  • 25' Adam Clayton is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Middlesbrough FC tonight.
  • 30' Jonathan Howson has been relatively quiet despite scoring 7 goals in his last 388 appearances.
  • 35' It looks surprising Sheffield Wednesday FC does not make any changes. Adam Reach has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 40' 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 Aden Flint suffering a number of foals already.
  • 45' Middlesbrough 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.

  • 68' England international Matthew Penney has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 73' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Middlesbrough FC that had 388 games and scored 475 goals.
  • 74' Barry Bannan is having his name booked by the referee on 74.
  • 79' A tactical swap from Middlesbrough FC — Jordan Hugill on, Britt Assombalonga off on 79 minutes.
