Friday night's game sees the appointment of, in my opinion, a very decent referee in Mick Russell, from St Albans.

His season has been very much stop-start with at least two breaks for injuries but he has done a couple of games since his latest comeback.

A very steady official, this will be his 6th Southend match and his fourth at Roots Hall. His first home Southend match was also Freddie Eastwood's first match and we know what happened there! His next home game was the early season victory over Stoke a couple of years back. His most recent home match was the 3-3 derby match with Colchester when he cautioned 5 of theirs and none of ours.

Both of his away matches have been on the south coast; the 1-1 draw at Bournemouth when Sodje was injured and the 3-2 defeat at Brighton last year.

These 5 matches have produced 9 cards and surprisingly he is yet to caution a Southend player (and, yes, McCormack was playing!). His normal card count is about 2 per match.

Judging by his pre-injury appointments he is quite well rated by the powers that be.

Assistants are Wes Linden and Olexsandr Saliy both from Middlesex (although Saliy previously refereed at quite a high standard in Ukraine) with Ian Bentley from Kent wielding the numbers board.

Can't wait to hear the 'man on the mike' pronounce that:D
