- 10' Chris Wood needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 15' Blackpool FC is showing some good football. However, Blackpool FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

- 56' What an equalizer from Morgan Gibbs-White!
- 61' 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 Jordan Rhodes suffering a number of foals already.
