A few of those near the top of the list would likely leave if we went down.
To me it shows they are still committed to the cause.
To repeat:
I'm not saying it is the case here, but it can be a sign that they are out of their depth.
For example Firpo got booked today and I'm sure some will criticise but for me he took one for the team as they player was away. Pleased he fouled the player they are not so quick without their legs.
Compare that to Struijk getting sent off against Liverpool, not even a foul was sent of due to the severity of the injury.
Same thing Grealish breaking Dallas leg yet he wasn't sent off which was the right decision in my view as it was two committed players coming together.
But Struijk red card shows on our record.
Quite a few of the bookings are for goal celebrations, silly way for racking up points but players at certain clubs get away with it.
Y phenomenon is present.
I don't know if X explains it in this case.
I merely note that X can be an explanation for Y.
Not sure what point you think I'm missing in giving your examples. Factor X can be accompanied by factors A, B, C and D, or W, M, K and F.
I repeat that if lots of players in a side are picking up a disciplinary record, it could be because they aren't ready to play at that level. But I only say it is one possible factor. I don't say it is a factor here, because I simply don't know. I merely say that, in general, it sometimes is (perhaps accompanied by other factors/reasons) and therefore it's worth considering, alongside other things.
My question is asking your opinion on why you feel our record is poor?
