Championship disciplinary table: dirtiest teams ranked & where Portsmouth sit compared to Leeds and Sunderland

How Portsmouth's disciplinary record compares to the rest of the Championship

The Championship is often described as one of the most competitive and physical football divisions on the planet.

Teams are constantly battling to win games each week to gain and maintain success at both the top and bottom of the division.

This often means that competition is fierce and referees are often called into action to take charge of proceedings and caution any players that they feel have crossed the line.

Winning physical duels can often be the difference between winning and losing a game of football, but likewise having a strong disciplinary record can be equally important in order to avoid any unnecessary red cards or suspensions.

With that in mind, based on research from Transfermarkt, we take a look at the worst culprits for picking up cautions in the division and where Portsmouth rank compared to the likes of Sunderland, Sheffield Wednesday, Derby County and more.

Yellow cards are worth one point, two yellow cards leading to a sending off are worth two points and a straight red card is worth three points.

Here is how the table looks based on bookings.
