Defeat on Tuesday night means that realistically we now have to win five or six of our last seven games to make the play-offs.

Firstly, though, we have to concentrate on beating Macclesfield on Saturday and we can take it from there – we can’t be getting ahead of ourselves.

We need to instil into our players that every game needs to played like a cup final.

We were devastated by the Burton result and don’t know where that performance came from. We had performed well at Bradford on the Saturday and we would have won had it not been for the referee.

That seemed to knock us back and we were flat. It was a result and performance that was hard to take, especially at this stage of the season.

We never seemed to have recovered from that decision at Bradford which left me gobsmacked.

How someone three yards out, standing in front of our keeper and attempting to flick the ball into the net, is not offside is crazy.

The linesman flagged but the referee changed the decision. Maybe after already disallowing two goals, he thought he would let one go but that’s not right. If it’s offside, it’s offside.

Maybe we will have to start telling our strikers to stand in front of their keeper.

We are awaiting feedback on that decision from the authorities because it just wasn’t right.

We could have been heading into Tuesday’s win off the back of a win and who knows what would have happened then. It certainly seemed to have knocked our confidence.

Everyone was down afterwards and although there was plenty of effort, we just didn’t show any quality. It looked like they were the team aiming for the play-offs and we were fighting against relegation. It was crazy.

We have been back in working hard, though, to put things right and we need to lift ourselves. We have a massive game coming up now and know they will be fighting and scrapping for their lives.

It was like a scene from the Wild West at Bradford on Tuesday and it was disappointing to see.

Earlier in the season, five players were sent-off after the game against Crawley in scenes that were just completely unacceptable. If fans did that in the stands, they would be locked up.

There would have been plenty of children watching as the two sets of players came together at the end and it brought the image of the game down.

Hopefully, the guilty parties will be heavily fined because we can’t have that in the game.
