Nottingham Post''s impartial view of the Eric Lichaj sending off :

That, coupled with another farcical sending off - this time for Eric Lichaj who was guilty of little other than dangling a leg in the direction of Josh Murphy, whose subsequent tumble was enough to persuade referee Scott Duncan to flash a second yellow card to the American, followed by a red that should have been matched by the colour of his face – only added to the frustration and disappointment.

The law clearly states "Trips or attempts to trip an opponent" and on top of that you can clearly see the verbal abuse he''s giving the ref for giving the foul, the red card was fully justified however you look at it. I wouldn''t be surprised if the card was given for the dissent.

It wasn''t a straight red, it was a 2nd yellow, resulting in the red.

Agree though, deserved another for the verbals.

Howson''s volley was just amazing, but you have to give Wes some enormous credit for his as well. The touch to control the ball was just sublime, and then to know that the keeper was out of his goal and to be able to hit it so quickly and with such accuracy was incredible.

Its no coincidence that when Wes plays well, the team does too. We really miss him when he''s not there, though Pritchard is certainly a more than adequate replacement - again, we''ve seen two stunning performances from him in the Brentford game and on Saturday.
