Daniel Middleton

Middleton has officiated two matches in League Two so far this season and today's clash will be his first in the National League this term.

Middleton showed 94 yellow and five red cards in 30 games last season.

If you are looking for a good omen, Middleton's last match involving the Shrimpers was a 2-0 win for Kevin Maher's side against Dagenham & Redbridge in April 2023.

Jack Bridge scored both of Blues' goals from the penalty spot that day.
