Everyone still in agreement that this was a good idea, then?

Yes.

Not seen such Bravery!
Probably yes, but we'll never know.
At least he plays vs Massive.

Preston being excellent in the air wasn't a secret.

Well it's done now. I'd rather he only missed one league game than two. If we bounce back and beat Wednesday on Friday I'd still take it.

Yes, on balance.
If you insinuating that it was a bad idea, it is almost certain that he would have picked up one at a later stage, and then missed TWO league matches. And who knows whether his presence today would have made any difference?

In a strange way it's a good time to have a rest in a quiet ish January,we need to win our next two games

Tactically it was good planning.
As already said we will never know if he would have made a difference.
So on balance, yes it was worth him being suspended.

He missed one league games instead of two. So yes, it was the right decision.

Can someone give a clear full breakdown of how the suspension and number of cards rules work?
I thought that a yellow against Fulham only adds to his tally, and whilst freeing him up for the Massive game, only adds to the chances of yet another suspension at the business end of the season. But there's the clean slate thing which I'm not entirely sure of, so any details of that would be appreciated.

We have at least one more cup game. It's not guaranteed he would have missed two league games.

We hadn't played the cup game prior to fulham. It wasn't guaranteed there would be another cup game.

For every 5 yellow cards you get a one match suspension. If you have a previous suspension, an extra game gets added on. 5 yellows = 1 match ban, a further five yellows (i.e. 10 yellows in total) = 1 match ban for 5 further yellow cards + 1 match ban because of previous suspension.
If you had 4 or fewer yellow cards on November 30th, they were wiped out and the card count started at zero. If you had five or more, they were remembered.
Dunk had already had a suspension for 5 yellows prior to November 30th, so his cards were remembered. Fulham saw his tenth yellow card, so he got a two match suspension.

What is the cut off date for the 15th yellow card and presumably a 3 match ban?
But we're asking now, with the knowledge of how things have panned out so far. We know we comfortably beat the team from a division below us, which is hardly a surprise and was probably expected by most.
