  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Joshua Laurent made 329 appearances and scored 17 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Shrewsbury Town FC that had 329 games and scored 385 goals.
  • 15' Jack Fitzwater has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 20' 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.

  • 30' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 35' Shrewsbury Town FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 35.
  • 40' Walsall FC is showing some good football. However, Walsall FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 45' 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 Josh Ginnelly suffering a number of foals already.
  • 50' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 55' It’s high time Dean Keates made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 58' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Josh Ginnelly.
  • 63' Shrewsbury 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.
  • 65' The supporters are chanting for Joshua Laurent. He replaces Alex Gilliead on 65 minute.
  • 70' 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.
