One or three match ban?

Straight red is 3

Gonna miss him massively, if we’re gonna play 3 in midfield we simply don’t have a replacement. Neither Duke-McKenna or Dixon-Bonner are good enough.

Start with Willock or play 2 upfront (Dykes and Armstrong).

Thoughts?

2 up front always

Can't believe some have defended him on this lunge. It's a poor tackle but what makes it more inexcusable is the fact he's done it on the halfway line. I don't mind a bit of blood and guts but he was never going to make that challenge stretching in an area that was completely pointless. Let his teammates down!

2 up front always

I’d go with

Begovic

Smythe
Cook
Clarke-Salter
Fox
Paal

Field
Dozzell
Chair

Armstrong
Dykes

Sadly, generally Dozzell doesn't function alongside Field . He isn't a defensive midfielder in mind at all. We need to try Dixon-Bonner there instead.

The tackle was reckless and stupid , our midfield us really weak and we cold do without it , time for someone to step up.

[Abseits]

Absolutely daft tackle. Not really a tackle, just some ridiculous lunge in the vague direction of the ball. I think in the modern game players are used to staying on their feet in the box for fear of giving a penalty away and I suspect Jack doesn't dream of launching into a challenge like that in the box. But, players need to apply the same approach and logic across the whole pitch nowadays, not just the box, as it's gonna be a nailed on red. The peril of playing remaining minutes with 10-men and then serving a 3-match ban is actually worse than conceding a penalty I reckon.

[72bus]

Studs up yr always gonna get done in the modern game and rightly so.

Fair point, I’d go with Paal in midfield, bring JCS in at left centre back and Fox at left wing back which is his natural position
