Swindon Town will be without James Ball for the rest of the regular season after they opted against appealing his red card against Colchester United.
Ball was sent off midway through the first half on Friday night (April 11), following a mis-timed tackle on Finley Barbrook.
While Ian Holloway objected to referee Paul Howard’s decision, he and the rest of the coaching staff believed they stood little chance of being successful in overturning the onfield action.
Ball will therefore serve a three-match ban, starting with the visit of Accrington Stanley to the County Ground on Saturday (April 18).
