Normally do this on a Friday but some people just cant wait !
The referee will be Carl Boyeson from Hull, an experienced official in his 15th season who will be officiating his 11th Southend match. A central heating technician in his late forties, he is one of the most experienced referees on the Football League List.
So far in his matches we have won 3, lost 5 and drawn the other 2.
His last Southend match was the season before last at Shrewsbury. A 1-1 draw with Tyrone Barnett and Jack Payne getting a goal apiece. The yellow cards were a 1-1 draw too with Coker getting ours.
Before that was a poor performance, not by him especially, but by us. It was the 2-1 defeat at Northampton in 2013/14 with yellows for Timlin and Phillips and one of theirs. Prior to that, his last two Southend matches both finished up 3-0. More recently the 3-0 victory in 2009/10 against a woeful Walsall side. No complaints with an early dismissal and two yellows, all to the visitors. Before that was the 3-0 defeat in the early kick-off match at Leicester in 2008/9 (the match in which Liam Feeney, now Bolton, played all 10 minutes of his Southend career), where he didn't caution anyone and previously a late 4-3 defeat at Hartlepool the previous season (two yellows each). Earlier matches included another win over Walsall, another defeat at Leicester but nothing especially noteworthy. So a couple of wins over Walsall !!!!!
I've always thought him to be a decent, steady journeyman of a referee, but he was never likely to be selected for the full-time Select Group 2. Was one of the .. er bulkier referees when he started out. Not so much so now and clearly coping with the rigours of the fitness tests.
This season's card count is unusually high - an above-average 53 yellows from 15 games but no reds (yet).
Assistants are Nicholas Barnard from Warrington and Matt Bristow from Manchester with Geoff Russell from Rushden as Fourth Official.
