It's very rare for refs to give yellows in the first ten minutes unless it is extremely blatant. The players know this & feel they can get away with one early. It's about time that refs call it the same at the beginning, middle & end of the game.
Absolutely amazing decision !!
Firing the manager when the team is fourth is just crazy. It really could backfire on them and they miss the playoffs completely.
They deserve what they get from here on in.
I agree, it's a massive transformation to go from the Premier to the Championship and the longer spent in the Championship the tougher it gets. Both Stoke & Swansea are struggling to adapt this season and could be in trouble.
I also thought that Fulham would adapt to the Premier League fairly quickly and finish 10 to 14th but they could not adapt defensively. I think Leeds & Norwich can make it due to the quality of their coaching and the fact that they can play more than one style.
Watford & Bournemouth fully deserve to be there based on performance.
