Josh Maja converted the penalty to put his side 2-0 up after George Dobson had earlier diverted Isaac Price’s drilled free-kick into his own net.<\/p>\n

In addition to his concerns around the spot-kick against James Morrison’s side, Parkinson also raised concerns over the treatment of striker Sam Smith.<\/p>\n

Parkinson added: “The second goal is a huge lift for them. You need help from referees and when you get a referee who’s refereed at the top level, you expect better. <\/p>\n

“I have briefly (spoken to the referee after the game) and the other thing I’m getting very frustrated with is the treatment Sam Smith’s been getting. <\/p>\n

“Watford away, the amount times he got hauled to the floor, blocked and body-checked. I sent all the incidents to the head of the referees and he agreed with me on nearly every one. <\/p>\n

“We then go to Sheffield United and [Japhet] Tanganga pulls him down which is a straight red card and the free-kick gets given against Smudge (Smith).<\/p>\n

“Today, there’s a slide wall pass which is putting him clean through and [Nat] Phillips just tugs him. It’s only slight contact, but it’s a red card and I feel Smudge needs more protection.<\/p>\n

“I’m going to send all those instances together and ask the referees over the next two days to give me some answers because he’s had some bad decisions against him, Smudge.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
