Saturday’s referee is Mick Russell from Hertfordshire who is in his 4th season as a Football League referee. He averages 2 yellows per game and has sent off 5 players so far this season.
Mick Russell will take charge of his 2nd Swansea game this season, he took charge of the 4-1 away win at Bournemouth – he didn’t have the best of matches, he awarded a penalty for the opposition and booked 3 Swansea players, though we did have a penalty of our own.
In the four Swansea games Mick Russell has officiated in there has been a massive 18 goals – an average of 4.5 goals per game, this tends to suggest that he lets the game flow, so the omens are good for the visit of Yeovil.
