Just putting my preview together: Saturday’s referee is Josh Smith from Bedfordshire, who has shown 106 yellow cards and six red in 27 games so far this season. Smith has already taken charge of five Town matches in 2023/24, most recently the 1-1 draw at Leicester just over a month ago in which he booked Clarke, Luongo and Lewis Travis. He also took charge of the 2-2 derby draw at home to Norwich City just before Christmas in which he booked only Woolfenden and Morsy. Prior to that, he took control of the 1-0 win at Bristol City at the end of October in which he yellow-carded Davis, Morsy, Hirst and Jackson. Earlier in the season, Smith refereed the 1-0 win at Southampton, in which he cautioned Brandon Williams and Taylor. Smith was also the man in the middle for the 2-0 home victory over Stoke City in which he yellow-carded Morsy, Hladky, Janoi Donacien and one of the visitors. Last season, he refereed the 4-4 draw at Charlton in October 2022 in which he booked nine players - Morsy, Burns, Walton, Dominic Ball, Tyreece John-Jules and four Addicks - as well as sending off home manager Ben Garner for taking his protests too far following the Blues’ second goal. Before that, he was in charge of the 4-0 win at Portsmouth in October 2021 in which he cautioned Morsy, George Edmundson and two home players, one of them Harness. Smith was also in control of the 2-2 home draw with the MK Dons in August 2021 in which he yellow-carded Woolfenden, Kane Vincent-Young and one visiting player. His only other Town match was the 2-1 EFL Trophy defeat away at Exeter in January 2020 in which he again booked Woolfenden, as well as Toto Nsiala, Will Keane and one Grecian. | | | |

Apart from Norwich’s goals both being offside and allowing play to continue after umpteen Norwich fouls? | | | |

Let's hope he's researched the offside rule since the Norwich game! | | | |

Am i right in saying he was the ref who briefed our players pre season on the rule change etc. If so he might as well just travel on the team bus. Feel like he has done 25 of our games this year. | |

You're not allowed to say "Clive Thomas" without "f**cking" in the middle, uttered with a level of venom and spit. Edited to say I preferred Steve Martin in Father of the Bride. [Post edited 28 Feb 13:21]

Perhaps there is a level of ability in considering who gets the teams at the top? Or perhaps there isn't a lot of thought given at all and it has just happened that way? At any rate, let's hope he keeps fit unless Stroud is replaced first! | |

Did you have to remind us. That Charlton game! Looks like Morsy is going to land in the book based on track record | | | |
