Rafferty has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 41.
- 46' The Preston North End FC manager makes a substitution. Jayden Stockley departs to be replaced by Billy Bodin.
