I *think* Tshibola will only be banned for one match, as the red card was for a professional foul rather than serious foul play.
Yep, defintely just the one game, but as pointed out elsewhere Robbie has stated he’ll “miss a few games”. Time served on the naughty step by the looks of it.
The thing is though, we’ll undoubtedly go with Gilbey, Upson & Cisse away at Pompey, and I’d say there’ll be a strong temptation to bring Tshibola back in the following Tuesday or Saturday just for the fresh legs. Robbie’s rotated those four players as much as he can this season and I don’t see that changing. Other than dropping Chucks back into the centre of the pitch (why do that? You want him where he’s causing most damage, surely?), we’re actually a central midfielder light in terms of the squad, given that we’re playing three most weeks.
