- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Walsall FC that had 65 games and scored 67 goals.
- 10' 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 Jack Baldwin suffering a number of foals already.
