Neil Davies has been so poor both on field and on VAR. I dont
see how hes in the running for what would be a second cup final.
I still think they'll swap him with someone else into Gillett's
nearer the time, like how Brooks ran with Bennett and Greenhalgh
last year and then did 1 game a week before the final with Smart
and Greenhalgh who he did the final with.
Giving Davies (who's performances dont even merit a 2nd time)
the final would be a massive two fingers to the likes of Smith,
Wilkes, Howson, Antrobus and more who've been excellent all
season while Davies has had the consistency of Antrobus' mic
pack yesterday!

Brooks, Harrington, Salisbury, Jones and Brooks all injured it
seems and no games for Taylor/Oliver. Bit of a strange double
game week when it comes to appointments. 8 with double
appointments...

Given the absentees through injury or a FIFA seminar, is it
surprising there is no Kitchen, Kirk or Hallam rather than so
many referees getting 2 matches? Another official regarded as
having great potential, Ricardo, has a couple of 40 duties.

Josh Smith has had some decent outings recently so he could have
stepped into the fray to help out.
Sending Tim Robinson all the way up to Newcastle to hold the
numbers board seems excessive.

2 4O appointments for Webb and Ricardo, with Josh Smith not
involved at all. Confusing but hey ho. I am confident Josh will
get a few games at some point in the last portion of the season.
I thought he was going to get a promotion a few seasons ago but
injury unfortunately crept in.
I think him or Donohue and Kitchen are the front runners this
season (outside of the Supp List)

Good luck to England at Arsenal. He has been average tonight at
Everton in a game that hasn’t been that difficult

I wonder if there’s something else going on other than injury.
Surely he’d do VAR if he was injured.

a bit short with referees with 5 injured-gives a golden
opportunity then for Kirk smith Donahue kitchen and Hallam or
recardo perhaps to get a few appointments in over the nest
couple of matchweeks
surprised to see no Taylor or Oliver poss Uefa seminar or being
given a rest after midweek duties
nice to see Tim Robinson with game sat and midweek-hope it goes
well min both games
banks continuing to set the standard with high profiled games
again
