Oshilaja conveniently down and back up before the medical pros come on. Timewasting in the opening 30 mins, pretty frustrating.

Burton have already given up trying to win this one.

A fun one to chew up time to KO

I'm struggling with WB. The rest I've got.
James Weir I think

I should've clarified, I mean the WB who appears as one of the substitues. :)
Ah! The ever-frustrating Will Buckley!

Is that the first ever offside given in the defending half?

Looks like tiredness setting in. Good 40 mins of players showing for the ball.

Long balls from Santos been our best bet for opening them up so far.

Going to be interesting how much stoppage time there will be.

Well that was all sorts of frustrating. Completely one sided and no goals.

Match officials seemingly adding to the frustration not kicking out the time wasting and then giving only 3 minutes stoppage time.

I counted a good 25 secs for a goal kick on one of them.

Think we're unfortunate not to be ahead. Keeper playing well for them. How on earth did the ref let one of their dudes have a sit down for a minute for a breather?

We’ve played well until the final third.

Adeboyejo who has had a good game sadly made a right mess of our best chance. Touch was poor when really clean through in a game like this that needs to go in.

Charles having ‘one of those games’ thus far and their keeper made a wonder save from a deflected Morley free kick.

But final third is concerning as we are too laboured at times and look a bit out of ideas for creating the chance.

Dare I say that this is the sort of game you look at the wing backs and neither are doing much positive going forwards. Which is a worry. For me we really need to strengthen these areas as early season has definitely faded for both of them. I also think they both need more rotation generally to keep legs fresh.

Massive second half coming up. Big calls for Evatt off the bench too. Burton - wouldn’t put it past them scoring off a set piece either so we need our wits about us.

Team playing well. Keep going and hopefully the goal will come. Their keeper having a blinder.

Exactly. Might want to ask the fourth official how he only came up with 3 minutes stoppage time when Oshilaja spent that much time on the deck catching his breath.

Felt like Fleetwood. It’s coming, just needs a couple of tactical tweaks.

Suspect if the referee's going to give them carte blanche to do it then they'll see no need to play act.

Sure we can be frustrated, but that's not the reason for the stalemate at the minute. A goal for us probably opens this game wide up.
