- 10' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 20' It looks surprising Gillingham FC does not make any changes. Miguel Azeez has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 25' Supporters expect more eagerness from Louis Thompson, as he is very good at scoring at MEMS Priestfield with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 30' Jamie Cumming has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 23 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 35' Gillingham FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 35.
- 40' It looks like no one’s ball. Portsmouth FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 45' Marcus Harness needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 50' Gillingham FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

- 71' Another change for Portsmouth FC made on 71 minute. George Hirst leaves to be changed by Ellis Harrison.
