Lewis Travis and Todd Cantwell have four more matches to escape a one-match ban for yellow cards.

Blackburn Rovers missed Tyrhys Dolan at Cardiff City as he became the first player to hit the five-game threshold this season. That triggered an automatic suspension with the cut-off not until after matchday 19.

That is away at Hull City on December 7, for Rovers. Travis and Cantwell both sit on four cards apiece and therefore must avoid bookings against Portsmouth, Middlesbrough, Leeds United and Hull.

Hayden Carter is also at the same mark but his knee injury means he will not be back until January. Travis, in particular, has done remarkably well to avoid getting banned having collected four cards in the first seven Championship matches.

Sondre Tronstad is the only Rovers man with three cards and so should be fine. The likes of Dom Hyam, Joe Rankin-Costello, Aynsley Pears, Ryan Hedges, Callum Brittain and John Buckley have been carded twice.

The next cut-off for 10 yellow cards is after matchday 37. So for Dolan, he must avoid five more cards in the next 22 games or he'll be banned for two matches. After that, it is 15 before the season ends which would trigger a three-game suspension.

In the Championship, there are 34 players one yellow away from a ban. Ben Whiteman leads the list with seven cards so far.
