Yes, I'm pretty sure that is the case, and Neil didn't want him booked today and to miss the game next week, which is far, far more important to us. Warnock is canny enough to know that we were going to lose today, but could well win next week's game, and he doesn't want our best player so far this season (just my opinion mind) banned for it.
I’m surprised Harry didn’t try harder to pick up a yellow against Fulham.
He may as well play the U23's against the so called top four teams
There's something to be said for giving some of the reserves some game time against the top teams, with a freedom to not worry and enjoy it.Quote:

I'm not suggesting put out all of the under 23s at Maine Road or anything, but giving 2-3 some game time can't hurt. If we have little chance of getting anything result wise, we can use the experience of it for more players.Quote:

He was injured playing for Ireland and aggravated it against Fulham last week, which is why he was substituted.
He told me he wanted to play.
Anyone else read the title of this post wrongly at first? I thought to myself.. "Bloody'ell, modern day footballers,eh! I bet it was a nightclub fracas". :hehe:
I think it was purely down to the 4 yellow cards. Which does my head in because he's sure to get one next week and miss the Brighton game. He should have tried to pick one up versus Fulham.
Yeah that’s what I think. He’s usually quite vocal with the ref. Wouldn’t have taken much to get a yellow.Quote:
