Barring any late changes, Keith Stroud of Hampshire will be in the middle for Blues’ Championship game against Ipswich at Portman Road today. Here is a look at his stats.

Season Performance

Mr Stroud has taken charge in twenty-eight games so far this season, showing one hundred and twenty-six yellow cards and seven reds. Of those games, nine have been in the Championship and in those games Mr Stroud has booked thirty-six players and sent off four players.

Last Blues Game Refereed

The last game involving Blues Mr Stroud took charge of was the Capital Cup game against Swansea. In that game Mr Stroud booked three players – Colin Doyle of Blues along with Neil Taylor and Leon Britton of Swansea and his performance attracted no mention in my match reflections.

The last game at this level Mr Stroud officiated in was the match between Burnley and Millwall in early February. In that game he booked three players – Danny Ings of Burnley along with Paul Robinson and Ed Upson of Millwall.
