Totting up 5 or 10 yellows, continues into playoffs?

Because of the style and manner of his play, it seems inevitable that Liam will get 3 more yellow cards between now and Wembley if we make it, especially if we draw Forest and the horrible little sweaty will complain about him to the ref. How can Gus protect him short of resting him when we have made the play offs.

So he has picked up 12 all season, but now you think he's going to get 3 in 5 games...

I'm pretty sure the averages are against you there BG.

Not impossible, but i find it very unlikely this will happen.

It may not be but it seems that he has been getting more yellow cards fairly recently as refs keep an eye on him. He has got approx 1 in every 3 matches so it is quite possible he will get his last one in a semi final. In a hypothetical case if he got 1 v Peterborugh and we won and then another against Blackpool when we were winning would it pay him to get a 2nd against Blackpool and just miss Leeds away as he would be sent off and miss 1 game but also have 15 yellow cards so which ban comes into operation.

He's had 1 booking in his last 7 appearances, against Charlton. Before that it was Cardiff away on 19th Feb. It may seem to you that he is picking up more bookings recently, but that is not the case.

When was his last booking?

Liam Bridcutt is still a slight worry. He's on 12. 3 more in the last 4, and he'd miss the play-offs...

So do the play off games count or does it run out / stop after the Wolves game?
