Match Events
- 0' We are underway at The Banks's Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' It’s high time Dean Keates made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 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 Jon Guthrie suffering a number of foals already.
- 13' What a strike from Brett Pitman! The score is 0-1.
- 16' A meaty challenge results in booking for Matthew Clarke on 16.
- 21' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jamal Lowe, as he is very good at scoring at The Banks's Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.

- 30' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.

- 62' Dan Scarr has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 48 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
