ANGRY Phil Parkinson had no sympathy for Alan Sheehan for his red card at the end of City’s 2-1 loss to Swindon.

Raffaele Rossi-Branco clearly over-reacted to the dig in the ribs from the City defender, falling theatrically on the floor.

But Parkinson rounded on Sheehan’s lack of discipline – which rules him out for the next three games.

The City boss said: “It’s unacceptable that Alan should lose his discipline like that. We’ve had a poor result but that makes it a really bad day and he’ll be fined the maximum we can.”

It was a third Valley Parade defeat on the bounce in the league, the first time that has happened in Parkinson’s reign.

City were much better than the Yeovil game and led through a Louis Thompson own goal. But once again they failed to deal with corners and allowed Jonathan Obika to score twice.

Parkinson added: “We can’t keep conceding goals the way we have done. Four of the last five against us have been from set-piece situations – I can’t remember that happening here.”

City also lost Mark Yeates with a dislocated shoulder and Parkinson will seriously consider a move into the loan market with three away games now to come.
