Stagsnet report (PLUS clarification on suspensions)

[MTFCMusings]

clarification on suspensions:

Sweeney has five league bookings and is suspended tomorrow.

Benning has four league bookings (Yeovil, Macclesfield, Northampton, MK Dons). He was also booked in Carabao cup and Checkatrade trophy. Bookings in Carabao cup and Checkatrade trophy only count towards that competition this season.
So Benning is one game away from suspension. We cannot explain why this is not included on thefa.com website, but it is definitely true.

Oh dear, that means CJ out of position again

With Sweeney suspended and White still injured (I assume?), it's likely Benning may play centre half as he did against WBA. The only other options are Gibbens or a change of formation. This obviously opens up LWB for CJ, which is obviously still out of position but as close as it gets within our system. Atkinson would then play RWB. If Khan is injured, there is also the option of CJ playing in his role, Gibbens playing centre back and Atko and Benning wing backs. Seems more likely though that Butcher will play.

Butcher, noooooooooo

My thoughts exactly.

Can someone tell me why you think C J is out of position?

Oh and list your coaching qualifications

Quite simply. He's never in his life played as a right wing back before this season.

If you ask the question you not seen him much. And no I do not hold coaching cert. At Cambridge was embarrassing to watch, he cannot defend. His strength is running at defenders.

In regards to the suspension issue.

Remember yellow cards are competition specific now.

5 yellow cards in the league means 1 league game suspension. Each Cup competition has it's own disciplinary now. Most Cup competitions are 1 Cup game ban for 2 yellow cards

Benning has 4 yellows now in the league and should be 1 away from suspension. The other 2 are in Cup games and they are now separate.

Check ti's page out and read the bit about cut off dates it mentions there that yellows are competition specific now.

On 84 minutes, Aneke fouled Bishop. He had to be booked surely after he should have been booked on three previous occasions? He wasn’t. Though the OPTA stats and MK Dons twitter feed say Aneke was booked on this occasion. I didn’t think he was and have double checked on the video. Aneke was immediately substituted.

Not sure about Aneke fouling Bishop, that's probably what the ref saw and why he gave it. What I saw was Matty Preston absolutely cleaning Aneke out, in what looked like a revenge challenge and possibly the strongest challenge I've seen at FM in a long time. It was a joy to watch.
