Town manager Jim Magilton says Town intend to appeal the red card given to Alex Bruce during last nights win against Bristol City. Bruce shown a straight red last night for a tackle on Bristol City striker Nicky Maynard, but Town hope video evidence will get The FA to change their mind and over turn the red card. How ever if The FA feel the appeal is a waste of time, Bruce could miss 5 games.

Town manager Jim Magilton: "The boy is a wholehearted player and having watched his challenge on Nicky Maynard again on video, we felt there was good enough reason to launch an appeal over the red card.

"It's not a two footed challenge and he hasn't gone over the ball. The other lad has gone to ground early and Alex's momentum has taken him into the player.

"We will have to wait and see how the judging panel view it."

Bruce's appeal will be heard tomorrow lunch time.
