Curtis Nelson and Marcus Harness goals gave Derby a 2-0 victory over QPR on Saturday, ending their three-match losing streak.
Paul Warne will be concerned with the Rams’ lack of a point despite their four straight victories at Pride Park on their road trip.
Warne may also be concerned about the possibility of his players receiving sanctions. As of right now, Kenzo Goudmijn, Callum Elder, Ebou Adams, and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing are the four of his stars who have been given two yellow cards.
In the meantime, in the first nine Championship games of the season, Eiran Cashin has already received three yellow cards. But what are the regulations and why are these five players in danger of being suspended?

What is the yellow card policy for the EFL Championship?
If a player in the Championship collects five yellow cards prior to the 19th game of the season, he will be suspended for one match.
The threshold has been raised to 10 yellow cards before the 38-game mark, which will result in a two-match suspension; if 15 are collected in a season, a three-game punishment is possible.
Maintaining discipline among Warne’s players may be essential to their survival in the second division, but with ten games remaining before the deadline, there’s a risk that several Derby players will be given one-match bans.
Only Oxford, Northampton, and Peterborough United had less yellow cards than the Rams, who were among the most disciplined sides in League One the previous season.
They have only played nine games this season and are currently positioned 12th in the Championship after receiving 20 yellow cards. With 31 yellow cards and two red cards, Preston North End is leading the way in that regard—for all the wrong reasons, though.
The Derby County schedule following the international break
When play resumes following the international break, Derby will visit Millwall in the Championship in an attempt to pick up their first away point.
After that, the Rams go to Oxford United in the south before hosting Hull City and Stoke City.
Derby will seek to capitalize on their excellent start by picking up a few victories from these games as a team that hopes to stay out of trouble.
After the interval, fans will be hoping for an away victory and, of course, for their players to stay out of trouble.
