I didn't see the game last night but, from the video, I tend to agree with those who suggested that the first red card was a poor decision. The lad was looking over his shoulder, watching the ball coming down, and it looked to me like an unintentional foul. Painful, but not malicious. Matty Pearson, being the kind of guy who wouldn't pull out of tackle at any height, came off badly; just hope he recovers quickly.
But then, being born in Brampton then raised in Accie, my spectacles are a natty shade of purple.
As for prospects for promotion and play offs, this is a really competitive league and the top half are still in with a shout. The Cobblers have just had a purple patch, but things could change dramatically if one or two other teams find their form for half a dozen games. Easter is usually a decisive period.
