Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Blackpool FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' 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 Tyler Smith suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 15' Sullay Kaikai has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 18' A meaty challenge results in booking for Ken Dougall on 18.
- 23' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 28' Blackpool FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 28.
- 33' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 38' The travelling Blackpool FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 43' Swindon Town FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 44' Goal! Ellis Simms scores his 34 goal in 306 matches.
- 49' 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.
- 54' It looks like no one’s ball. Swindon Town FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 59' It looks surprising Blackpool FC does not make any changes. Lee Camp has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 61' What a strike from Jerry Yates! The score is 0-2.
- 66' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Akin Odimayo made 378 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 67' Demetri Mitchell has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ellis Simms on 67 minute.
- 71' The Swindon Town FC manager makes a substitution. Brett Pitman departs to be replaced by Hallam Hope.
- 76' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 77' Another change for Blackpool FC made on 77 minute. Daniel Leo Gretarsson leaves to be changed by Jordan Thorniley.
- 82' Supporters expect more eagerness from Daniel Leo Gretarsson, as he is very good at scoring at The Energy Check County Ground with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 85' The supporters are chanting for Ethan Robson. He replaces Sullay Kaikai on 85 minute.
- 90' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Blackpool FC that had 383 games and scored 461 goals.
- The final score is 0-2.
