       An important game for Anthony Backhouse at Bolton, as well as
       Simon Mather for Crewe v Grimsby where the former Crewe manager
       returns and a big clash at both ends of the table.

       Highlight there for me is Ben Speedie getting two massive games,
       potentially decisive at the top of league two and bottom of
       league one. Perhaps he is on for a Champ game in the near
       future. Two of the other top games in league one go to SG2 Andy
       Davies and Anthony Backhouse.
       As for Colchester, we do get Scott Oldham after his last
       assignment with us was postponed and Carl Brook keeps the
       important rearranged clash for us against Grimsby.

       I shall not be at Crewe Alex on Saturday but I have now got my

       I hope it's not David Webb. He was awful the last time I saw him
       at Gresty Road. Oliver, Taylor or Jones would do nicely thank
       you, but sadly I don't think we'll be getting any of them!

       It would be really interesting to know which is the chief
       criterion for getting a trial game at a more senior level. I
       guess it must be Observers' reports, always assuming there isn't
       any dirty work at the crossroads with favouritism.
       Someone I am amazed hasn't been offered a trial is Neil Hair. He
       has been outstandingly good on the three times I have seen him,
       one of the very best I have seen in Leagues 1 and 2.  Clearly
       the Observers think otherwise or maybe he has indicated he does
       not wish to be considered for promotion and go full time.
       Charles Breakspear is another who I think has been unfairly
       overlooked if, indeed, he is willing to go higher.

       It feels strange that there are fewer triallist referees now
       that there are more games with less depending on them to cut
       their teeth on. Maybe they're required for key fixtures lower
       down?
