- 5' It looks surprising Fleetwood Town FC does not make any changes. Ashley Nadesan has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 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 Wes Burns suffering a number of foals already.
