Bacona was very lucky to only get a yellow for the nasty and very late high tackle on Manning. I hope Manning will be ok.
It was a clear RED for me. The Ref consulted with the linesman in depth, but for me a very clear red card. 0-0 Half Time.
We look solid and able to get the ball off them quite easily. Look good going forward but no end product. Couple of decent saves by Lumley. Would take a draw right now but this could be settled on either on act of brilliance or a complete **** up by either side.
Ref bottled it with the red: 100% certain sending off (if it was one of our players). Very good from us apart from the Rat who tried the same pass as at Stoke again.
Sickener seeing as Grant replaces Bacuna at HT. Bacuna should’ve been down the tunnel well before the HT whistle.
