He received an average rating of 6.17 following the 1-0 defeat at home against Ipswich Town in November. Some of the comments can be found below:

sedgleyimp: “Seemed to take his time over a few decisions which I’m not sure is a sign of being indecisive or methodical!!

Some were suggesting their defender in the first half was the last man but I think a yellow was probably about right.

I’ll go 7/10.”

Impala: “Let a bit go for both sides, but generally did OK.

The yellow in the first half – took his time, and their players looked worried, but there was still a long way for Bruno to go for an obvious goal-scoring chance, so the decision was about right.

We seem to have a lot of referees coming into contact with the ball recently which isn’t always a good sign, but he applied the new law correctly and quickly to keep us in possession.

7/10.”

kettrin imp: “Very inconsistent but didn’t affect the result. Probably better than the original idiot. 5.”
