- 54' 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 Sam Smith suffering a number of foals already.
- 56' Ben Elliott is having his name booked by the referee on 56.
- 61' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Reading FC that had 378 games and scored 430 goals.
