He did settle hugely after another sending off against Huddersfield Town, and has become one of the team’s more consistent performers.
However, his reaction to Leon Best’s elbow on Saturday came at the hindrance of the rest of the team, and was entirely unnecessary.
The elbow was bad, and the reaction was probably a single incident of choppy waters in an otherwise calm sea, but it has left Leeds without much in the way of defensive options for next Saturday’s visit to Queens Park Rangers.
Even so, Berardi deserves to be forgiven for what he did, given his recent good temper.
