After a glut debutant referees, man in charge tomorrow is Lee Collins from Surrey. He has been fast tracked through the system and rose to the level of League referee remarkably quickly, this being his second season.
He started his career off with 6 red cards in his first 11 matches, but has since calmed down a lot and not added to that total since. His yellow card count last season finished not too much above average and this season it's just 7 yellows from 3 games.
He has refereed Southend twice before. Most recently, Oxford away at the end of last season (one caution for us, two for them) and before that at, co-incidentally, Dagenham in the 3-2 League win when he cautioned Mohsni and again two of theirs. He didn't attract much comment, adverse or otherwise.
So we have a 100% record with Mr Collins. Fingers crossed for the hat-trick tomorrow.
Assistants will be Ryan Atkin from London and Guy Stretton from Leicester with Neil Hair from Peterborough doing the 4th Official stuff.
