I had a clear view of the red card as did the linesman it was one of those tackles that could be given either way, The red did seem harsh but depending on the angle the ref made a call. The linesman did not see it the same way and could have been more helpful all round. It was a much improved performance although panicky at times. We missed the cool head of Nicky hunt, and the presence of Adam Buxton. we should have made at least two subs for the last 20 mins, Proctor was struggling badly as was gornal. Josh took his goal well but on other occassions showed a little inexperience. Our long passing is terrible, we rarely hit the target. when we get into a multiple heading situation we inevitably lose as we must be the shortest team in the division. we should stick to playing on the floor, we are at our best when attacking. Piero was fabulous and led by example. Yet we send our best striker out on loan to Northampton and signed a youngster from Burnley and then didn't play him?????? The goalkeeper seemed very nervous and his distribution was poor and slow at times. Again I will state I not a coleman hater or lover but his judgement is questionable to date. I don't know what his restraints are with players, finance etc. But I do know he is a touch tactically naive.
I do think the club or Manager need to make a statement on the James Gray situation as it seem to have caused a lot of consternation amongst supporters. But it was good game all round just spoiled by poor quality officials.
