- Downing seething in defeat
Cheltenham Town boss Keith Downing was an angry man after seeing his side suffer a dramatic 2-1 defeat at Brighton and Hove Albion.
The Robins conceded twice in the final ten minutes, with Downing certain that the match officials had blundered in awarding Joel Lynch's winner.
He told the Western Daily Press: "I had to count to ten because I was absolutely fuming. The officials have cost us, it is as simple as that.
"I was walking off the pitch and Brighton players were apologising to me because they said the ball didn't cross the line.
"What do you do? What happens to these officials? All you ask is for the officials to make the right decisions and they just haven't done it, what more can I say.
"It puts us back under pressure again but we are a far better team then we were three months ago.
"We are back in a scrap, but I can't criticise my players because we have approached it in the right manner."
