Match Events
- 0' We are underway at The Banks's Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' It looks surprising Walsall FC does not make any changes. Alex Woodyard has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 10' The travelling Peterborough United FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Andy Cook, as he is very good at scoring at The Banks's Stadium with 3 goals in the last 3 games.
- 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Peterborough United FC that had 383 games and scored 596 goals.
- 24' Ivan Toney has so much to prove this time. He replaces George Cooper on 24 minute.
- 29' 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 Dan Scarr suffering a number of foals already.
- 34' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 34 minutes.
- 39' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Siriki Dembele made 383 appearances and scored 41 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 62' Jon Guthrie is replacing Dan Scarr for the Walsall FC side.
- 65' Time for substitution for Peterborough United FC. Daniel Lafferty is replaced by Lee Tomlin.
