Bristol City are preparing to send footage back to the Football Association to highlight their inconsistencies following the decision to ban Mark Sykes for four games.
Nigel Pearson was highly critical of the FA after the City winger was handed a suspension following an incident that occurred towards the end of the 2-0 defeat at Swansea before the international break. Sykes was found guilty of violent conduct after kicking out at Ryan Manning after a cynical foul by Joel Piroe.
The incident was missed at the time but the FA delivered their verdict after reviewing the footage. Sykes contested the charge, but an independent regulatory commission upheld the suspension.
