VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM
Forest Green Rovers manager Dave Hockaday told BBC Gloucestershire:
"There were a few of the boys not quite at it mentally tonight.
"I'm disappointed we didn't get something in the second half as we deserved it but the first half we shot ourselves in the foot.
"It was a poor challenge (by Chris Todd) and it was a red card. He's let everybody down.
"You can't make those challenges in the modern game and as soon as he did it we thought 'red'."
