Ahh Diddums!
One even suggests Stephens should have seen Red and Fletcher a Yellow! Jeez!

To be fair, had the events of that game been reversed I would probably not be in a particularly rational state of mind.
Stephens should have been booked for sure and Fletcher being a seasoned pro should have known better. I don't get why players motion their heads towards each other, it's almost a guaranteed sending off when they do.
Banter aside, Wednesday are a good side so i'm not sure why their fans are so critical of themselves, other than losing their heads at the end. They needed to capitalise on the man advantage in the 10-15 mins after the sending off but they allowed us to reorganise. When Sidwell came on and moved us up the pitch and Solly provided another dangerous outball we actually looked more dangerous with 10. That said, had Forestieri put the penalty away there would have been only one outcome and they'd all think very differently. Some real quality players in their side and I can't see how they won't finish at the very least in the top 6. All the more reason i'm glad we've collected our 6 points and are shot of them
