- 0' We are underway at Select Car Leasing Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' The travelling Shrewsbury Town FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 10' Reading FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
- 15' 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 Amadou Salif Mbengue suffering a number of foals already.
- 16' Reading FC player sees a card in front of him.
- 21' It’s high time Sean Parrish made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
