- 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Eiran Cashin, as he is very good at scoring at DW Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
- 19' Goal! Curtis Nelson scores his 13 goal in 358 matches.
- 24' 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 Callum Lang suffering a number of foals already.
- 29' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 34' Thomas Barkhuizen needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 39' 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.

- 69' The travelling Derby County FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
