Demitri_C Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 We seem to have already a significant amount of yellow cards this season. if I am not mistaken Ayew, McCormack and Elphick are all on 4 yellows therefore if any get banned vs Fulham they will miss the game at the Sty. Has our play really got that much more aggressive? When did we become such a dirty side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanwesty88 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I don't recall any dreadful challenges or aggression - apart from Grealish v Wolves. I just think there have been a lot of clumsy challenges and the way we have played has meant we have looked tired towards the end of games - perhaps we are collecting most of the yellows then? Would be interesting to know but I can't go and look at the stats right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been 14 games this season and we are yet to see a player banned for picking up too many yellows or being sent off. The only player to receive a ban is Grealish based on video evidence. I’d imagine that stacks up pretty well to most teams. I think we don’t get stuck in enough especially in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dirty' is open to debate but ... in the spirit of the question - It happened when we started buying the leaders and captains we so craved who get stuck in, instead of the softies that they've replaced. I'm all for it. Crack some heads. EDIT : I'm not sure how up-to-date or accurate this is. Current Fair Play table according to ESPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) Absolutely,not saying its a bad thing at all, but I am sure we must have one of the most yellow carded teams in the league.

spiezels Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Isn't it this new swearing at refs thing? Rather than actual fouls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NottingVilla Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 This goes hand in hand with the fitness thing and has been a theme of our season so far. Players getting away from us, bring then down, In this instance it has nothing to do with fight or spirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_avfc Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 We've had a horrible amount of yellow cards for dissent this year. Is really frustrating that we keep picking up unnecessary yellows for it but it's a sign we're up for the fight I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give you that I'd rather a yellow for knocking someone on their hole than for dissent. Dissent is a waste of a good yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Just been looking at the FA site which says 4 players are on 4 yellows: Elphick, McCormack, Jedinak and Ayew. Looks like the squad could be a bit depleted over the next few weeks unless they behave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Rudy likes playing SHA so no issue upfront. Be interesting to see the timings of the bookings....my instinct is we pick up a couple in the last few minutes of games due to the frustration of all the late goals but could be wrong on that. It's a strange one though....tell the refs we're a big team in this league! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
