Leeds forward Patrick Bamford regrets the incident which led to a*two-game ban for deceiving a referee*in April's Championship draw against Aston Villa.
Bamford, 25, fell clutching his face, yet replays seemed to show no contact from Villa's Anwar El Ghazi and he was suspended for two games.
Now his concern is avoiding a reputation for "milking" decisions.
"Once I've put that in people's minds it's going to be hard to change that," the former Middlesbrough striker said.
"But it's something I've got to do over the next few years. Looking back, I regret it. I maintain he touched me but I milked it and made a stupid deal of it.
"I wouldn't do it again and it's something I have to learn from."
