However Chris Hughton is not sure whether he deserved to be given his marching orders.[LNB]Caretaker boss Hughton will review the incident before deciding whether to contest Deadman's decision.[LNB]"It's one that we'll look at and scrutinise," said Hughton. "My first reaction was that I couldn't believe it.[LNB]"It seemed to be a skirmish that will happen in every game at some stage where you won't see a red card.[LNB]"I wouldn't rule out an appeal. The correct procedure is to have a good look at it and make sure we have got all our facts right."[LNB]
