Wilson's side have lost four and drawn two of their last six league games

Swindon Town manager Danny Wilson says the referee was responsible for his side's 3-2 defeat by Bournemouth on Tuesday night.

Wilson claimed Swindon had a perfectly good goal disallowed and the Cherries' third should never have stood.

"Very often we're critical of officials and possibly it's not been correct," he told BBC Wiltshire.

"I make sure I'm quite reserved in that manner. Today he's lost us the game - end of story."

Swindon had a Thomas Dossevi header disallowed and Wilson felt Robins goalkeeper Phil Smith was fouled in the lead up to Bournemouth's winner.

"I've just been to see the referee and he's oblivious to anything I'm talking about," he said.

This is my argument with the referee today. The little ones can be brushed under the carpet but they're big decisions and they've got to get them right Danny Wilson

"He doesn't think he's seen anything wrong with anything and I think it's abysmal."

Swindon's defeat consigns them to the League One relegation zone and means they have not won a match since beating Charlton on 3 January.

"It's really, really annoyed me to be quite honest with you because we've come and given a really good account of ourselves and come away with nothing," added Wilson

"These are big decisions and they [the referees] should see things like this.

"And this is my argument with the referee today. The little ones can be brushed under the carpet but they're big decisions and they've got to get them right."
