- 5' It looks surprising Southend United FC does not make any changes. Jack Bonham has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Olly Lee made 305 appearances and scored 13 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
