According to the O/S he gets a 4 game ban, as it's his 2nd sending off this season. He will also miss Preston A as part of the terms of the loan.
He's available for Wycombe H & Hartlepool H.
Looks likely that we may not see him again.

think we might aswell send him back to Preston to save on his wages0

It's his own fault. Always thought he looks like he has a reckless challenge in him, 2 sendings off in 4 months. He's 31 so can't see him changing his ways now.
Don't think we'll be signing him in the summer0 -
Good0

Costly mistake by a good player , we are weaker without him imo0
-
We are weaker by having to play with 10 men0
-
Yep we are 100 % agreed , but its in the make up of the player , think people went over board on his sending off
Would rather he was in our team than facing him tbh
A big loss in the run in0 -
Don't really see what you all see in him. He goes invisible a lot for me and is too reckless. Happy to see stephens or pritchard back in the side.0

I think he's a good player. Since he's come in the side, the midfield have plated better because they're stronger. He simply came in to the side to beef it up. He scored vs Yeovil which capped off a good performance. I think we will miss how presence.
I think people have gone over the top on this too. Yes, he made our job harder on Saturday but these things happen.0 -
Get Pritchard in.0

Russell is a tough character to play against, the hard man of the side.
Those who think he goes invisible, won't appreciate the graft and the ground covered hassling, tracking and covering. His team mates will. And his manager.
Still a dumb thing to retaliate, however - experienced pro should know better.
Seeing the video of the Huddersfield game, couldn't believe the reckless challenge by that thug Anthony Kaye on Russell. Straight through the player from behind, surely dangerous play?
Shame on that referee for not protecting players. Shocking.

Some right weirdos around. It seems that whoever is not in the team when we lose are suddenly the best players in the league. Knee-Jerkers.0

Powell brought him in to do a tough guy job .. except he got a tad too tough too often. If Powell and Hughes are talking and still mates, then Hughes needs to be back in the side (if fit). We need a tough, no nonsense midfielder to see us through this sticky patch and on to the Championship. Also, Hollands is better in the free role which it seems is denied him when Stephens ( a very good player in his own right) is alongside.0

Exactly, I'm sure they will start to say how amazing Doherty has been for Wycombe soon0 -
I agree with Karim and cafcnick, but Hartleypete - you're way out of line.

why did pritchard ever lose his place?!0
-
Was never particularly impressed, don't think he's earnt to keep his place anyway to be honest, think Hughes can do the hard graft job, doesn't have the creative talent of Stephens or the touch and pace of Pritchard, although having him unavaiable isn't perfect, he would be my 4th choice for the other midfield place (belongside Hollands). That's not including Jackson as a CM either.0

Bring Doherty back0

If Hughes impresses tonight, I expect to see him back in on Saturday. Orient are going to play 5 in midfield and we'll need his industry.
As for Russell he's a decent player and has experience of getting out of this division. He did something silly, but give him a break, his other sending off was harsh.0 -
Good0

I just wonder though,Huddersfield played him like a piano.Roberts knew exactly what was coming after he got the ball off him and got his side the decisive penalty,then they knew to have a pop at him and he didn't let them down getting sent off.If at 31 opposition players can make a fool of him like that I'm pleased he will be out the way for a while.0

Last Sat was inexcusable. Lost us the game imo. That says enough for me. Experienced pro like him should have known better.0
-
Good player yes, vitaly important, no.
We have others who are just as good.....won't be missed that much I'd have thought.
And as someone else mentioned, we might just as well ship him back (if we can) to save on wages.0 -

As above. He's 31, his season is finished, bye bye have a nice life.

Sorry for him. Liked him despite his faults. Was quite excited about his potential in the team when he came in, and it is a shame that his abiding legacy for us will be of this disastrous game.0
-
Send him back - no point in keeping him now.0
