He received an average rating of 3.188 following the 2-1 win away at Milton Keynes Dons last season. Some of the comments can be found below:
Woodis: “3. He gets no better. You just never know what he’s going to dream up next. He’s learned a new trick to try to buy marks from the assessor – play an obvious advantage then go back and book the offender no matter how innocuous the challenge. Gave us a soft pen then didn’t much better shout, then tried to even it up by giving MK soft free-kicks outside the box. How does he pass the fitness test – awful, always has been, always will be.”
segleyimp: “I’ll give a generous 3 for his use of the advantage rule on a few occasions, one of which led to our winning goal.
Otherwise so far behind the action constantly. Our penalty wasn’t one. Their goal looked way offside (though camera angles not great to be 100% sure) and just generally whistle happy.”
hulloutpost: “Mr. Huxtable if you worked in a circus you’d be a 10 every time we see you. Unfortunately, you are not a clown by trade but are in fact meant to be a referee. Unfit, inconsistent, and often just plain wrong 2/10.”
HitherImp: “Oh dear. So many issues, perhaps best summarised as ‘not really cut out for refereeing’. Card happy, easily fooled by theatrics, WAY behind the play so many times, and utterly comedic when giving players a ‘ticking off’ Hopefully we shan’t have the dubious pleasure of his company again this season!
3, for playing the advantages correctly as mentioned above.”
