Boss biting his lip after loss

Image: Rosler: Unhappy with referee

Brentford boss Uwe Rosler was forced to bite his lip after his side let slip a two-goal lead to crash 3-2 at Huddersfield.

The Bees were in control after Gary Alexander had converted a 21st-minute penalty for Town skipper Peter Clarke's foul on Marcus Bean and then turned home a second at the near post eight minutes later. Town pulled one back through Alan Lee, who appeared to barge into Brentford goalkeeper Richard Lee before heading the ball over the goalline and after Jamie McCombe had equalised with a looping header, striker Jordna Rhodes curled home a brilliant winner for the home side. But Rosler said of Lee's opening goal: "I don't know what I can say without getting myself into trouble. The referee should have disallowed the goal. It completely changed the game. When pushed for his views Rosler said: "You're trying to get something out of me, but I have to be careful. I don't want to be on the sidelines next week. We're all judged as managers and players and referees should be judged too. What happened was not right." Rosler said defeat was hard to take after his side's performance and added: "It's very, very difficult to accept that defeat, especially because we played so well. For long spells we were running the show, but after the first goal we lost our heads for a while."
