Sky Sports is now reffing the game. Every player needs to stay down when they feel contact so that we can have 7v7 once they get time to clip the contact for the big screen. We’ve been terrible with our discipline but that pitch is a death trap.
Worst reffing performance of a generation. They needed all that help and beat us in the last few minutes. Saints won't be anywhere near us at seasons end, i am more confident about that now. Utter crap from the ref, abysmal.
Despite a poor ref performance I do think our discipline has let us down. And we played very conservatively. But the good news is that if that is the best Saints can do on their own pitch we will have no worries by the end of the season.

Defensively we were fine but in attack we looked off it, Field needs a rest (at least) as he looks well off it., not sure if he is carry a knock. Our link play was not there, too many of our players were too shallow at times - no depth.
Saints were hard working but way average, thier so called strike players did very little.
Ref was ridiculously one sided, every time we threatened to get back into the game he found a penalty for Saints and for some reason only one side deserved six-agains.
The Byrne sending off was an awful decision - ruinined the game and still can't figure out what it was for - his arm was down by his side, the Dupree one was much more of a red card in my opinion.
