Overthehills
Long term sufferer - Ever optimist
It seems that we are very much the good guys of the Championship this season... for those who didn't know, we are topping the fair play table so far.
For those who don't remember, the red card... Even that was debatable really. It was Gibbs-White against Millwall at home...the second yellow coming for that 'dive in the box.
I don't suppose we should be overly shocked by this. We are usually very much on the receiving end of sly kicks, elbows, dragging back and shithousery. If anything, the Wilder era created an honest bunch who probably don't go down enough..... that said, we have received more penalties than the majority of the league this season (4).
Thinking back to Friday night's game... I thought Birmingham played with the emphasis on roughing the good guys up a bit. Thought they might be in the top few teams based on that performance.....
Other teams that stand out this season are Millwall and Fulham. Kicked away at us, got away with a good few naughty ones...
I suppose its all about getting that blend right isn't it. We don't want get dragged into kick fests, but likewise we don't want to find ourselves bullied by teams either. Sure as hell didn't work on Friday.... captain fantastic was straight in there, standing up for his troops.
