Ref Watch ..... Hereford
Well, there can't be a team in the land we have a better recent record against than Hereford. Eight straight League wins, with 6 out of the last 7 (including three away matches) without conceding a goal. The original appointee, Graham Horwood, has for the fourth time in five Southend...- Mick

Ref Watch ....... Tilly and Brush reunion
The man in charge of Saturday's match at Lincoln is Peter Quinn from Cleveland. He is a second year referee and, based on appointments, not one of the better second year officials. He was recently given his first Championship appointment and I think it's fair to say it didn't go well. He will...- Mick

Ref Watch ...... Wycombe (short ref alert!)
Tomorrow night the officials are largely as per the original appointments which means we have Andy Woolmer from Northampton. He is a very short referee with even shorter hair and, as shorter officials sometimes do, he has the capacity to be slightly officious. Okay, not slightly but very...- Mick

Ref Watch ..... Accrington away
Man in charge on Saturday is Carl Boyeson from Hull. He is a reasonably experienced official in his 9th season and will be officiating his 9th Southend match. So far we have won 3, lost 4 and drawn the other so a win would balance that out nicely. His last two Southend matches both finished up...- Mick

Ref Watch ........ Oxford
Man in charge on Tuesday night is Keith Hill from Hertfordshire. He was the FA's Regional Referees Manager for the East of England. Does that mean he is a top official? I'm afraid not. He has been refereeing since he was fourteen. Promoted to the National List of Assistant referees in 1994 and...- Mick

Ref for Saturday - pre Mick's excellent ref watch
We have Roger East from Wiltshire. Domestic highlights of his career include assistant referee appointments on the 2003 League Two FL Play Off Final, the 2004 FA Cup Final and the 2006 Community Shield. Managed the game we lost at home to Millwall last March and our cup with against Northwich...- south247

Saturday's referee for our match on a ground we haven't lost at for 26 years, is Graham Horwood from Luton, in his 4th year as a League referee and refereeing his first Southend away game. He has however made four visits to Roots Hall in his short League career and they weren't too bad. The...- Mick

Ref Watch ..... Walsall
Today sees our third "must win" home game in quick succession. Each one we don't win, the next one is even more of a must win and I think tonight really is last chance saloon. Anyway we go from one of the smallest referees to one of the biggest. Hopefully the difference in performance will be...- Mick
