we can't say what would or would not have happened without the red card. It was certainly a reckless challenge, but the vale player went down dramatically and his team mates all surrounded the ref who went straight for his red card.
for the rest of the 1st half, we were well disciplined, by which i mean we kept a good shape, tackled when we had to tackle, stood back when we had to stand back. i thought Hughes was impressive in the first half but he wasn't alone. keeper made a couple of good saves but apart from that not much else to do. How many times did we catch Lee Hughes offside? that is not down to him being a fat dopy lump, we defended it well.

At half time, we knew we had to keep up the concentration but alas, it wasn't to be and 2 quick goals added to growing fatigue from the 10 men meant the game was lost.

I think there is definitely room for hope, but we desparately need some feelgood to lift the spirits. Unfortunately, defeats sap the confidence and give voice to the negativity.
