Lewis is currently on 9 yellow cards and is just one away from a 2 match ban. It would be good if he got that caution against Fulham as he would miss the MK Dons and Preston games and it would allow Goldson to get a match under his belt before the league game at Preston.

Here's an even better idea - don't get any more bookings!

You have to face that he won't go 10 games without a yellow, whenever it comes. I'm relaxed to see Conor matching the towering Duffy.
I'm not. Undoubtedly an extremely strong player once up to speed but looked very shaky in the cup game against Reading earlier in the season. Would be ideal if Dunk only missed one league fixture and not the likes of Sheff Wed and Newcastle upcoming.
As someone mentioned in another thread deliberately getting a booking early might make him reach 15 yellows earlier and miss crucial games later in the season.

I can just see the FA giving him an extended ban for fixing if he were to pick up an obvious booking against Fulham

He behaved pretty poorly at Cardiff away, so could be target of some away supporter taunting which might just push him over the edge. Chance for him to prove he is becoming a man and resist that urge that sometimes compels him to act like a petulant child.

Unlikely a few hundred Cardiff fans will either have the inclination or the vocal capacity to have much impact on Dunk's temperament. Which has improved hugely this season anyway.
There may well be a situation in the games where a tactical foul is needed. I would not take it as a mark on Dunks record if he were to get a yellow against Cardiff. It is not an indicater as to how temperament nor his quality as a defender.
Goldson will be fully aware that his chance is coming and he has been very patient when waiting for said chance.

No chance. They'd have to do it with the countless others who do the same thing (see Diego costa a few weeks ago so he only missed Bournemouth). If they want to pick up on 'cheats' they would loook at diving first.

I read this a lot, and though I agree that Goldson is a fantastic young player and and integral part of last season, he tends to need a game or two to get up to speed.
Those at the Reading cup game and away to Wigan saw he was quite suspect coming straight into the side. I'm not sure it would be a good thing for us to have him come straight in for Massive or Toon. He definitely needs that cup game at least.

Why are people wetting their knickers over this?
1. Goldson is a more than adequate replacement.
2. Every squad player who has come into the 1st XI has done fine.
3. Dunk will benefit from the rest.
Que sera sera.

I agree with you, in an ideal situation we would have Dunk playing each week and not to miss those important games. However, I am sure Goldson is chomping at the bit to play and hopefully when he does he gives Chris a headache.
