Just looked up to see if we have any players close to suspension and Veltman and Duffy have 4 bookings. Surprising to see Dunk no bookings in 10 games. Is he going soft
No, his Improved positioning and reading of the game, means he no longer has make stupid tackles.
I think also, the presence of Bissouma shielding together with an experienced and familiar set of fellow central defenders has helped.No, his Improved positioning and reading of the game, means he no longer has make stupid tackles.
Was hoping for a Veltman card vs City but now quite happy it didnt happen.
Cant say I'm too worried, the squad is deep. Only minor worry is Sanchez two yellows but if he gets another three for timewasting when a goal up in the dying minutes, it might just be worth it..
That has to be your most idiot post ever. Incredible! I applaud you.
May I suggest Veltman is one of our best defenders. And Big Bob Sanchez is an incredibly gifted young keeper.
No doubt you long for the return of the ‘style’ of Hoots and the ‘finesse’ of Duffy and BDB.

Its not my "most idiot" post ever, I guarantee it.
I wanted him to get a yellow vs City so that he would be suspended for the unwinable game against Liverpool and instead play against the winable upcoming games. Not the worst idea eh?
In the end the Liverpool game appeared to be more winable than I initially thought, so I was wrong and I'm happy he played.
He's got 2 in 10 games. The cut off for 5 yellows is after the completion of 19 games which is the Brentford game. If he continues his average then he might be walking that yellow card tight-rope for those last couple of matches.
Veltman and Duffy look dicey at the moment and a ban will be coming soon, providing they are tactical and don't both pick up that 5th yellow in the same game.
Yes this is it to me.
I think it might be worth big Shane .... ahem ... "managing" when the suspension occurs to ensure it doesn't coincide with Veltman's suspension or doesn't limit our options with managing Webby or Tariq's recovery from injury.
Put it this way. If I were a Newcastle striker and that game was 90+ minutes old and Veltman hadn't yet been booked. I'd be going nowhere near Duffy!
