Cheltenham Town manager Wade Elliott made clear his disappointment with the officiating in his side's defeat at Bristol Rovers on New Year's Day, claiming Josh Coburn was "six yards offside" for the Gas' second goal.
Aaron Collins had put Joey Barton's side ahead in the 25th minute before turning provider shortly after to set up Coburn for Rovers' second goal, which ultimately proved decisive with Alfie May's second-half strike the only reply the Robins could muster in a 2-1 loss at the Mem.
But Elliott believes his team were hard done by in more ways than one, saying their performance deserved more and the officials made a game-changing mistake. Replays of Rovers' second goal show it was a close call, with a fair question of offside, but it is impossible to be certain without a down-the-line angle.
