- 5' Blackpool FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 10' Blackpool FC have won 466 goals from 384 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jordan Gabriel, as he is very good at scoring at City Ground, Nottingham with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 20' That is a Yellow card for Nottingham Forest FC. Philip Zinckernagel will be fuming at that decision.
- 22' A goal from the Wales international Brennan Johnson! He fires home on 22 to make it 1-0!
- 27' Tyreece John-Jules is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Nottingham Forest FC so far.

- 47' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Nottingham Forest FC and Blackpool FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 52' 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 Max Lowe suffering a number of foals already.
- 53' Against the run of play, Jerry Yates has scored! This game has turned on its head.

- 71' Ken Dougall is ready to make an impact after coming on for Kevin Stewart at the 71 minute mark.
- 76' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Nottingham Forest FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 81' Both keepers have barely been tested. Nottingham Forest FC and Blackpool FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 82' A meaty challenge results in booking for Scott McKenna on 82.
- 87' Nottingham Forest FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
