4:46pm
Reece and Edwards have both been caught offside in the past few moments. A bit sloppy from the hosts.
4:42pm
Answers on a postcard if you know what Edwards has just tried. Was it a cross? A chip? It was certainly awful.
4:41pm
SUB. Droylsden: Shaun Holden replaces Matt Walwyn.
4:38pm
Reece's corner provides Danny Edwards with a free header but he is off target.
4:35pm
SUB. City: Danny Edwards replaces Michael Taylor.
4:31pm
YELLOW CARD. Droylsden: Carlos Logan for dissent.
4:30pm
SUB. Droylsden: Steve Hall on for Aaron Chalmers.
4:30pm
GOAL. City: Thorley drills the spot-kick into the bottom corner.
4:29pm
Breeze is brought down by Coleman in the box and City have a penalty. Coleman is booked.
4:26pm
Reece curls the ball about a yard over the bar. He looks like a man on mission at the moment.
4:24pm
Two Droylsden players receiving treatment. It's been carnage for the visitors in the last few minutes.
4:22pm
Matt Walwyn's shot is collected by Thompson but the referee has given a corner. Logan takes it and Aaron Chalmers sends an acrobatic effort against the bar. He collides with Rowe but both are OK.
4:19pm
SUB. City: Charlie Reece and Matt Breeze replace Danny Glover and Matt Birley. Droylsden: Lee Rick on for Mike Phenix.
4:17pm
Taylor's shot is deflected behind for a corner. Deeney sends it in, Coleman heads away.
4:11pm
GOAL. Droylsden: Mike Phenix's right-wing cross is put past his own keeper by Stuart Whitehead. It all stemmed from Birley giving the ball away in midfield. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.
4:08pm
Thorley's corner fails to beat the first defender. We've come to expect better from the midfielder.
4:06pm
Birley is down injured, hopefully he'll be OK to carry on.
4:05pm
Thorley swings in a free-kick, Taylor heads over. The striker got underneath the ball on that occasion.
4:04pm
YELLOW CARD. Droylsden: Chris Brown for foul on Symons.
4:03pm
Second-half is under way.
3:48pm
It's half-time here at the Lane.
3:46pm
City totally in control at the end of the first-half.
3:45pm
Another corner for City. Deeney delivers from the right, Droylsden clear their lines.
3:43pm
YELLOW CARD. City: Rob Elvins.
3:42pm
GOAL. City: No sooner has Taylor's fitness been called into doubt than he meets Rowe's header from Thorley's corner to put City ahead.
3:40pm
Questions being asked in the press box about the fitness of Taylor.
3:36pm
Thorley's corner from the left is headed wide by Jacob Rowe. Decent effort.
3:33pm
Thorley's free-kick is decent but it's straight at Nemes.
3:31pm
Thorley sends Taylor clear but Alex Coleman gets a foot in just as Taylor was about to pull the trigger.
3:28pm
City break upfield and Glover has a shot blocked. Rob Elvins thens tries his luck from distance but Droylsden finally clear.
3:27pm
Logan takes Droylsden's first corner, Thompson punches clear.
3:25pm
Symons breaks forward and unleashes a drive that is saved by Nemes. That's more like it.
3:24pm
Glover hacks an effort high and wide of Matt Nemes' goal.
3:23pm
A shot from Simmons is easy for Thompson. City, however, still waiting for their first effort on target.
3:21pm
Matt Birley sets Taylor free and he breaks into the box but he runs out of pitch and the move is over. Better from City.
3:17pm
Weir clattered by O'Neill trying to win a header but thankfully he's up quickly.
3:15pm
Mike Phenix's shot finds it way through to Glyn Thompson. The visitors having the better chances.
3:13pm
A bee has invaded the press box; we usually get one a season.
3:11pm
Rob Simmons plays a reverse free-kick to Carlos Logan but his shot is woefully off target.
3:09pm
Chris Brown picks out Joe O'Neill in the six-yard box but he heads over. Good chance.
3:07pm
Tyler Weir makes a great challenge to deny a Droylsden attack. That's got the crowd going.
3:05pm
Back to blue square proceedings today Worcester v drolysden, two changes hopefully can get back on track after Monday #Worcestercity #WCFC
