Jackett: "Glennon Should Have Gone Too"
Jackett Seethes At No Consistency |
I guess if it isn't bad enough seeing your side throw away a two goal lead to lose, then seeing your leading scorer sent off in the process probably doubles the pain - maybe triples it if you think that the opposition should already be down to ten men. Well that is the position that Kenny Jackett finds himself in after yesterday's soccer suicide at Huddersfield and he was in no mood to concede that he may be wrong when he spoke to BBC Sport "I didn't see Lee's incident so can't comment, but I'll look at it," he said. "But I was waiting for the Huddersfield keeper (Matthew Glennon) to be sent off after our penalty. "The fourth official said that Ian Craney wasn't in a goal-scoring position, but it seemed the most clear opportunity he could have had." There seemed to be a general blindness to what Trundle actually did to deserve a red card with the PA feed initially saying "foul and abusive" language but a couple of eye witnesses saying there may have been contact by the elbow and the dismissal would therefore have been violent conduct. Alan Tate though insisted that it mattered not "I didn't see what happened, but to be honest Lee should know better," he told BBC Sport Wales. "We'd done well in the first half but were out-battled afterwards. That's not the manager's fault - too many players didn't have it on this occasion, and if we want to go up we've got to adapt to conditions." Whilst Kevin Amankwaah was more concerned with looking forward than back "Huddersfield was a big setback for us, we've been doing so well and that was a real bad way to lose a game," he told BBC Sport Wales. "Brentford are a side battling for their lives, but we've got to go out there and do our best for three points. "The division is so tight and everyone is picking up, so we've got to put a bad day at the office behind us."> What to read next:QPR have put the chastening FA Cup pasting at Leicester behind them with news of contract extensions for three of their brightest young talents – Rayan Kolli, Alfie Lloyd, Kieran Morgan.
