Having just watched the highlights, I'd say;
Wheater - tbh I think Tomlinson fouled him first, handball possibly should of been a red, but given they probably should of had a freekick before the handball doesn't seem a massive injustice.
O'Sullivan - the first yellow is incredibly soft, and he can feel hard done by there. That said stupid to get yourself a second one in that manner. Whilst it is an inexplicably crazy thing to have done, I do think some comments have been over the top. He hasn't had a discipline issue previously, I would understand a bit more vitriol if it was Dawson, given his history. I'd allow him this mistake, key is to learn from it.
Hall - I don't actually think he was wrong to come out for their goal. For me the two mistakes were, the area he played the ball into having got there, and the fact that he seemed to take too long to get back into position - when the ball comes back in he is still on the edge of the 18 and still looking to come forward even though Nugent and Digie are there, he should have been backpedalling far sooner. That said it looks like there were a couple of instances of him rushing out, hopefully just a first game blip rather than a sign of things to come.
Not a great result, but seemed to do alright when we had XI, first game of the season, and one of our furthest away days. Lets see where we are after 5-6 games. After all we won 4 nil against York last year and see how that turned out. They went up and we just about survived.
