A Tuesday night under the Huish Park lights? Oh, yeah, go on then.
A referee who’s overseen just three Yeovil games, all of which have resulted in Green and White losses? Ah, that’s a shame.
Look, we’re not holding it against Richie Watkins, but we’d sure like it if we could put that stat to bed this midweek.
He was in charge for the Glovers’ loss to Hemel Hempstead in the FA Cup earlier this season *shudders*, he took charge of a 1-0 defeat to Bromley in the National League relegation season and oversaw the Parma Violet Glovers losing 2-0 to Maidenhead United in 2023.
That FA Cup game saw him caution Finn Cousin-Dawson and Morgan Williams.
This season, his Transfermarkt stats read 15 games officiated, 60 yellows (4 per match for the mathematicians out there), eight reads and two penalties.
Those stats include a 2-2 draw between Aldershot and Brackley, where the Shots’ Ben Jackson saw red in the second half.
He’ll be assisted by Ryan McILravey and Adam Wilson, with Jack Clench on the bench, just in case.
