I think (and hope) you are overestimating the risk Plymiron.
I think Evans is the player with the shortest fuse and is definitely targeted because of that but I think Jimmy will have him on the bench and stick with Kouogan and Boyce.
I would play Evans and risk the temper as he is easily the best passer of the 3 and equally good defensively. If we were playing Alfreton or Curzon I think it would be more of an issue. Boston are physically strong and they keep intensity levels throughout the game but they favour a bit of football rather than the dark arts to get results.
Whitehall gets into a few spats mainly because of his own attempts at shithousery but I was impressed with him at Spennymoor. He was unfairly booked early on and targeted for the rest of the game without ever responding.
I think our other red cards have been Scales and McAlinden for mistimed tackles, the kind of things that happen now and again.
I know some fans think refs have a downer on us and on Whitehall in particular. Apart from the idiot at Spennymoor I think a scary number of refs have been incompetent but not biased. Quite a few refs would not give Whitehall a free kick unless he was a victim of of GBH but he brings that upon himself and obviously his reputation goes before him.
Hoping for a decent ref, Whitehall concentrating on his football, no red cards, a good game, a record crowd, no bloody flares and an iron win in normal time.
Not much to ask.
