Bratt awarded the crucial penalty at the start of the second half and sent off defender Paul Huntington for hauling back Lee Barnard in the area, but not before first appearing to keep his hands behind his back. It was a nod from his assistant that saw him point to the spot and get his red card out. Ablett said: "The referee had his hands behind his back at first so I don't understand why he changed his mind. He was affected by the linesman with that one. "I'm disappointed with the decision, but there you go. There were a lot of poor decisions from the officials out there." He added: "Ultimately, though, we didn't show enough quality at either end of the pitch. Passes were going astray and there were too many poor decisions. We got what we deserved. We didn't play nearly as well as we know we can."
