Bloody terrible stats

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Do we win a trophy?

 

[kevtherev]

That is pretty bad reading TEN more yellows than the next worse team,,,,,that is bad.

 

[Mackenzie]

Dirtier than Dirty Leeds........wow.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Is it a fair reflection though? I see the stats on the BBC - we made 9 fouls but got 5 yellow cards. Southampton made 14 fouls and got 2 yellows.

Is it a case of we don't make many fouls, but when we do we really go for it!!? Or are we getting lots of silly yellows for backchat, time wasting etc.

To be worse than Dirty Leeds is quite an achievement, although they are miles ahead in the red card column.

 

[BLOCK F]

Abysmal record that Poyet should sort out.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

The two reds are nothing to do with being dirty as anyone who was at Leicester will tell you that Painter's second yellow/red was a travesty. The ball was kicked to his hand which was down by the side of his body.

 

[Barnham Seagull]

The players are stretching for tackles or over compensating for their lack of strength which is why we pick up so many yellows.

Gus and Tanno need to set an example with regard to disent etc

 

[perseus]

Our foul count is usually lower than the opposition. I think the exceptions were at Portsmouth and Cardiff (from memory).

 

[Aquilaugh]

Gus and Tanno need to set an example with regard to disent etc

I think they already have, a poor one.

Tanno was a dirty player and Gus always had plenty to say, you now have a dirty team.
