REFEREE
Gavin Ward (Surrey)
Ward has shown 19 yellow cards in the six games he has taken charge of so far this season but has yet to brandish a red card.
He last refereed the Shrimpers on the final day of last season, when Phil Brown’s side beat Bury 1-0 at Roots Hall but still missed out on the League One play-off places.
Ward also officiated Blues’ 1-1 draw with Bristol Rovers in August 2016 and sent off Cian Bolger in the Shrimpers’ 0-0 draw with Dagenham & Redbridge in December 2014.
