Lockyer got booked last night. Bookings still count even it the game was abandoned. This means he has received 5 yellows. Therefore he will now get a 1 match ban. He will miss Portsmouth on Saturday. Looks like Keary will get a chance Saturday unless Ward plays players out of position!
That rule is a joke. If we'd scored, that goal wouldn't have stood in the record books, so why should yellow cards if games are abandoned?
think same thing happened at the wycombe game last season that got abandoned, richards 2 goals got taken away meaning he lost his goal bonus and i think we had a player get suspended for reaching 5 yellows after collecting a yellow at wycombe. so game got abandoned, goals taken away, yellows still counted. also if we sign new players in jan before the new replay, they cannot play at the replay. harsh as well so we cant strengthen.
time to play 3 at the back and go for a win from kick off. wont happen though, not whilst wardys in charge.
