Referee Watch – Graham Salisbury

Barring any late changes, Graham Salisbury of Lancashire will be in the middle for Blues’ Championship fixture against Huddersfield Town at John Smith’s Stadium on Saturday. Here is a look at his stats.

Season Performance

Mr Salisbury has been in the middle for twenty-five games so far this season, showing eighty-one yellow cards and four red cards. Of those games eight have been in the Championship and in those fixtures Mr Salisbury has handed out twenty-eight cautions and sent off two players.

Last Blues Game Refereed

The last Blues fixture Mr Salisbury took charge of was the game between Leeds United and Birmingham City on October 27, which saw Blues win 1-0. In that game Mr Salisbury kept his cards in his pocket and was not mentioned in Colin Tattum’s match report.

Last Championship Game Refereed

The last game at this fixture refereed by Mr Salisbury was the match between Leicester City and Cardiff City at the King Power Stadium, which saw the away side win 1-0. In that game Mr Salisbury booked Ben Turner, Matthew Connolly, and Peter Whittingham of Cardiff City. Mr Salisbury didn’t rate a mention in the Leicester Mercury or South Wales Echo match reports which I consider to be a positive.
