       Well funny enough, I was at a meeting earlier on in the season.
       The EFL assistant referee there said that they send newbies to
       Crewe because they’re easy to ref!

       And sometimes, in my experience, the newbies are better than
       their more experienced counterparts. I shall look forward to
       seeing Harrison in action on Saturday.

       Declan Bourne gets the lunchtime kickoff for what’s probably the
       game of the week at the Abbey. Lewis Sandoe follows up his EFL
       debut with a big midweek game at Boreham Wood. A return for
       Stuart Morland after he’s been absent since August (minus a
       return in the NLN a week ago)
       2 big games this week for Colchester against playoff chasing
       rivals go to Ross Martin (with SG2 assistants) and Simon Mather,
       who takes over from Declan Bourne for the rearranged
       Chesterfield match. Mather had a shocker in the last match I saw
       of his last season but by all accounts did well in a match I
       didn’t see at Notts County in November.

       I can imagine the same discussion being had higher up the chain
       in the PL, and all of a sudden it seems to have stopped for
       Fulham getting newbies after the Lewis Smith match for us v
       Villa.
