Breakspear off to Colchester this weekend… and a very good game
for James Oldham at the top of league two.

Huge game for Stephen Parkinson at the top of league 1 - Lincoln
v Bradford
Also top 6 clashes for Paul Howard and Edward Duckworth in
league 1 too.

Well I’ve been asking for Stephen Parkinson, didn’t expect him
to get our biggest game of the season though! Fairly pleased
with Duckworth too but thought that game may have attracted SG2

Crewe with two of the inexperienced pick of the bunch with Isaac
Searle and Aaron Farmer for some big games.
David Webb with double league two!

Two safe pairs of hands in Charles Breakspear and Ben Atkinson
for Colchester this week.
A little strange to see David Webb get back to back trips below
the Championship. Top games for Howard, Duckworth, J Oldham,
Corlett and Parkinson.
And a Double Dosage of Dutton for David at Doncaster!

I believe that it is almost two years since David Webb has been
seen below Championship level. He has had a few fourth official
appointments so it isn't as though he has been out of action.

See Stockbridge becomes the third different referee appointed to
Rochdale v Southend this season.
Hopefully it will start and finish this time, although there’s
meant to be snow on the way next week…

I hope Mr Atkinson performs better at Colchester than he did at
Peterborough, where he issued 11 yellows and a red in a game
where many of both sides described his performance as the worst
they have ever seen...plainly ridiculous thing to say, but it
was a very bad and inconsistant day at the office
