Disciplinary tightrope Liverpool's Conor Bradley faces at Bolton Wanderers ahead of Cheltenham Town

Conor Bradley has had a fantastic start to life at Bolton Wanderers and has been one of the big positives in the early stage of this season.

The teenage defender is on loan at Wanderers for the season from Liverpool. The 19-year-old joined over the summer, having been a target for Ian Evatt's side in January.

He has slotted straight into Bolton's first team at right wing-back. He has become first choice in the position and has impressive stats so far.

The Northern Ireland international is the club's joint top scorer in all competitions with three strikes. It ties him level with club and country team mate Dion Charles.

His goals have come in the Carabao Cup with a thunderbolt in the 5-1 victory over Salford City. He also has two League One goals to his name with strikes against Morecambe and Charlton Athletic, as well as three assists in that time.

However, there could be a brief interruption to Bradley's performances owing to his disciplinary record. In all of England’s professional leagues, players will receive a one-match ban if they collect five yellow cards in their team’s opening 19 matches of a league campaign.

Wanderers play their eighth game of the League One season this weekend when they travel to Gloucestershire to take on Cheltenham Town. Bradley has four yellow cards so far this campaign picked up against Ipswich Town, Morecambe, Sheffield Wednesday and Plymouth Argyle.

If he received another booking against the Robins, it means he would have to sit out the trip to MK Dons next Tuesday. If not, this will be hanging over Bradley until Bolton's 19th game of the season, which is due to be the trip to take on Fleetwood Town in mid-November.
