Where Portsmouth surprisingly rank in Championship’s ‘dirtiest’ sides with Derby County, West Ham & Co

Championship’s dirtiest sides - where Pompey rank after opening 15 matches of the season.

Pompey have been criticised for being ‘really physical’ and ‘too extreme’ by rivals this season as battle for position in and around the play-offs.

Pompey have been involved in a number of high-temp contests this term, with red cards shown during their games against Southampton (Cam Bragg) and Sheffield United (Hamza Choudhury).

While no member of Mousinho’s squad have been dismissed this season, Ebou Adams will, though, be forced to sit out their trip to Bolton Wanderers on November 21 after being shown his fifth yellow card of the campaign against Stoke City last time out.

EFL rules state any player who is booked five times before and on game-week 19 will be handed a one-match ban.

But given comments from the Blues’ Championship rivals, are they ‘too physical’?

ESPN have created a league table based on disciplinary, with a yellow card valued at one point while a red card is worth three.

Here’s where Mousinho’s men rank using that points system.
