You are entitled to your opinion, but I fundamentally disagree.
Holgate's right foot ended up a good 2 to 3 feet away from the ball. I don't believe a professional player can miss the ball by such a margin. In my opinion, Holgate absolutely did intend to take Mitoma out of the game by injuring...
'You don't understand Dazzer. Those are the fine margins I'm talking about. If we had scored just one more goal than the other team in all our games, we'd be top o' league.'

Come again?
Cloudy, milky or discoloured water you say?
My neighbours on one side have two teenage boys. My neighbours on the other side have three boys, one of whom is a teenager, and the other two due to be teenagers in due course.
Should I warn them? Regards, Concerned of Patcham.
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.
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.
