So after today’s straight red we looking to be with our loan goalkeeper Ryan Schofield for three of our next six games unless Notts appeal the red card. 

After the game myself and Chris saw Ryan and he said that there was hardly any contact made and the player made the most of. 

So we are going to be without Ryan for the next three of the six remaining games will we miss him.?  

Not good but the only goal fitzsimons let in today wasn't his fault

He was unlucky as there player went down like he had been tackled by Jonah Lomu (load of young 'uns suddenly thinking who?), but I think the the fact that he admitted that there was contact will mean that there isn't any point in appealing.

The ball was long gone and he clearly caught their player - it was a foul, end of. He'd taken quite a heavy touch so he might not have scored anyway, but it was a split-second decision.

I've watched it several times and I can see why Les Bradd felt the player dived, he did! Yes, there was contact, however the player forces it and he goes down when he could have remained on his feet. It's harsh for Ryan Schofield but I feel Ross Fitzsimons did well coming on, Ross needs to keep focused and he should do okay.

There was contact, so a red card and a free kick to Northampton. The cobbler exaggerated the fall and so should have been booked.

Its not good news because relying on fitzsimons will affect our chances of survival

i still it was harsh, i have seen many keepers issued a yellow card for worse. northampton should have been down to 9 men themselves.

Whatever it is he will be back and able to fall into the role, unless Ross does better which will only benefit Notts. I just hope he doesn't go missing and fails to take this chance as it could redeem him.

Very unlucky I believe what Ryan said he’s not a goalkeeper who dives at players feet He is a very honest player and the player who fell is clearly as honest as the day is long players like the diving sod need to be banned. 

Ross did very well when he came on looked good confident well done Ross

I prefer Ryan Schofield if I am honest but I do feel Ross Fitzsimons should do better.
