REFEREE

Graham Horwood (Luton) Horwood has shown 22 yellow cards in the seven games he has taken charge of so far this season but has yet to brandish a red card.

He last refereed the Shrimpers in November 2016, when Phil Brown’s side were beaten 4-0 at Stevenage in the Checkatrade Trophy.

Horwood also officiated Blues’ 2-1 win at home to Oxford United last season.
