First half I thought he did quite well, but he lost it in the second. Too quick on the whistle and Brayford should have seen red for pulling down Wilks outside the box. The assistant in front of the main stand was poor, getting a throw in totally wrong and missing two offsides (one for each side).

Incidentally despite the criticism aimed his way, the referee was correct to allow Boyce to stay on the pitch after treatment. Butler had been booked for the challenge, and when a card is shown the ref can allow a treated player to stay on.

Had he blown for the foul on our player five to ten seconds earlier Butler wouldn't have been booked.

Gone for 2 - he was poor / bad in 2nd Half and why the Wilks pull back was NOT Red is a mystery especially after a direct comparison last night Palace v LFC
