  • 5' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 10' It looks like no one’s ball. Watford FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 15' Brad Hills is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Watford FC so far.
  • 20' Norwich City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.

  • 30' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Watford FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.

  • 40' It’s gonna be a card for Imran Louza.
  • 41' Josh Sargent puts Norwich City FC on the lead.
  • 46' 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 Angus Gunn suffering a number of foals already.
  • 51' 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.

  • 74' With 0 assists to his name this season, Tom Dele-Bashiru is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Norwich City FC.
  • 75' The supporters are chanting for Jack Stacey. He replaces Jacob Sorensen on 75 minute.
  • 77' That looks like a foul for a card for Ryan Andrews.
  • 82' The travelling Norwich City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
