REDS defender Rob Kozluk is adamant the ball struck his ribs at Coventry City on Tuesday night.

Rob told BBC Radio Sheffield: "The ball came across and I could see that Eastwood was going to stick it in. It hit me in the ribs - I can see a ball mark n my ribs.

"I went over to the linesman and saw him signalling for a penalty. I showed him where the ball had hit my ribs. The referee asked the linesman whether it was a penalty - he said 'I think so'. I told him that it is our livelihoods at stake from a decision like that.

"You can clearly see the ball mark on my ribs. We are all distraught about it.

"I have never been as distraught after a game in my life. We were a minute away from a four point gap on Norwich but we have to pick ourselves up and go out and beat Wolves. I hope the referee looks back at that decision because that cost us".
