If there was a table for most penalties against, we’d be well up there.

Haven’t Leicester had a stupid amount this season already, about 10 or 12, they seem to award pens for fun in this league I’m noticing ..
I think the problem with this league is that there are quite a few players who have played in the PL and “know the ropes”, but the referees haven’t refereed at that level and just aren’t up to that level (that’s why they are reffing the Football league).
I’m not sure there’s an easy answer to it – it’s just an observation.
Stuart Attwell has refereed in the top flight & is currently a football league referee. Admittedly though he made a lot of errors in the premier league (including sending Caldwell off at City with the scores at 0-0) which is why he is no longer a top flight ref!!
You could also argue however that as the players at this level aren’t as good they make more error than premier league players & hence there are more mistimed challenges, handballs etc.. & that’s why there are more penalties being awarded – off the top of my head I can;t think of too many that Latics have given away that I would disagree with
