HEREFORD United's combative midfielder Scott Goodwin has been told to cut out the silly fouls after receiving his second red card of the season in Saturday's 3-0 win against Stalybridge Celtic.
Goodwin was also sent off in the 0-0 draw with Doncaster Rovers back in November and missed the Wrexham FA Cup clash due to suspension.
"There is a fine line between combative and being a bit silly," said Bulls player/coach Phil Robinson.
"Scott has just got to eliminate the silly bookings. I don't mind if he is booked for a fair, hard challenge while working hard to get the ball back. But his first booking against Stalybridge was unnecessary although his second was unlucky but if he'd not had the first booking he would not have been sent off.
"I don't want to stop him getting around the pitch and winning the ball back for us but I don't want to have to play another game with 10 men."
