Tomoki Iwata of Birmingham City<\/p>\n
Tomoki Iwata is the latest Birmingham City<\/a> player walking the disciplinary tightrope on four yellow cards in the Championship.<\/p>\n Iwata<\/a> has starred at right-back in recent weeks with two excellent displays in the back-to-back 4-0 victories over Portsmouth and Millwall to confine summer signing Bright Osayi-Samuel<\/a> to the bench.<\/p>\n It was in fact a ban for Osayi-Samuel that forced Chris Davies<\/a> to deploy Iwata at right-back at Wrexham a month ago and the 28-year-old Japanese midfielder has added a new dimension to the Blues’ play.<\/p>\n But Iwata is at risk of incurring his own suspension, having recently reached four yellow cards in the league. Iwata has been booked against Blackburn, Coventry, Preston and Bristol City, meaning one more will see him banned.<\/p>\n Should Iwata receive a caution in any of Blues\u2019 next five Championship games he will receive a one-match suspension.<\/p>\n The first amnesty comes in after 19 Championship matches, which means players can no longer be banned for receiving five cautions.<\/p>\n Blues face Middlesbrough on Saturday in their 15th Championship game of the season and play Norwich City, West Bromwich Albion, Watford and Southampton before the amnesty.<\/p>\n Influential trio Christoph Klarer, Paik Seung-ho and Jay Stansfield are all on three bookings and therefore at risk of landing a one-match ban.<\/p>\n Blues\u2019 Championship yellow cards table<\/strong><\/p>\n Bright Osayi-Samuel – 5 (ban served)<\/p>\n Tomoki Iwata – 4<\/p>\n Paik Seung-ho – 3<\/p>\n Christoph Klarer – 3<\/p>\n Jay Stansfield – 3<\/p>\n Demarai Gray – 2<\/p>\n Alex Cochrane – 2<\/p>\n Ryan Allsop – 1<\/p>\n Kyogo Furuhashi – 1<\/p>\n Keshi Anderson – 1<\/p>\n Marc Leonard – 1<\/p>\n James Beadle – 1<\/p>\n Lewis Koumas – 1<\/p>\n Patrick Roberts – 1<\/p>\n Jack Robinson – 1<\/p>\n Get the latest Blues headlines sent straight to your phone<\/p>\n BirminghamLive has its very own Birmingham City<\/a> WhatsApp community to deliver the latest headlines straight to your phone.
