- 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Hull City AFC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 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 Scott Wootton suffering a number of foals already.

- 46' Wigan Athletic FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Corey Whelan is hanging Scott Wootton on the field on 46 minute.
