  • 36' A moment of madness from Daniel Kemp on 36 minutes earns him a card. Stevenage FC will be frustrated.
  • 41' 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 Oliver Casey suffering a number of foals already.
