- 20' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 25' 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 Chem Campbell suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' Wigan Athletic FC have won 410 goals from 385 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 35' It looks like no one’s ball. Wycombe Wanderers FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

- 67' Wigan Athletic 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.
- 72' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 77' Over 77 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 82' Wigan Athletic FC is showing some good football. However, Wigan Athletic FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
