I think you're wrong there. and a weird way smiths sin binning was pivotal moment of the game ... We'd weathered Saints opening spell of the second half and were getting a bit of momentum . Smiths kick 'n' chase deserved at least a kick out , he had every right to challenge for the ball. Wellens over reacted , Smith over reacted and got a Yellow, penalty yes , Yellow card?
At that mid point of the second half 13 against 13 any Saints score would've put them back in the ascendancy , they've done it so many times before , but against 12 men , suddenly galvanised by the sin binning we raised our game , in their faces it provided the impetus to contain them for the 10 minute spell and capitalise a chance when we'd coughed up some guilt edged chances previously .. basically Smiths sin binning won us the game.
