It really does feel to me that Farai Hallam is the top SG2 at
the moment. Another Good Friday night fixture for him.
Josh Smith seemed to be a lucky charm for us two years ago so
hopefully he continues to be on Saturday.
Tom Kirk picks up another televised game too.

Josh Smith! I knew it wouldn't be long till we eventually got
him! No complaints as I am a big fan of him, I will always stand
by my point that he would be in the Premier League or at least
be getting a few games per season. if it wasn't for injuries.
Great to see both Bell's out there - great appointments all
round!
Wasn't expecting to see Dan Cook down here though - but hope it
goes well for him!

Does it - can you expand on this further ? He’s clearly in
favour and being pushed ( no doubt he will get an SG1 game
shortly ) but from the matches / clips I have seen of him this
season, he’s far from the top SG2 referee
Edit - Just fixing the quote.

Well it’s only my opinion. I wasn’t stating a fact.
I just feel like he’s had some really good appointments thus
far. He’s been to all the relegated grounds already with some of
them being good games (Ipswich v Sheffield United* and
Southampton v Middlesbrough). The two matches I have watched
him, the Ipswich game and Leicester v Pompey, he has performed
very well in my opinion. The appointments he’s had and how well
he’s performed makes me believe he’s one of the top performers
so far this season. Just my opinion, thats all.
I’d like to know what games you’ve watched of him that makes you
think he’s not had a good start however.
*I’m aware of their poor start but before the season started you
would’ve said that was a standout game.
