  • 10' Crawley Town FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 15' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 23' Over 23 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
