Important defender Dion Sanderson will not be available for Tuesday night’s crucial matchup between Birmingham City and Hull City under the lights at MKM Stadium.
The Blues lost 4-3 at St Andrew’s in an exciting match that saw referee James Bell send Sanderson off the field for a challenge on midfielder Will Smallbone just after the hour. Despite the setback, the Blues are now 20th in the Championship, one of four teams tied with Stoke City for the final relegation spot on 38 points.
“Everyone has an opinion on everything when it comes to football,” Venus remarked. “In my opinion, there was no red card given. It wasn’t, in my opinion. I don’t believe he attempted to harm him, I don’t believe there was any malice or intent.
“We could all sit here watching the television and give a lot of red cards if you sent guys off every time they put the studs over the ball. In my opinion, there wasn’t any muscular movement.
“He didn’t leave his leg in and crash into him. He attempted to make touch with the ball by turning his body in a certain way and lifting his foot. We disagree with a viewpoint that most likely holds less weight than that of the entire group.
