Championship's dirtiest sides: Where Portsmouth surprisingly rank against West Ham, Derby County & Co

Pompey head into the international break sitting 19th in the standings after a varied start to the new campaign.

Two wins, two draws and three defeats has seen John Mousinho’s troops pick up eight points from the opening seven matches.

The Blues have been notoriously amongst some of the division’s ‘dirtiest sides’ since their return to the second tier in 2024.

But that is much different this season, with Pompey receiving just five bookings.

Ebou Adams, Rocco Shein, Terry Devlin and Zak Swanson have all be given cautions, while Marlon Pack became the latest to find his name in the referee’s book during last Saturday’s 2-2 draw against Blackburn Rovers.

But do the Blues compare to their rivals?

Sports outlet ESPN have created a league table using disciplinary points, with a yellow card worth one point and a red card valued at three.

Here’s where Pompey rank against the rest of the Championship after the opening weeks of the season.
