  • 10' Saxon Earley has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 49 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 15' It’s high time Alex Revell made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' The travelling Wigan Athletic FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 30' Stevenage FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jason Kerr made 251 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
