JOHN Coleman will be appealing the red card given to winger Sean McConville in their dour goalless draw with Lincoln City.
McConville had only been on the pitch five minutes when he was sent off by referee Andy Haines for what he judged a high challenge on defender Lewis Montsma after 71 minutes.
Coleman was frustrated as McConville has been out with an Achilles injury for 10 months and was making his way back to fitness.
“I feel for Sean as he has battled back, done a lot of souls searching during those 10 months, then he gets his chance and has the rug pulled from under him,” said the Accrington manager.
“He has gone to control the ball, he has his eye on it, their lad has gone in with his head down and there has been no contact, their lad didn’t need treatment. If there was any contact it was minimal, it wasn’t studs up. We will be appealing.”
Lincoln boss Michael Appleton admitted: “I get that you are making an honest challenge, but the laws of the game say it’s a sending off.
“In my day that would probably have been a yellow card.”
