  • 21' Chris Long puts Crewe Alexandra FC on the lead.
  • 26' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 31' Jamie Robson needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 36' Lincoln City 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.
