Jones slams 'terrible' Bagan tackle
Nathan Jones is still furious Joel Bagan didn't get sent off for a tackle which injured Luton Town's James Bree.
Bree was taken off in the first half after colliding with the Bluebirds left-back before sending in a cross. The Hatters player has not been ruled out for the season, however, with Jones stating that they are assessing the injury on a daily basis.
And despite it being three days after the event, Jones is still enraged by the 20-year-old's tackle. He said: “It’s a terrible tackle, the boy should have gone, should have been sent off. How the linesman hasn’t seen it is an absolute mystery, an absolute mystery.
NATHAN JONES:
“There’s one in the first half where (Jordan) Hugill is so far offside, and he didn’t get flagged, so it’s mental, the game could have been different, totally, totally different. Bear in mind we’re at our absolute maximum, so Steve Morison can say what he wants, but we’ve taken six points over Easter, had big games and we didn’t have the luxury of treating the Forest game as just a warm up for the main event.
“Bree’s challenge was a poor, poor challenge, I’ve been a full back myself and I know what I’m doing when I’m leaving a bit on a winger or a full back. When he’s doing that, it’s a poor challenge. I’m not saying the boy meant it in any kind of way, but it should have been punished, it wasn’t and if it was punished it could have been a different game.”

Should have been sent off and banned for a season imo. In all seriousness, he doesn’t bring anything to the team, I know he’s young but surely people can tell he offers absolutely nothing. He’s been training for half a season with Giles, why hasn’t his crossing improved? Same old chipped cross to the back post which the keeper collects with ease, this is his cross, every time! Wasting our time playing players like him unfortunately.

Sounds like whining to me so best ignored.

It wasn't the greatest bit with the total piss taking from Luton with every bit of contact no wonder the ref thought there was nothing in it.
Their acting was so OTT I nearly called in a priest at one stage.
