MANSFIELD manager Billy McEwan has told Anthony Robinson to cool it after he picked up a second yellow card - which could have been a red - in Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Crawley Town.
Robinson caught Lewis Killeen in the face as they tussled for the ball and the big striker, making his full debut, escaped with a booking.
"It was right in front of the dug-outs and the refere could easily have been swayed by the shouts for a red card," said boss Billy McEwan.
"We were a bit short up front with Jason Lee and Aaron O'Connor having treatment all week so Anthony has waited patiently for his chance, came in and didn't do too badly to be fair.
"But he has to cut out the bookings. I do want the aggression. I don't want them going out playing like fairies, but I want the aggression to be controlled.
"Matt Somner had a bad record at his previous club and Alan O'Hare has picked up a couple of bookings this season.
"Players will wind them up if they think they can get them sent off which they might think is their best chance of beating us.
"I will look at every booking we get and, if I think it was deliberate then they will be fined."
