Jackett will now review the incident before his next move.
He said: ‘I was surprised when the red card came out.
‘I was expecting maybe a yellow but having said that I was a long way from it.
‘Lee Probert was a lot closer than me and made the call very quickly.
‘Looking at Jamie Allen’s sock when he came off, it quite clearly has caught him high. I wouldn’t think it was deliberate, it didn’t look deliberate.

‘It was a forward’s tackle and it’s a shame for Jamal.
‘He came on where we needed that width and could pin the left-back a little bit. He’s had a good pre-season and shown some promise.’
