There was another defender and that's why he wasn't red carded. Unfortunately.

I agree it wasn't a red, but it was really frustrating he only got one yellow. Everyone the ball went near him he seemed to either pull someone to the ground or trip them.

Whilst I am pleased with the result all things considered, and the performance of the lads, I think Hignett's management of the game was poor. It's not the first time I've been unimpressed with his use of substitutions, last week his refusal to bring fresh legs into midfield meant that we completely lost the battle towards the end of the game.

I was amazed it took 56 minutes to get a new centre back on the field to replace Toto. Featherstone isn't a great tackler, hasn't got a great physical presence and tries to retain possession all the time. These things make him a pretty poor centre back. I think an actual centre back could have done more to stop Parkin's goal and there were other occasions they could have scored because Featherstone was out of position.

Then when Craig did eventually make some subs, he took all the strikers off. We were on top of the game, and we just withdrew our attacking presence. Again, both players looked knackered, but why not bring on a player that would threaten the centre backs?

I think we could have won today even though we were down to ten men, if Hignett made more use of his substitutions.

People are constantly complaining about Woods and Featherstone both playing together because neither can tackle, but plenty seem happy for Featherstone to play most of the game at centre back?

Granted he didn't do terribly, a centre back would have done better. He was already essentially taken out of the game playing at centre back.
