Calculus Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Came across this a while ago - a league table based on disciplinary record this season - and as you can see we are the nicest team in the Championship. Not that I'm advocating foul play, but do you think if our players put their foot in a bit more then we might actually not be in the mess we are? Just a thought. http://www.football-league.co.uk/page/ClubDiscipline/0,,10794~20127,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we be a little less nice for the rest of the season, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Porter Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Others have mentioned this a few times, I guess it comes down to not trying hard enough and getting stuck in, whilst I dont say ots right to fly in everywhere and get booked, it would be nice to see our lot at least trying to get a foot in even if at times its missed timed. Perhaps SOD well get them trying harder Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
croax Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Wouldn't read too much into that to be honest. Anyhow, considering how bad we are at defending set-plays I don't fancy any more balls being aimed into our box than is necessary.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiale Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 We are actually the nicest team in the whole football league - I commented on this in the Leicester match thread - their commentary team mentioned they would be in for a good afternoon with little to fear from our players who are statistacally the nicest team to play in the whole football league - being top of the fair play table. We seemed to stick to this until burns put in some tackles which the commentators were shocked by (player actually putting his foot in and going for a 50/50 ball). But - it's not the players fault - you can see they were told not to tackle and stand off players - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Fact is, tackling is a dying art. Look at the Kompany red card the other day. You just have a big risk of cards if you tackle and get it wrong in this day and age. http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/293065/Pablo-Zabaleta-laments-tackling-rules/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
