Mark Robins stated following the final whistle that he will be without Ben Sheaf for a period of six to eight weeks.
Sheaf had a hamstring injury during the week against Bristol City, and the outcome suggests the midfield player may be sidelined for the next two months.

An update regarding Ben Sheaf…
Ben will miss six to eight weeks of work. Although unfortunate, things are as they are.
Considering the game…
“You risk losing if you are sent off against any squad. We have the sending off and we are reduced to ten men, but we had our two greatest chances of the game in between.
“We played excellent football both before and after we were reduced to 10 men, one from Haji Wright and the other from Kasey Palmer.
“In our opinion, they worked extremely hard for nothing in the end, so I feel terrible for them.
“There are advantages there, and you’ll gain some
“I’m not happy with how things turned out today; we definitely didn’t deserve to lose.”
The beginning of the second part…
“In my opinion, we performed better in the second half than the first. In the first half, we made some odd choices that encouraged them, like pressing when we shouldn’t have and backing off when we needed to be involved.
“They have excellent players, and Josh Sargent is one of them. If you give him a half-yard or a sniff at goal, it usually ends up in the net. It’s never an easy game here.
“They have talented players and runners from midfield, as you would expect, but we managed to manage a score of 0-0 at halftime, at times showing them too much respect.”
“We were ahead going into the second half, and Callum’s finish was excellent. The move for the goal was also brilliant.”
Possibilities to increase the lead
“Haji does everything perfectly; he just doesn’t hit it hard enough, allowing their goalkeeper to have a chance to save it by hitting his legs.”
“If that’s them, it’s in the distant corner; we simply overlooked it; there’s no fault; that’s just the way things are.
“Kasey’s play is incredible; he passes the ball really well for his first touch and finds himself in a great position to score, but the ‘keeper saves it.”
The suspension of Liam Kitching
Liam will miss two days of work. For preventing a goal from being scored, the player will miss one game, and for receiving a red card earlier in the season, they will miss an additional game.
