Great to see Leigh Doughty out in the Championship. The
appointments team must have seen the message I put on here the
other day 😉
Amazing to see Josh Smith staying out there!! No injury yet!
We have Donohue this week! An official I would have loved to see
get some more on-field games in the Premier League at the end of
last season, but was overlooked.

Kettle Junior mixing in with the cream of English officialdom.
Decent game for Macho Man in Wales.

I’ve seen Doughty live at Craven Cottage when we won promotion
to the Premier League in 2022.
He certainly put in a confident, dignified performance and I
thought he may have had a shot at SG1 given the steady shows he
produced.

Anthony Backhouse was another who seemed to be on a rapid rise
to the PL a couple of seasons ago and picked up brilliant
appointments but injuries seemed to put that on hold.

So far Stoke have had Elliot Bell, James Bell, Lewis Smith and
now Josh Smith. So two Bells and two Smiths, which pairing will
be next?
They must be readying the Madleys for their next two games? :D
Didn't expect to see Rob Jones being sent to Birmingham. Sure
Preston will be thrilled by Donohue, wasn't there a quirky stat
last season about his first four red cards in game involving the
Lilywhites?

Middlesbrough are seeing almost as much of Richard Woodward as
Leigh Doughty is.
Second time in 3 weeks as AR1 at a Boro game. Fourth
consecutive match as Doughty's AR1. I know it's common in SG1
to have the same team of officials sticking together (and
usually the ref and both ARs, not just one) but I can't see many
other regular partnerships lower down.

Gavin Ward will need to be in two places at once !
Anyone know what’s happened to Will Finnie ?

Really disappointed as a Watford fan to see Stephen Martin
appointed to our game. Nothing against him as a referee, but he
oversaw our first match of the season at Charlton.
Are there really so few SG2 officials and are the powers that be
really so unimaginative that we have had a repeated appointment
already in the space of the first 3 fixtures. I mean come on!
