I think it’s very telling highlighting LD’s maturity, composure and fewer last ditch tackles.

No, his Improved positioning and reading of the game, means he no longer has make stupid tackles.
Was hoping for a Veltman card vs City but now quite happy it didnt happen.
Cant say I'm too worried, the squad is deep. Only minor worry is Sanchez two yellows but if he gets another three for timewasting when a goal up in the dying minutes, it might just be worth it..

He delegates them to Veltman & Duffy!

I think also, the presence of Bissouma shielding together with an experienced and familiar set of fellow central defenders has helped.

He usually plays about 10 games on a 4 card knife edge.
Maybe he's worked out it would be easier just to play pretending he's got 4 bookings!

That has to be your most idiot post ever. Incredible! I applaud you.
May I suggest Veltman is one of our best defenders. And Big Bob Sanchez is an incredibly gifted young keeper.
No doubt you long for the return of the ‘style’ of Hoots and the ‘finesse’ of Duffy and BDB.

Its not my "most idiot" post ever, I guarantee it.
I wanted him to get a yellow vs City so that he would be suspended for the unwinable game against Liverpool and instead play against the winable upcoming games. Not the worst idea eh?
In the end the Liverpool game appeared to be more winable than I initially thought, so I was wrong and I'm happy he played.

He's got 2 in 10 games. The cut off for 5 yellows is after the completion of 19 games which is the Brentford game. If he continues his average then he might be walking that yellow card tight-rope for those last couple of matches.
Veltman and Duffy look dicey at the moment and a ban will be coming soon, providing they are tactical and don't both pick up that 5th yellow in the same game.
Ah, my apologies. I get it (now). I cannot honestly say I expected us to get a point at Anfield. We were brilliant [emoji2956].

Yes this is it to me.
I think it might be worth big Shane .... ahem ... "managing" when the suspension occurs to ensure it doesn't coincide with Veltman's suspension or doesn't limit our options with managing Webby or Tariq's recovery from injury.
Put it this way. If I were a Newcastle striker and that game was 90+ minutes old and Veltman hadn't yet been booked. I'd be going nowhere near Duffy!

i seem to recall a time when Dunk had been one booking away for 4 or 5 games, and we had a "relatively" easy game next followed by a run of tougher games . In the last couple of mins of the game he made the most ludicrous challenge on some poor player who had a "what the ****" look all over his face as there really was no need at all for any challenge, let alone one that took the player out., Dunk was duly carded, missed the next game but was available for the harder ones after
