Losing a defender is one thing, but losing your captain at the same time just makes things a whole lot worse

It was confirmed on Wednesday that Harlee Dean’s red card that he picked up against Cardiff City has been upheld and he will be forced to miss the next three games, starting with this weekend’s clash against Fulham.

It’s not the news the Blues or their fans wanted to hear, and now they’re going to be left in a bit of a tricky situation.

And speaking of the fans, needless to say, they were not happy with the decision.

They took to Twitter to outright condemn the EFL for their decision, with a number of them claiming that it’s only being upheld because they’re a relatively small club.

Although there were a couple of supporters who used the opportunity to try and make their cases for which player should take Dean’s place in the interim.

Whilst there were some of them who bizarrely seemed delighted with the decision.

Think it’s clear to see where these guys stand when it comes to the captain.
