- 55' Christian Saydee adds to his 3 season tally! Portsmouth FC lead 1-1 — and this changes everything.
- 60' 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 Charlie Hughes suffering a number of foals already.
- 62' Hull City AFC ring the changes. Abu Kamara has done his job and it is now time for Lincoln to step up.
