“It was a tight call and if that’s the case you should leave it with the onfield decision.”

Rosenior: Dobson’s problem was harmful
Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior agreed with the choice to ship Dobson off after he dived in on Garnacho and caught the winger on the knee.

“It does not matter how small the margins are. We would have liked parts of luck at this time as a result of Wrexham have been that good when it comes to their efficiency.”
