The FA have charged Town with failing to control their players during last week’s 7-1 defeat at Peterborough.

The club is accused of “failing to ensure its players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion with respect to surrounding the match officials” during Saturday’s game, in which both Lee Martin and Tommy Smith were sent off, the first time the Blues had ever had two players dismissed in the same game.

Martin’s red card for a tackle on Peterborough full-back Mark Little was debatable, while Smith was clearly well outside the penalty area when he and Posh striker Lee Tomlin collided, despite referee Graham Scott awarding a spotkick.

Town have until 4pm on Tuesday 30th August to respond to the charge.
