The Blues finished the curtailed season 11th in the third tier table, with points-per-game seeing them slip a place from 10th, where they sat at the time of the stoppage due to the coronavirus pandemic.

But they were top of one table – the disciplinary one.

That’s because the Blues picked up 340 disciplinary points, made up of 74 yellow cards and four reds from their 36 League One games.

Four points are given for each yellow card, 10 for a red card received for picking up two yellows and 12 for red cards awarded for violent conduct.

Town’s red cards came courtesy of James Wilson (Fleetwood a), Armando Dobra (Accrington Stanley a) Luke Chambers (Portsmouth a), Kayden Jackson (Oxford h).
