Notts County's Liam Noble warned over disciplinary record

Notts County manager Ricardo Moniz has issued a final warning to midfielder Liam Noble over his disciplinary record.
The 24-year-old, who joined the Magpies on a free transfer from Carlisle last summer, angered Moniz when he was sent off in the 87th minute of Saturday's Sky Bet League 2 home game against Accrington.
County were leading 1-0 at the time but Stanley took advantage of their extra man to snatch a draw with a last-gasp equaliser from Matt Crooks.
Noble was red carded three times last term and was also booked in the first two league games of this season, leaving Moniz to read the riot act despite his good performances for the team.
Speaking ahead of Tuesday's Capital One Cup second-round tie against Aston Villa at Villa Park, Moniz said: "I have nothing more to say against him (Noble). It's always the same with him.
"So good a footballer - 50 per cent of our product comes from Noble, assists and goals. Against Huddersfield, he was unbelievable what he did.
"But he must also know this is his last chance, change his habit. Because he plays too low, he can play much higher but that kind of respect is important... it's very disappointing as coach that this kind of foul exists in my team.
"I don't speak to him anymore about that, because it cost us two points. Only in a year will we know if Liam Noble has changed. If he changes, he is a massive player, open to any level."
And when asked to confirm if this was Noble's last chance and that he will not play if he does it again, Moniz added: "Yeah. He's finished. Yeah."
