    Pretty sure it's for swinging his arm backwards and catching Wood in the face.

    The assistant flags instantly, and as soon as he makes the referee aware of what he's seen, the red is out.

    Just watched the highlights, definitely the right call, the player has no business swinging his arm like that AND he made contact.

    Just like the “ penalty “ on Saturday, the camera is far too far away for the viewer to decide. Like it or not it’s what the ref saw and in this case , what he saw AND heard.

    Have you watched it again on the highlights?

    Perhaps it's higher definition here, but you can definitely see Banks lashing out and catching Wood in the face right in front of the assistant.

    Not sure about that I was reading the report of their game with Morecambe they are very much a passing team probing and probing for an opening but they are strong defensively as well it will be another tough game for both sides

    He definitely made contact. You could see how red the left side of Wood's face was at the end of the game.

    Definitely.

    I think the doubt has come from the fact the referee didn't signal to Banks that he was about to send him off when he casually walked towards his assistant. Then suddenly, red card is out.

    I think because Banks looked so surprised, possibly because it's hard to know whether it was his intent to lamp Wood like that or not, it's put doubt in people's minds. Not for me, lad thought he'd got away with it but he hadn't.

    Woods still red in the face from his pathetic diving attempt to win a pen earlier. Rightly carded.

    Great 3 points, not so great of a performance. We’ve got wins in the last couple of games without being overly impressive but we have a solid defence and always seem to have a goal or two in us (not a bad combo!)

    It’ll be interesting against Bolton as hopefully they’ll open up and attack us. The players looks quite tired today I thought (mentally and physically) with a lot of sloppy passing. Let’s hope we’re up to speed for Bolton.

    I think the linesman said something through the earpiece as the ref walked over. No need for the ref to go right up to the linesman and attract players attention when it can be done from a distance

    Calm down Ulysses, I hope you have slept well after all those expletives.
    But I do agree with your sentiments.

    We're one of 3 teams on a great run with the other 2 above us. For all the current top 3 to miss out and the current form teams to overtake them is a big ask.

    I’m getting greedy for these wins, I spend half an hour in a morning with the fixture list on my phone placed next to the tablet which has the league table on it, (if only we’d beaten Exeter). That’s enough of the ingratitude, an absolutely AMAZING job is being done on our team and feel if we could beat Bolton then the top teams will really start getting worried.

    There was a stat a couple of weeks back on cambridge. They were top, however if everyone else won their games in hand they would fall to 9th or something ridiculous
