IS the present standard of refereeing a concern and how did you rate last Sunday's official out of 100? Daniel Stevanato, e-mail
Jacko says: THE referees this season have been very inconsistent.
Last Sunday against Brentford, I thought the referee spoiled what was a perfectly good game.
I thought it was a typical old-fashioned sort of game, very physical and with tackles flying in.
But I think Carl Boyeson set the tone for the whole game when, in the first minute, he missed a blatant elbow by Sam Sodje on Junior Mendes in the box.
He could probably have shown a red card to Deon Burton, too, for an elbow on Steve Yates which also went unpunished.
I also thought we should have had a penalty near the end when a Mendes cross was handled.
I know managers always seem to be complaining about referees, but I was bitterly disappointed with Mr Boyeson's display.
We haven't had many good refs this season, in fact, but in answer to the question I would give him 30 out of 100.
Thankfully, tomorrow, we've got one of the better ones in the FA Cup over at Stockport.
I've always liked Graham Laws, he's approachable before, after and during the game and I've always admired his man-management.
Having said this, it's probably the cue for him to have a nightmare tomorrow!
I HAVE become concerned about Junior Mendes' workrate and tendancy to `bottle' challenges. How long will Pav be left to do all the work up front? Nic Beevers, e-mail
Jacko says: I DISAGREE and I'm very happy with Junior.
His scoring record before he went away with Montserrat speaks for itself with six in six games, and strikers are judged on the amount of goals they score.
I was a little bit disappointed with his display last Sunday, when he didn't look as sharp as he had done during the previous month, but I have put that down to his trip for the interntional games.
I was disappointed for him to break his run of matches and goals, but I do think that Junior has been an excellent addition to the squad.
He is a very popular lad among the squad, he loves playing for this club and, with his pace and skills, he has formed an excellent partnership with Pawel Abbott.
Junior has settled in really well here and I can't understand complaints about his contribution.
And he'll keep scoring, just watch.
I WAS surprised when you said you enjoy management more than playing. Why? Tim Porter, Winchester
Jacko says: FROM the moment I wake up to the moment I go back to sleep, I love everything about being a manager.
Dealing with the players on a daily basis is brilliant, picking the side I believe is going to win and all the things we do in training.
I enjoy working with the board and the staff, organising our away trips, meeting agents, PR for the club and the whole package, really.
Football management is very much about highs and lows and it all depends on how your team are doing and how the results are going.
Over the past 17 months, I've had a lot more highs than lows, although I still take defeat very hard - I always have done.
The other week in the LDV, for instance, I was up three times in the night thinking about how we'd conceded the goals!
Even the very top managers have lows like that, but I'm very proud of what we've achieved during my time here as manager.
In my first season we had the Great Escape and in my second I took us to the top of the table, spent no money and got sacked for finishing 10th in what is now the Championship.
Last season - only my third at the helm - we won promotion and now, a third of the way through another campaign, we are handily placed to make another challenge at the top.
I think we're doing fantastically and, working with the players, staff and fans that I am, why wouldn't I enjoy being a manager?
WHY is Lee Fowler not starting when he's done well for Wales U21s and when he improves our play when he's involved? Helen, Wigan; Angry Fan, e-mail; Andy, Huddersfield and John, Cowlersley
Jacko says: IN the games when we've played really well, our midfield has been Worthington, Brandon and Schofield, with Jon Worthington in the anchor role.
Lee is disappointed not to be in the side at the moment, obviously, because he wants to be playing and I have had him into the office to talk about the whole situation and where we go from here.
Like a number of other players, he will just have to be patient and wait for a chance to get in the side.
Lee was unfortunate when I played him from the start down at Doncaster that the whole team didn't perform, and while he did okay against Walsall and has started in the two LDV ties, my first-choice midfield is with Worthy as the anchor and both Brandon and Schofield doing their bit in attack.
I think Worthy has been excellent again this season in that position and it does make life difficult for Lee, but he's just got to make sure he's ready to grasp the opportunity when it comes.
I can say there is no possibility of him going out on loan because we've only got a small squad, but on the flip side Lee is one of those who really benefits from playing matches.
In the Reserves, he often finds it too easy and, while he did well for Wales, you get a lot more time on the ball in those games than you do in Coca-Cola League I.
Lee has worked very hard on his fitness, though, and I understand his eagerness to play because he's a really talented player, but he'll just have to be patient.
IT'S good to see Rachubka back, but why didn't he clap to the fans before the game and how difficult is it to keep Senior motivated when it's clear you don't see him as No1 material? Jessica, Huddersfield; Vicky Adams, e-mail and Jules Brown
Jacko says: I BROUGHT Rabs back because of the injury situation with Ian Gray and we know the quality he's got.
I thought Rabs was superb last Sunday and the only reason I can think he didn't acknowledge the fans is that he gets so wrapped up in preparations for the game.
He is very good to have in the dressing room, he is very serious about how he approaches games and on the technical side, he is his own biggest critic.
The fact he didn't clap the fans would not be down to ignorance, just the fact he was wrapped up in the game and wanting to keep a clean sheet.
With Phil, he always keeps his head up and doesn't need motivating. He plays well, doesn't let anyone down and his attitude and shot stopping are great.
If he were six inches taller I've no doubt he'd be a regular, but I've no problems with playing him. None at all.
WHY was Carss at left wing-back when he hasn't been doing that well? Udders57, e-mail
Jacko says: TONY is quick, good in the air and has a great left foot. He can also defend as well as score goals and take set pieces.
To have got a player of Carssy's quality on a free is a great bit of business because he was not only one of the best left-sided players in Division III, he is now one of the best in League I and gives us great balance at wing-back.
