Just after the restart the disaster struck for the Tanners when Danny Piwinski was adjudged to of handled the ball on the line by referee Anthony Lewis who awarded the home side a penalty and gave Piwinski a straight red card.

“I did put my arms up but I did not touch the ball, even their players told the referee but he still sent me off.”

As the Tanners tried to get back into the game they left gaps but Rangers were unable to take their chances. Daniel Atkinson was introduced adding a spark and pace the Hodgsons front line offering support to an isolated Adam Foster.

Steve Grantham, The Silver Fox, pulled on the black and amber shirt again as he made an emotional return after receiving a call up from new Hodgsons boss Rob Lever. As Grantham looked to roll back the years he showed he still had the touch but found the pace of the game hard going.

It was all in vain, with no more options on the bench assistant coach Andy Lane resulted to vocal motivation branding Scott-Jon Tyler a ‘Big Sausage’ as he urged the big man to go forward.
