I'm being lazy but to save me looking it up does anyone know the current state of play regarding cumulated bookings in the squad and the associated cut off dates and suspensions? Worried about Jobe and the fullbacks in particular.
Five games to go for Jobe to pick up less than two yellows then. Three yellows for Hume. Isidor is on the same as Hume. Definitely not confident on Jobe avoiding suspension, he's always such a massive miss for us too.
Considering he missed 3 games earlier in the season, he's currently averaging a yellow roughly every 3.6 games, so he could do it, but he's walking a fine line.
I was wondering about this the other day. Is the 10 card limit always 2 game, or does it step up? Feels like a tough one to get a 2 game suspension if you didn't cop for the 1 game version earlier in the season. First offence versus second offence and all that.
Not sure how many he’s on currently but I’ll be backing Jobe to get booked tonight. 4/1 is a big price
If he was on 9 cards after the Cardiff game, I wonder if the club might pull him out of the starting eleven against Preston, so he would only miss 1 game instead of risking missing 2. Bit of a dilemma, I suppose, and it might depend on whether we are still in the mix for automatic promotion.
So, it’s 32 games or 37? Obviously hoping for the former as all of our at risk players ticked another booking closer tonight.

Still 4 games to go before the cut off, according to the Northern Echo https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/s...=a73edde4dcb3d8fcf40d517c2718393e&date=190225 ... Bellingham picked up his ninth yellow card of the season in Monday night's defeat at Leeds United. There are still four games to go before the suspension cut-off in the Championship, meaning Bellingham must negotiate the crucial fixtures against Hull, Sheffield Wednesday, Cardiff and Preston.... The teenager was sorely missed in the recent home draw with Watford when he was absent due to a minor ankle injury. "For sure, he's very important to us," said Le Bris. Bellingham is the only Sunderland player who is one yellow card away from a two-match ban, but Trai Hume and Wilson Isidor will both have to tread carefully. They were both booked at Leeds and are now just two cautions away from a suspension. Isidor has been carded three times in his last five games, but the striker has also scored four goals in that period and Le Bris is delighted with how he's playing. He said: "He's consistent. He scored and defended very properly with the team as well. "He's really well connected that with the players so it's easy to find a connection with his runs and he's always a threat for the defence." Luke O'Nien and Patrick Roberts are on seven yellow cards, while Chris Mepham, Chris Rigg and Dennis Cirkin are on six.
