- 17' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 22' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 27' It’s high time Gary Bowyer made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
