- 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
- 15' Rotherham United FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 20' 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.

- 33' Mallik Wilks was booked on 33.
- 38' Jamie McCart has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 43' It’s high time Paul Hurst made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 48' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
