Thanks again. I disagree with being unable to award man of the match and having to resort to a shortlist. I think it should be awarded to Bishop for his all-round solid performance and point-preserving saves. He's shaping up to be our best goalkeeper for some time (I hope that doesn't tempt fate!). He must be giving the defenders some urgently-needed confidence.
Looking at the video of the Sinclair incident, the linesman was unsighted so wouldn't have seen the full incident - I don't think that he was aware that Sinclair was being dragged by the leg, that was masked by the Orient defender, and I'm not sure that Ty made contact. Although the flailing leg would certainly justify a yellow card, the dragging might have been regarded as mitigating, particularly taking into account the exaggerated injury supposedly suffered by the defender.
