Buckley at right back? Long afternoon ahead

That's an interesting sub.

With Armstrong up top we've always got a chance on the break. Holding out for 45 mins with 10 men is a long way out of our comfort zone though.

A loss today is okay considering recent results. Losing Lenihan for multiple games is a huge blow though. Hope we can appeal.

Pretty much every striker does it, Gallagher identical at Preston, get across and hope the defender is silly enough to commit the foul 

Lenihan is experienced enough to know better to be honest

Anyway Buckley on at right back is an interesting one and shows we still need to add depth 

Nothing alike - Gallagher had man beaten. Ran across him and the bloke tripped him. 

Toney just waited for any sort of contact and threw himself to the ground. It's a yellow card for diving.

[Butty]

Don’t give up hope yet lads, we’ve won there with 10 men before when Shane Duffy scored that memorable goal. I’d happily take a point though of course.

[CambridgeRover]

Looking at the replay that all stemmed from Lenihan's positioning. He is completely incapable of positioning himself well. Not only is he out of position compared to the rest of the defensive line he allows Toney to get between himself and the ball. Lenihan has fallen off this year and he is no longer someone to build around in the future, 

[JacknOry]

Lenihan thrown the game for us - we had the beating of them.

I was there. What a fecking horrible day. 
You never know...we could still steal this 2-1.

We’ve had the rub of the green a little of late so can’t moan too much but Toney goes down like a deck of cards there. Looked pretty 50/50 to me.

Exactly!

Think the 'ups and downs' tend to balance out over a season.

Yeah, you're bang-on with the positioning. It's made worse because he's not alive to it either, somehow.

We were absolutely all over them before that. 
I am more upset with Lenihan over the completely unnecessary booking on the touch line. Penalty is harsh, but he is completely brainless at times. 

Did he get a yellow? BBC just showing a red.

He's brainless all the time. 

[superniko]

Before the red card I thought Trybull, Johnson and Rothwell were playing excellent. What a shame and it’s absolutely killed the game for us. We say it every week but the quality of referees at this level is nothing short of shambolic. But we rode our luck with decisions vs Millwall so all teams are suffering the same poor decisions.

This Buckley right back thing is bizzare.  Absoloute liability

No real difference between playing JRC there. A ball player at FB who can't really defend.

if the brentford boss is clued he`ll have them directing everthing down that side,iv`e honestly never seen buckley tackle anyone

[JacknOry]

Now we find ourselves with no defenders for the next game. I was told on here we didn't need another CB.

[Miker]

Buckley is awful at RB. Don't understand the thinking there.

I actually think we can still win this. They've obviously been in the ascendancy since the goal, but we were still creating a few chances after the sending off. 

[ben_the_beast]

Thought Toney grabbed Lenihan as much as Lenihan grabbed Toney. Silly to grapple in the area but it was extremely soft. Referee couldn't wait to give it that's for sure.

Ayala is really going to have to Marshall the defense now. Feel for John Buckley in a right back. Gallagher is going to have to give him a hell of a lot of defensive support.

And then when he realises he is in trouble he tries to shove Toney over and in the process stumbles himself.

Didn’t even look a foul to me

Was thinking the same.

Strange he dig not put Davenport at right back.

And lost when he scored those others!

Decisions change matches.

IMO, Lenihan hasn't been 'at it' for some time - a liability who needs dropping.

Not sure Ayala is going to last the match - doesn't seem fully fit to me. 

[Kie_BRFC]

Absolutely deluded if you think that’s not a pen. We’d be baying for blood if that wasn’t given for us

To be fair with Wharton looking decent ordinarily 4 would be plenty. Extremely unfortunate with the absentees we have there

[Blue blood]

Going to be a long afternoon. We are very short I defence. Don't get Buckley at right back - crazy decision. Going to be a very long afternoon. 

[Bigdoggsteel]

Is a straight red a 3 game ban? Because that makes a huge difference. It certainly wasn't a straight red, whether you think it was a foul or not.

Seems to me the Ref got caught up in the occasion a bit. Was very card happy from the start
