  • 16' Salford City FC player sees a card in front of him.
  • 21' 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 Matt Young suffering a number of foals already.
  • 26' The travelling Shrewsbury Town FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 31' Josh Feeney has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
