We’re just over a month away until Christmas, but if you’re thinking about giving any cards, don’t send them to some of these League One players!
The EFL has a disciplinary rule that if you pick up five yellow cards in the first 19 games of the season then you will serve a one-match ban. We’ve already seen Kenny Dougall and Olly Casey missing through suspension in recent weeks. Dougall fell foul of the rule, and missed out through five bookings, whereas Casey was red carded against Peterborough United and was banned for three games across all competitions.
Blackpool have this match against Pompey to get through, and one Blackpool player is on one yellow card, and so should he be booked this weekend he’ll miss next Tuesday’s match against Northampton Town.
Bookings to date: 4. Games played in all competitions: 16.
Callum Connolly, Matthew Pennington and club captain Ollie Norburn are all on three yellow cards, but fortunately for them they can’t face a one-game ban now. If they get ten before the 38 game mark however, they’ll be out for two matches.
Flick through to see which Blackpool player and his League One counterparts are at risk of a ban. All statistics from TransferMarkt.
