- 20' The travelling Southend United FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 25' 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 Close suffering a number of foals already.
