- 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Josh Windass, as he is very good at scoring at Hillsborough with 18 goals in the last 13 games.
- 15' It looks like no one’s ball. Sheffield Wednesday FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Michael Smith made 356 appearances and scored 69 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 25' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 30' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 31' The supporters are chanting for Harry Anderson. He replaces Ryan Loft on 31 minute.
- 36' The referee calls foul for Michael Ihiekwe. He receives a Yellow card.
- 39' Jordan Rossiter was booked on 39.
- 44' Sheffield Wednesday FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 48' What a strike from Michael Smith! The score is 1-0.
- 53' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 53 minutes.
- 58' Bristol Rovers FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 58.

- 86' 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 Lee Gregory suffering a number of foals already.
- 87' Luke McCormick has so much to prove this time. He replaces Harry Anderson on 87 minute.
- The final score is 1-1.
