SHRIMPERS skipper Adam Barrett was also disappointed by the displays of the match officials at Yeovil Town on Saturday.

The centre-back felt Sean Morrison’s red card changed the course of the game.

And, as the nearest player to the incident, he did not feel his latest defensive partner deserved to be dismissed.

“I was round there covering and I don’t think Sean was the last man to be honest,” said Barrett.

“That decision changed everything and it was just so frustrating because we just didn’t get anything from the officials all afternoon.

“We came here wanting to win but as soon as Sean got sent off it was all about hanging on and unfortunately we just couldn’t quite do that in the end.”

Dean Bowditch eventually converted in the 77th minute to secure a 1-0 victory for the home side.

And Barrett was infuriated that the referee had again contributed to his side losing.

“You have to be careful what you say these days but these strange decisions keep on going against us and I don’t know why,” fumed the defender.

“It’s been difficult enough for us this year and the decisions from referees have really cost us.”

The red card led to Blues again reshuffling their back four and will leave them with just two natural fit defenders as Morrison will now have to serve a one-match suspension.

But Barrett is looking forward to figuring alongside the youngster when he returns to action.

“Sean is obviously disappointed about what’s happened and the first thing we are going to have to do is pick his head up,” said Barrett.

“I’m looking forward to forging a good partnership with him and when he comes back in I’m sure he will do well for us.”
