Howe questions Bentley dismissal
Eddie Howe was left to bemoan an "extremely harsh" dismissal as Burnley lost 2-0 to promotion-chasing Nottingham Forest.
Marvin Bentley saw red for a challenge on Luke Chambers in the 32nd minute before substitute David McGoldrick struck a second-half brace.
Burnley's play-off hopes now look slim, but Howe questioned the decision to send Bentley off. He said: "I've only seen it at live speed but I thought it was extremely, extremely harsh - I didn't even think it was a yellow, let alone a red.
"He's gone in one-footed, his feet haven't left the floor, that was my view of it anyway but I stand to be corrected if I see it again."
The Clarets boss felt his side could have gained something from the game if they had not been numerically disadvantaged.
"I thought, especially with 11, we were excellent. We controlled the game, passed the ball very well," he said. "It's easy to say but if we'd have kept 11 on the pitch, I'd like to think we'd have eventually worn Forest down."
