8' Jordan Thompson picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
13' It looks surprising Coventry City FC does not make any changes. Jake Bidwell has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
18' 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 Million Manhoef suffering a number of foals already.
23' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Paul Gallagher will be considering his options from the bench.
