  • 5' A quiet spell here at Montgomery Waters Meadow. Shrewsbury Town FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 10' Daniel Udoh, a Nigeria , has 9 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 11' Harry Pickering is having his name booked by the referee on 11.
  • 16' The energy levels are beginning to show. David Artell might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 21' Ethan Ebanks-Landell has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 26' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 27' Owen Dale adds to his 0 season tally! Crewe Alexandra FC lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 32' Over 32 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 37' Supporters expect more eagerness from Stephen Walker, as he is very good at scoring at Montgomery Waters Meadow with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 38' Shaun Whalley was booked on 38.
  • 43' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 48' Crewe Alexandra FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 53' Harry Chapman has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 57' The Shrewsbury Town FC bench stirs into life. Ryan Sears is withdrawn and Joshua Daniels gets his opportunity.
  • 62' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 67' 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 Josh Vela suffering a number of foals already.

  • 0-1 the final result. Shrewsbury Town FC will be bitterly disappointed.
