- 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Ipswich Town FC launch into their encounter with Rotherham United FC.
- 5' Jack Lankester has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 10' It looks surprising Rotherham United FC does not make any changes. Cole Skuse has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 13' Zak Vyner catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 13.
- 18' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

- 50' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 55' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
