  • 10' Both keepers have barely been tested. Stevenage FC and Blackpool FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 15' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 20' Blackpool FC come into this ranked 18 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 25' Stevenage FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 30' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 35' England international James Husband has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 40' Leighton Clarkson has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 45' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Stevenage FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 50' Supporters expect more eagerness from Niall Ennis, as he is very good at scoring at Lamex Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.

  • 68' The crowd applauds Leighton Clarkson as he leaves the pitch. Karoy Anderson steps in for Blackpool FC.
  • 69' Tom Bloxham gets the nod from Blackpool FC. He replaces Ashley Fletcher and will look to change the dynamic.

  • 78' A tactical swap from Blackpool FC — Joel Randall on, George Honeyman off on 78 minutes.
