We're at the ground early and the pitch looks good. It bright sunshine at the moment but the sky is full of cloud. Really looking forward to this match. It should be a close contest.

Ex Ilkeston favourite Michael Williams is in the Sheffield opening line-up. Plenty of support for Ilkeston today. The supporters bus was full. It's 5 minutes to kickoff.

Danny is in position with his camera. Here come the teams behind the match officials. We're ready to start. We're off .......

Matchman · 05/10/2019 2:04 PM

Ilkeston are attacking the stand end where I am. Free kick to Sheffield in good position. Williams kick hits the wall. 0-0 3 minutes

Matchman · 05/10/2019 2:08 PM

Sheffield forward's header is wide. Corner to Sheffield. Ilkeston haven't got started yet. 0-0 7 minutes

Matchman · 05/10/2019 2:14 PM

Sheffield are getting to the ball first. Reco is fouled. At last a meaningful attack by Ilkeston. Chance for Cooksey with some room but he blasts well over the bar. 0-0 12 minutes

Matchman · 05/10/2019 2:20 PM

Free kick on halfway taken by Durrant. Sheffield clear. Safety first by both sides so no real chances or even half chances. 0-0 18 minutes

Chance for Cooksey but he pokes it wide. Ilkeston attack is non existent. Best chance yet for Ilkeston Reco free kick is headed just wide by Robertson with the keeper no where near it. Another Ilkeston free kick. This time keeper collects. 0-0 27 minutes

Great volley by Orlando-Young brilliantly tipped over. That's better. Sheffield cross cum shot skims the crossbar. Then a Sheffield header from a deep cross is too high. Sheffield still picking up most of the loose balls. Nearly all of the chances are coming from set piece situations. Sheffield header from a corner is not far wide. 0-0 39 minutes

Campbell Gordon gets forward but is beaten to the ball. Harrad seemed to be pushed over in the box but the ref isn't having it. It's half time and that must be the poorest Ilkeston have played.
Half time : Sheffield FC 0 Ilkeston 0

The second half has to be better.

Matchman · 05/10/2019 3:04 PM

Ilkeston are attacking the far goal in the second half. We're off again

Matchman · 05/10/2019 3:09 PM

Good effort by McDonald but keeper gets down to it. Brilliant double save by Durrant. Looked like a certain goal for Sheffield. Orlando-Young does really well but his final shot is poor. Good effort by Tom Marshall but Keeper saves 0-0 50 minutes
