- 5' Watford FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
- 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 Ryheem Sheckleford suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Chesterfield FC that had 18 games and scored 18 goals.
