And is that a problem? Is it lack of experience, or over enthusiasm? He hardly strikes me a central defender who kicks lumps out of people.
How many yellow cards has Dunk got now_

4 I think.

4 in 9 games you decide if it is a problem for Gus to address. A dead cert for one against Liverpool's speedy forwards if he plays or Becchio of Leeds. I would think he is odds on to miss either Leeds or Palace game.

How close is El-Abd to returning and which game will Painter miss?

Painter misses the liverpool game judging by posts on earlier threads.

We've got Tanno and Vincelot who can cover for Painter. Vincelot can also play CB if needed. I think El-Abd and Elphick are still another 4 weeks away yet.

I would rather that we played Cook when Dunk is suspended at least he is taller and is a centre back and then play Vincelot as the defensive midfielder alongside Bridcutt, rather than play somebody who can play centre back. On that assumption we could play Painter as centre back and Tarricco at left back when Dunk is out.

Good point, I had forgotten about Cook and he had a good preseason.

What about Raphael Rossi Branco is he eligible to play and is he any good?

A booking every other game sounds like a problem to me. Especially for a player whose game is based on footballing skills rather than brute force.
I haven't seen any of the bookings so I don't know if they were unlucky, or stupid or just late tackles. But from all reports Dunk has been one of our best players this season but if yellow cards continue at this rate he's going to miss a fair amount of games
So yes, I think it is a problem and one Gus needs to address. Which I'm sure he will.

I have bounced this in the hope that somebody can answer my 2 questions.

I thought that he played for the Ressies on Wednesday!

The two CBs were Steve Cook & Grant Hall. As far as I'm aware Branco isn't eligible yet as he hasn't got his Italian passport. It has all gone quiet on that issue.

The first yellow on Sharpe was late, but others have been inexperience more than anything and I felt he was unlucky yesterday.

I must have misread it then perhaps it was a Development squad game and I am getting mixed up.

OK that's what I thought might be the case. As he gets more experience then hopefully there will be less cards. Greer has a big part to play in this.

How many yellow Cards have the back 4 got now and how close to missing games are they? (im not too sure of the rules and how many cards constitute a ban?
Greer?
Caldy?
Painter (do his yellows get wiped off now he has a ban?)
Dunk is it 4 as quoted above?
