CHARLTON'S entire attitude to reserve-team football could change following a red card shown to Kevin Lisbie.

The reigning Barclays Premier Reserve League (South) champions and current leaders were reduced to 10 men against Leicester on January 24 when the striker reacted to an awful challenge by Foxes midfielder Alan Sheehan.

After an appeal was rejected on Wednesday last week Lisbie - just recovering from a hamstring injury - will now be suspended for three senior games, and manager Alan Curbishley feels an injustice has been done.

"I'm really disappointed with it all because the boy has played 14 games in 14 months," he said. "It was a really bad tackle and I understand that he's reacted - but the punishment doesn't fit the crime."
