I'm intrigued by this one. With a 2 game ban inevitable, it's obviously in our best interest he gets carded at Fulham to miss just the one league game.

I don't expect him to do this early in the game, risking a red. But in the right circumstances, would he tactically 'buy' a card in the last few minutes?

Don't think it makes much sense for Dunk to deliberately get booked that would leave him only 5 bookings away from a 3 match ban and potentially missing very important games towards the end of the season. We really need him to go a number of games without a booking

When do the cards get reset to zero?

Yes. Particular if the Cardiff game gets re-arranged in time for him to miss that and MK dons.

The idea sounds ridiculous, why is the 2-match ban inevitable?

Either way, all he'd need to do is score in the 90th minute and take his shirt off. Job done. And done. Or boot the ball away in frustration if a FK goes against us.

He would have to avoid being booked in the next 18 games.

Probably wont need to force the ref as it is Stuart Atwell whose record in13 games is 45 yellows and 3 red cards so he will probably get one anyway.

It's actually the 12th March, as EFL is different to the premier league [emoji5]

Is that a lot? Just over 3 yellows a game o average doesn't seem particularly high.

No and anyway do cup games count for league bookings?

Right you are, that's still 14 games to avoid a booking.

Not in comparison to many but out of 3 you would probably bet on Lewis being one of them with possibly Sidwell or Stephens for us.

So about 11 or 12 games to avoid the other 5 bookings.

its a difficult one really. I'd personally like to see him booked as its inevitable he'll get another yellow in the next 2 1/2 months. My worry would then be if he can go until the end of season without getting 5 more. I'd say take the 2 game ban now and make sure you don't go above 13 for the season Dunky.
