"Steve was elbowed (by Drewe Broughton) but I'm disappointed, he must deal with these things," said Smith, who could lose the Wales defender for four games. "He had to go, but their lad should have gone too. Chris Llewellyn has been off for something similar this year." To add to Smith's woes, midfielder Mark Jones faces a scan on Monday on the knee injury that made him miss Boston. The Wales international's knee gave way under him in the warm-up for the match. "We'll let it settle down then get him to a specialist," Wrexham physio Mel Pejic told the club's website.
"He had an operation on the knee earlier in the year so it's a worry." Smith said that his side were muscled out of the game by the relegation-threatened Pilgrims. "We were bullied early on and went a goal down, then Steve's sending off increased our problems," Smith told BBC Sport Wales. "If we kept it tight we still felt we had a chance, but their second goal - which I felt was at least five yards offside - spoilt that." Evans faces an automatic three-game ban for his sending off. But that could be increased to four matches as he was also sent off against Chester in August. That would keep him out of action until New Year's Day, although Ryan Valentine is back to fitness and able to cover. | ||
