Tierney with the Lancashire Derby. Madley with the Steel City Derby.

Good games for Tom Kirk and David Webb in midweek.

Whitestone and Lewis Smith for us. Safe pairs of hands in my eyes.

Whitestone has been a very solid SG2 official for many years and I’ve never had any cause for complaint when he officiated us in the EFL. 

Derby County clearly upset someone at the PGMOL … Gavin Ward already making his 4th appearance this season

David Webb was i/c Sheffield Wednesday's amazing comeback 6-2 win v Peterborough in a Play off Semi 2nd leg 2-3 seasons back, and I am sure they will be hoping for a smilar result in Sunday's Steel City derby.

Madley must have picked up a knock that will keep him out for a little bit as he’s been replaced on 4O duties midweek as well at Hull and West Brom.

David Webb is more than capable for the Sheffield derby. A very safe pair of hands indeed.

Which also means Matthew Donohue gets a top of the table clash at Middlesbrough on Tuesday night.

Big game for Kirk at WBA on Wednesday, a sign he seems to be heading the pecking order for a trial game in the PL.

Josh Smith gets the M4 derby at Ashton Gate.

No surprise with SG1 at Preston, and Madley will be more than capable of handling the Sheffield derby, having done the Merseyside derby twice in the past.

I wonder if Whistleblower will have the chance of seeing muscle man at Charlton at the weekend.

No, I won't be there on Saturday

Madley failing mid season fitness test again which removes him from appointments with immediate effect….happens every season.

Is this fact or rumour?
