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. #Post#: 77949-------------------------------------------------- Re: Sat 13th Tue 16th APR 2024 By: Acme Thunderer Date: April 8, 2024, 10:32 am --------------------------------------------------------- [quote author=Ryanellis link=topic=5880.msg77944#msg77944 date=1712589602] 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.

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. #Post#: 77976-------------------------------------------------- Re: Sat 13th Tue 16th APR 2024 By: Boz Date: April 8, 2024, 3:20 pm --------------------------------------------------------- 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? ***************************************************** (DIR) Next Page
