Chatham defender John Wilfort faces lengthy ban after double dismissal

Alex O'Brien's frustration at
Chatham’s inconsistent form in Ryman League Division 1
South has probably increased after another away defeat
at Burgess Hill on Tuesday.
Having voiced his concerns about
their "win one, lose one" habit, they travelled home from West
Sussex pointless after losing 2-1, despite being gifted a
second-minute own goal by home defender Justin Gregory.
To make matters worse
for O’Brien, pictured, Chatham finished with 10 men
after John Wilfort was sent-off for the second time in three
games.
The defender, dismissed at
Leatherhead last month, had already been booked before being shown
a straight red card following an off the ball incident involving
home skipper Leo Day. It sparked a mass brawl, with Hill’s Lloyd
Cotton also sent-off and Chatham keeper Dean Ruddy booked.
O’Brien added: "I’m a bit
annoyed and disappointed because I think John overstepped the
mark.
"Football is a passionate game but
these days you can’t raise your hands, scream and shout or stamp
your feet."
Wilfort starts a three-match
ban against Dulwich tomorrow (Saturday) and is
facing a lengthy lay off, which O’Brien
believes could be seven-matches.
O’Brien also revealed one
player will be leaving following the latest budget cut, but
won’t name him until all the details have been sorted out.
Defender Richard Avery (back)
is doubtful to face Dulwich.
