He received an average rating of 5.08 following the 3-1 win away at Chesterfield in 2018. Some of the comments can be found below:
plumbob: “Just about par performance for a league 2 ref. No game-changing decisions. Like the rest, gave Rhead very little, and quite a few soft decisions both ways.
5.5.”
hulloutpost: “First half I didn’t know what he was or wasn’t going to give next; very inconsistent and definitely gave in Chesterfield favour. Apparently, Woodyard standing his ground was a free-kick to them but completely smashing Green in the back with no chance of winning the ball was ok. Second half he improved so a 5 from me.”
Rasenimp: “5.
Made it very bitty I thought. Gave a lot for baldy and the game kept stopping when players weren’t injured. Thought we might be playing until midnight at one point.”
