I gather, and this comes from a couple of sources, that Anton, on hearing he wasn't selected, went home.
Seeem to remember BBC Essex saying he was in the D.B.

Don't give the ref the chance to give decisions...I was in the South Upper so nowhere near enough to comment on the actual tackle/foul, but from the reaction of our players alone, I would suggest that Lenny was very hard done by
In response to a poor 1st half at least in the 2nd we tried and deserved a draw.Really can't see where the goals are going to come to turn this around.Selection suggests trouble in the dressing room .
Chris Phillips tweeted a photo of him and cox both in the stands watching so sources are talking nonsense

well it is the pre Christmas game official dance...What was you expecting them to be doing?....the conga???
As Lord Football says, the first half was dire. We (me and those around me) thought the line up was a bit strange, especially as Ranger's performance last Saturday was pretty grim. Anyway, conceding on 9 minutes was always going to make the first half difficult for us as you couldn't see where the goals were coming from. I might have imagined it, but I thought Lenny missed a gilt edged header in the first half. Had we scored from that, who knows? Anyway come half time Bradford deserved their lead.
The second half was completely different because we introduced that missing ingredient called total effort. We played some slick one touch football and Coker showed us just what we have been missing this season. Also the goal that we scored was a real team effort and a pleasure to watch. As the minutes ticked away I though we had done enough for a share of the points, but not to be I'm afraid. I don't know if it was a penalty as the West stand post in front of me obscured my view. Anyway the ref said it was and Lenny was off. Losing Lenny is going to be a big loss over the Christmas period and I did wonder whether we had just watched his last game for us. Time will tell.
I felt a little bit sorry for Phil today. He tried to shake things up and that didn't quite come off, he made some really attacking substitutions and they didn't really come off, because we lost, and then he got sent to the stands. No doubt the 'kill Phil' posts will abound for the remainder of the weekend, but it won't change anything as he will still be our manager into the New Year and beyond. I just hope we can spend a little bit of time discussing the football some of us have just watched as well as persistently telling me what a bad chap Phil is. For what it's worth I already know what your views are so there will be nothing new there.
Next home game - Charlton and an opportunity to put this disappointment behind us. The reasons for the absence of Coxy and Anton may be interesting to hear about.
