Harsh, but at least he can really relax over Xmas - hopefully come back all guns blazing.

Thats not too bad.  He wil be back for the QPR game which is good.  And yeah, Nelson to carry on in his place, I don''t like Nelson but him and Askou are about the same at Championship level and Nelson played last week so he carries on.  I would want Barnett to come straight back in though.

To be honsest I''m quite relieved that it''s only 2 matches. When it happened all sorts of figures ran through my mind 4 -6 or even 8.

We all remember the pathetic theatricals from referee Paul Alcock when he exaggerated Paolo Di Canio''s push on him that led to a 12 match? ban.

I think the club might be quietly relieved at this.

Could have been a lot worse and Nelson will not let the side down

It should have been a hefty fine, that way the player not the club is penalised for something that was not a game related incident.

By that there was no unfair advantage attempting to be gained - no reckless challenge, no last defender bringing down a striker, handball etc

Barnett''s actions did not, and could not have, impacted on the game.

It was a fair decision no doubt about it. It could have been a lot worse and would have been if Barnett didn''t apologize straight after the game.

Nelson is a hell of a lot better than Askou Boyo and if he plays like he did against Coventry we won''t have any problems.

Nelson is a good defender, and better than Askou by some distance.

I had my doubts in his first few weeks here, but since then he''s done very little to suggest he''s anything less than capable.

Barnett has been superb since he joined (as has Ward, for the most part) so I''d naturally prefer him in the line-up, but Nelson will provide more than adequate cover for the next two matches.

Anybody who Lambert picks will do a great job, we have no wasters here anymore!!!

I honestly thought the FA would go to town and give him a  5 game ban or something stupid... a ban is never good but at least he will be back for QPR

Lucky boy I was expecting more than 2 matches

[William Darby 0]

I roughly assumed it''d be two, but was expecting a fine as well. So I guess an apology and the admission of his guilt helped matters there.

Could be worse......we could still have Doherty....playing in his place.
