Stats

Will Finnie joined the EFL list in 2017 and has since clocked up more than 100 games across the three leagues as well as refereeing last season’s FA Vase final at Wembley between Great Wakering and Romford. The 30-year-old made his Championship debut in April last year in Millwall 3-1 Cardiff.

He finished last season with 128 yellows (3.2) and seven reds from a chunky diary of 40 appointments. Nine yellows and two reds at Wimbledon 2-1 Mansfield in League Two was by far his biggest total. This season he’s booked 77 (3.08) and sent one off in 25 games topped out by a whole clutch of games where he’s shown five cards. Ten of those games have been in the Championship and he got Newcastle v Bromley followed by Southampton v Burnley in the FA Cup.

This is his second Coventry appointment following a 1-0 win against Oxford in the League Cup here back in August.
