Wilder needs to take some responsibility for that tackle. But he doesn't. This could get him into trouble. Holgate will already be in trouble of course, but Wilder needs to take ownership of it.

[Albion] More Chris Wilder delusion...

Aren't all fouls mistimed tackles?
Comes across like a pissed uncle at a wedding there. Telling women half his age that he had an idea for a mail order company but had it nicked by non other than Jeff Bezos who was at the next table at Pizza Express.
Crikey, what an odd person, a pound shop Mourinho.
He finds it too painful to say "Brighton", instead "these" / "teams like this" / "they"
.
It's an insult to call that a "tackle". If you watch the video focusing solely Holgate and the ball, he had no eyes or intention on winning the ball. Instead he set out to end a player's match. A vile challenge in any era.
I wonder if Wilder kind of caused the violence by raising the temperature before and after games with the insinuations of cheats and injustices?

2 independent commentary channels and the bbc each described the tackle as “horrific”, or worse.
Obviously we’re all Albion, but how could anyone not condemn that ‘challenge’?

Apparently the Only player to have received a red in the last three seasons
Never mind, we won’t be seeing the thugs again next season
You know it would be good now and again for Managers just to be honest and apologise for their players’ ineptitude or stupidity. No, not Chris Wilder. Utter prick. The tackle was potentially leg breaking/slicing.

A slight revising of opinion from CW.
17:24 BBC Sport text:
Holgate red was correct decision - Wilder
"Well, maybe as a player that played for quite a long time, you would think that's an OK challenge - a strong and competitive challenge."
"But I think we all have to admit, me included, the game has moved on."
"It was a mistimed tackle and the correct decision was made."
So still claiming that the tackle was mistimed, but agreeing that the decision of the red card was correct.

For me that’s a more worrying comment than from Wilder. A player has nearly crippled another and he comes out with that tripe

Interesting that the two clubs who essentially cakewalked the Championship last season have been shown up this season to be bang average at best, and pretty dire at worst. Luton, who scrambled up via the play offs look a far better PL outfit!
Big gulf in class between the two divisions, getting bigger!

I used to like Wilder. He’s lost the plot.

It wasn't a mistimed tackle at all. Holgate timed it perfectly, and intended to take Mitoma out of the game by injuring him.
The response from Wilder still isn't nearly enough to limit the damage from this.

Only player to receive a red card in each of the last 3 seasons.
Which is quite a feat as he’s only played 11 PL games in the last 2 seasons.

Can you imagine what they'd be saying if it were one of our players on theirs!

Yes, the Wilder clip shown earlier in this thread is aimed at the Sheffield United audience, and he's trying to protect his player, in public at least. Bit futile, but understandable, TBH, but I bet he wasn't so kindly disposed to Holgate in the privacy of the dressing room!
The captain's comments are, as you say, rather more worryingly ridiculous.
