My expectations were low, I said I wasn’t nervous and I told PCollinson that everybody can define what it means to them for themselves. Not sure I said I wasn’t bothered?
Between the sending off and you going ahead 6-18 I was a bit nervous, and there was a brief flicker at 12-18 too. But we don’t carry much threat and without Lunt and McGuire we are a bit directionless too.
Without the sending off, it’d have been a 20+ margin, i’m sure. That would have been shizzle too, if closer to what i’d prepared myself for.

I'm always prepared for a massive defeat. Anything else is a bonus after the scars of 4 years of Agar.
Don't think it's a sending off as I said on the match thread but if players were to bend their backs a bit more when making tackles this would rarely ever be an issue.
Everyone seems to have an opinion on this one I spoke to a rovers fan this morning who said it was never a red card, I believe it was, it was clumsy and a poor technique the arm was coming around but after the fact, he also seemed to change his angle of attack just before leaving the ground and went in at a higher angle, which made it look far worse than it would of otherwise. I would love refs to be consistent but we also need to consistent in our expectations, if we cant decide whats a red and whats not we are never going to be happy with the referees decision. There was no intent to cause harm IMO but it could easily have done as much damage as the one he was on the receiving end of against Warrington if he had him a few inches higher.
