The fact he's never got 2 yellows in one game suggests he CAN consciously tone his play down at bit. Which is what Pardew might have to suggest to him.
There's got to be a happy medium available here. We obviously can't have him reluctant to make challenges.
Reading looking for the long ball literally all the time. Their strikers aren't helping this tactic by completely neglecting to acknowledge the offside rule.
Dreadful football.
Someone who can strike a football properly and provide a bit of cover for the defence will do me. As a squad player he's a million miles better than Taylor, Smith and Guthrie
