No problem with Donohue - hoping he gets on well!
Good luck to Reeves with his debut!
I am a big fan of Bramall so of course I don't like seeing him
in the Championship but I hope it goes well for him and I hope
he can get some consistent PL Games for the rest of the season!

As HChip said, no major problems with Donohue however I’d like
to see a better performance than when I did in the away game at
Preston when I thought he was poor.
Another debut. This time for Tom Reeves who I thought was going
to make the step up to SG2 a few seasons back. I don’t really
know why because he seemed to be getting good games in the EFL
but now gets a championship debut. Good for him.
Farai Hallam is really establishing himself as one of the top
championship referees in my opinion.

Really happy with Farai Hallam for our midweek game but it’s the
second time he’s visited Portman Road this season already. It
was only the 12th September v Sheffield United. We’ve had
another international break in this time and that game is 21st
October. Surely thats too soon for officials to be returning.
Especially with how deep SG2 is.

Totally agree, I think L Smith & E Bell have got the same teams
again with even shorter breaks!
Very poor, there is just no need.

Yeah Elliot Bell done Wrexham on 30th September so only a three
week gap.
And Lewis Smith was in charge of Preston in 20th September.
Ridiculous.

Based on the appointments Mr Kirk would appear to be having a
very good season. A PL appointment this season would almost seem
certain but by Christmas is my prediction.

Surprised T.Nield at Norwich-he was from Norfolk[I know he isn't
based there now].Also,travel costs at Bristol City will be
high-officials from most parts of the UK.........
