As Leeds United’s center back is suspended for the match against Watford, Joe Rodon’s appeal is characterized as “in a word, no” by Smyth

Joe Rodon will not be available for Leeds United’s weekend match against Watford since he was dismissed from last night’s game against Hull City for receiving two cautions.

In terms of squad depth, Daniel Farke’s Leeds team is getting better by the week as new recruits settle in and injuries subside.

The Whites will play their third game in as many days this weekend at home against Watford, but their squad depth following relegation has looked considerably stronger than their divisional rivals’.

Joe Rodon detects danger

Last night at the MKM Stadium, Leeds dominated the first half with the majority of the opportunities going their way. The Tigers attempted to breach quickly through Aaron Connolly and Jaden Philogene.

When the home team tried a counterattack, Joe Rodon pressured Philogene, causing the Hull winger to lose his footing and fall to the ground. If anything, Rodon’s body aided Philogene to briefly stand up again.

As a result of a clumsy challenge on Connolly around the hour mark, he received a second yellow and a red card. From that point on, he was, nevertheless, booked for the “challenge” that had him walking a tightrope.

Leeds, can you appeal?
Rodon received two yellow cards, despite the fact that the first wasn’t even a foul, much less a card, therefore Leeds has very little recourse if the judgement is upheld.

Rodon shouldn’t have had to be concerned about being on a caution, therefore it is upsetting to know that there is nothing you can do about suspensions when there have been two bookings.

Although it is absurd how the referee decided to penalize him for simply falling over, we won’t get an explanation.

Since managers aren’t allowed to carefully examine these selections, Martin will be able to keep officiating despite ruining that game from our point of view.

With two goals in the first half, we ought to have been out of the game, but games that are close may frequently be decided by shocking judgments.
