       Ben Atkinson doing both Wimbledon Colchester games this season
       and Sam Purkiss does Colchester Gillingham for 2 seasons in a
       row.
       Elsewhere, a few highlights: Scott Oldham and Danny Middleton
       get the top 4 clashes on New Years Day in League Two, Scott
       Tallis gets the bottom 2 in League One, with big clashes also
       for Will Finnie, Adam Herczeg and Charles Breakspear. Ross Joyce
       gets a run out in front of the cameras and a 2nd trial game for
       James Durkin and Dale Baines

       Decent game for Chilowicz on New Year’s Day!
       Nice to see Baines, Durkin and Watkins get follow up EFL
       appointments over the next couple of weeks also!

       Frustrating night for Middleton and team - local area power cut
       means match postponed due to floodlight failure.

       Average display I would say from Ben Atkinson last night, didn’t
       impress me as much as he did in the reverse game. Wasn’t too
       much for him to do but think he was a little too lenient in the
       first half and a little too strict in the second with some
       fouls. There was a penalty incident in the second half which was
       quite confusing to follow, he seemed to blow the whistle and not
       make a decision, I assume he thought a player needed treatment
       but not sure. He then booked one of our players for dissent who
       was already booked and then showed him the red card several
       seconds later, so I think it was a second yellow but again, when
       you can only see and not hear, his organisation seemed to be a
       little off.

       I watched on ifollow for Newport v Crewe hoping for a better
       referee performance than the last two games. Ben Speedie was ok,
       nothing more. 2 obvious yellow cards were missed, for Newport,
       in the 1st half: 1 for a blatant handball and another for SPA.
       Yet, in the 2nd half, Crewe get booked for a great tackle. Nowt
       wrong with it yet he still got booked? The only thing I could
       imagine was wrong was the follow through, but even that wasn’t
       that bad! He also missed a handball for Newport, on the replay
       it clearly showed that O’Riordan’s hand was out and blocked the
       cross. Surprised AR2 didn’t see this tbf.

       Also watching on a rather patchy IFollow feed, Tom Reeves in the
       middle for Harrogate v Tranmere Rovers. Mr Reeves kept up with
       play and positioned himself well. He set the bar fairly high for
       awarding fouls, but while there were a couple I'd have blown up
       for, generally prefer an attempt to let the game flow rather
       than the opposite. Steady showing from Mr Reeves and seemed to
       get almost everything right.
