No surprises in here this week. A midlands derby goes to Lewis
Smith - someone who hasn’t had many high profile games this
season.
Kitchen and Whitestone for Ipswich - more than happy with them
too. Safe pairs of hands.

Will Finnie making steady progress. Ruebyn Ricardo's star
continues to climb in the firmament.

Just noticed Whitestone is on the boards for Josh Smith at West
Brom on Friday Night, then Smith is on the boards for him at
Ipswich on Tuesday Night.
No idea if it was intentional or not.

I don’t like how Langford runs towards the player for the second
red as if he was excited to give it.

Not sure if I’ve ever seen a referee excited to give a red card…

Not sure I saw excitement - what I did see was a referee
identifying and correctly penalising the severity of both
challenges, something I have been critical of official in the
past. Well done Langford!
