Unbelievably he's been beaten to 15 bookings!
Less surprising is that it was by Matt Crooks.
Hamer just edges him in bookings per minute though 👊🏻
Sam Field made a sterling effort in vastly fewer minutes!
This narrative made little sense last year & even less so now. He's played more games in the Championship alone than he ever played at U23 level.
He was also playing in League 2 at 20 years old.
p.s. This thread is brilliant to read back btw 😂
It was as clear a red card as you'll see, left the floor tackled with both feet. Ref had the red card out before Howe or anyone else could even ask for it.
Bigi may not have been a nasty player but he did have a habit for mistimed tackles like that.

He has been doing it all season. His numbers for winning the ball back & progressing it are exceptional, literally among the best in the league. I've always maintained people just didn't understand the type of player he is.
