 Previous Games

This will be Andy Davies’ eleventh Latics game, his first was our Championship 2:2 draw against Wolves at Molineux in the 2014/15 season, his last game in charge of us came earlier this season. Birmingham away in August.

1 red card, 2 yellows and 3 points, it turned out alright in the end, but Joe Bennett wrongly receiving his marching orders on 10 minutes looked likely to put Birmingham in the ascendency. Let’s hope Mr Davies isn’t so rash on Saturday.

 

Andy Davies last refereed Rotherham last November in a League One fixture at the New York Stadium against Cambridge United the Millers won the game 3:1 and they picked up 2 yellow cards.

 

Seven games so far for Andy Davies this season, four of which have been in the Championship.
