At the meeting with GP he made a point of saying that he expected a disciplined approach on the field from the team and would not tolerate players being sent off for silly actions. So what have we seen?
Moss, Walton, O'Connor and Rodgers sent off. Any of them unfortunate? I think not.
It DOES affect the team a great deal and I do not feel that these players are being responsible enough to the cause we are seeking i.e. getting away from the relegation zone.
Whether Rodgers dismissal led to our loss today is immaterial. The real upset is that he is now not available for 3 games. An injury to Grant or Langmead and we are down to the bare bones as a strike force.

Without doubt it is a worry, all of them down to the player themsleves loosing thier head. We will end up in trouble with the FA at this rate.
Rodgers and Moss are ticking timebombs on the field they need to grow up fast, no more excuses.

Will he ever learn, 2-1 up playing 10 men gets himself sent off and we lose 4-2! Could of won 3 games on the trot and had 9 points in the bag. When was the last time we did that in the league

7th sending off of the season for us in the league - a few more and the old farts at the FA will be having a quiet word.
The last 4 (Walton, Moss, O'Connor & Rogers) are all ones which should have been avoided and according to GP he will be tough on the perpetrators - let's wait & see what he has to say after the game.

is it a coincidence that all the teams we have played agaisnt under gp have been very wound up and had a few sent off themselves?

1. GP defended Luke tonight 2. We still have Lowie waiting on the sidelines to fill in if needed. 3. 7 of our last 8 goals have come from midfielders. My main concern is who do we play in place of Langmead? ? I just hope he stays fit, 50% of the improvement over the last 4 games has been down to him holding up the ball and giving Granty, Jamie and Dave Edwards a chance to show their worth
