  • 43' 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 Caleb Taylor suffering a number of foals already.

  • 74' Cheltenham Town FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 76' Michael Smith makes way for Mark McGuinness at the 76 minute mark. A tactical switch from Sheffield Wednesday FC.

  • 85' The deadlock is broken! Fisayo Dele-Bashiru gets on the scoresheet on 85 minutes.
  • 88' Sean Long has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 88.
