'Really brave'
Scott Lindsey on his side's performance against BrightonI know we lost the game 4-0 but I thought we were really brave with the way we played with the ball
Lindsey apologises
There were two big flash points. The first was early doors which saw Jay Williams’ late, heavy challenge saw Matt O’Riley limp off. Replays show Williams was lucky not to be shown any kind of card.
Then right at the end Jack Roles was sent off for a similar challenge in Yasin Ayari.
