Fulham have moved up to third place in the Not-So-Fair
Nationwide Fairplay League, with an average of 12.7 points per games and still
the highest number of yellow cards per foul ratio in the Division (see the final
column in the table below).
The variation in how Referees apply the rules of the game between Fulham and
the other Nationwide squads is starting to bite. Both Sean Davis and Fabrice
Fernandes collected their fifth yellow in the Watford game and therefore face
suspension for the Man Utd game. An unhappy situation for the two youngsters
and the club but one that will become more common as the season progresses
