  • 5' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Joe Morrell made 395 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' Portsmouth FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 20' Joe Rafferty, a Ireland , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 25' Both keepers have barely been tested. Portsmouth FC and Fleetwood Town FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 30' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 35' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 40' Scotland international Phoenix Patterson has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 2 assists in the Array this season.
  • 45' The energy levels are beginning to show. Lee Johnson might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 48' Magnificent from Colby Bishop! That is 93 goals in 5 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 53' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.

  • 69' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Christian Saydee on 69 minutes.
  • 70' It’s gonna be a card for Callum Dolan.
  • 75' 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 Ben Heneghan suffering a number of foals already.
  • 76' The Fleetwood Town FC manager makes a substitution. Callum Dolan departs to be replaced by Jack Marriott.
  • 77' A tactical swap from Portsmouth FC — Gavin Whyte on, Paddy Lane off on 77 minutes.

  • 90' The referee calls foul for Tony Scully. He receives a card.
