Do we have a problem with discipline?

Sending off in a crucial is worse than in a game already won with no obvious replacement player some spendings off are more questionable but others look like a bit of thought may have helped. Retaliation after narrowly escaping a potential career ending tackle is also somewhat more understandable than most. Deliberate provocation leading to retaliation often goes unpunished.

There is a real discrepancy between the amount of cards we've got and our overall discipline as a side.
Looking at it in terms of raw figures, we top the table for cards received, but are only the 13th most "dirty" team in terms of how many fouls we've made over the season. Applying the 1 point for yellow, 5 points for red system that Transfermarkt uses, but substituting in accurate numbers, the number of fouls each team committed per disciplinary point is as follows:

The higher the number of FpP, the more fouls a team have been allowed to make before they get booked. We have, by some way, the lowest number of fouls allowed per booking in the league.

Doesn’t bode well for us watching the ref’s performance this afternoon!

Let's put it this way. If the topic's question would be prosecution, I wouldn't want to defend it.

I see this more as culture of our team, most likely untreated cases of stupidity (we have lot's to choose from) and one part of unprofessionality.

Serious stuff and hard to change without professional help from outside.

We have a problem playing football. No team could survive after giving the ball away as many times as Derby do.

 

Harsh attempt at being funny. We still finished above 14 other teams and, until the final three games had an outside chance of the play offs.
