Given that appointment for Barrott he’s heading for SG1 in rapid fashion IMO.

An amazing appointment for Barrott given this is his 1st season on SG2. There are many more established refs in SG2 who have never had the Welsh derby so it is safe to assume he is being fast tracked already

Interesting appointing , Matthew Donohue will have been appointed twice already to Plymouth games having done game 1 and now game 7 he was fine but seems a quick turnaround. Happy with Gavin ward for our away day at Preston .

Just noticed too that Sam Barrott had Swansea in the 2nd round of matches on 12th August so a quick return for him too

I don't think that's unreasonable personally - it's 6 league games and more than a month in between matches. I think Donahue's refereed 9 Championship teams already this season (and presumably it's similar for other SG2 referees) so I guess after 6 weeks or so it's likely that a referee somewhere will need to referee the same team again.

There are 24 teams. Very early but this is the modern way

Yes but 2 teams play in each match - so if for instance the 9 teams that Donohue had refereed were all playing a team Donohue hadn't refereed then there'd only be 3 fixtures that round that he could referee if you were insistent he couldn't take charge of the same team again. Hendo mentioned Barrott and I think he's refereed 8 Championship teams so far this season.

Once you factor in any teams that a particular referee can't officiate due to supporting them etc, appointments for upcoming games and the teams that other referees have already officiated then I'd think the options would narrow relatively quickly.

 .... and Josh Smith referees Ipswich for the second time in half a dozen League matches. Perhaps they should give a little more thought to the appointments.

Bond has gone off at Huddersfield after 29 mins with a reported hamstring issue - Reeves on to replace.

Thought Reeves looked alright. All four cautions were justified. Think I'm right in saying that Bond didn't give a FK for a foul in the 23 minutes he was on for - only offsides. Hopefully, went off as a precaution with what looked like a hamstring problem - a few games on VAR should do the trick.
