Mr Stockbridge
Peterborough v Fleetwood
Some very tired looking bodies and minds on show at London Road
last night, and unfortunately that included Mr Stockbridge.
A very inconsistent display last night with standard cautions
missed which ending up frustrating players and spectators alike.
One where a Posh player was pulled back around his neck was one
of the most obvious cautions you would ever see and not even a
word was spoken.
Mr Stockbridge gave 2 penalties for Fleetwood, which although in
the ’soft’ category, were correct in my eyes.
However, how he allowed the wrestling at Posh corners to go
unpunished was again a mystery.
One player literally had the shirt pulled form his back but
again Mr Stockbridge didn’t even acknowledge it.
It could be his relaxed style, but it came over as tired and
uninterested.
Did play some standard advantages, after some quite cynical
Fleetwood fouling, but again didn’t go back to caution the
player or even have a word, until of course a Peterborough
player did and came back.
I thought the Posh caution was correct actually, but based on
his previous threshold, it was so inconsistent to be untrue.
On a positive note, he played the correct amount of additional
time, but that didn’t make up for what was a very disappointing
performance.
Mr Stockbridge is normally viewed as a ‘safe pair of hands’,
hopefully the summer break will do him good, as you would
certainly not describe him as such after last night.

Maybe a bridge too far for Mr S, on Saturday previous he took
Barnsley v Reading and acquitted himself well, receiving mainly
positive comments from the home faithful. Which doesn't happen
too often!
He produced just the one yellow, to a home player and desrved,
and on two occasions gave good advantages then called play back
for free kicks when they didn't materialise. Which again we
don't see very often at Oakwell!

Thanks Skydank. I take your point about Seb's relaxed style of
refereeing. Hopefully he will be back to his best for Crewe v
Wrexham on Saturday.

Matt Corlett - Walsall v Swindon
Third time Walsall have had Matt this season (including the
reverse of this fixture at Swindon in September) and I was quite
impressed.
I liked his approach as seemed to get involved only when he
needed to, and I say that as a positive. Admittedly he set a
relatively high bar for fouls (only 13 fouls all match) and then
a very high bar for YCs but i thought he was consistent all
night and made for a better game with two team being allowed to
play.
Nothing too major or controversial to report, only the one YC,
absolutely nailed on for a Walsall midfielder with a pretty
cynical trip. A couple of Swindon penalty appeals he was quick
to dismiss and would have fell into the very soft/went down too
easily category but they were consistent with other contact not
given as a foul.
You could argue the 6mins at the end was a minute or two short
but overall a decent performance.
