I would have taken the red and trusted the team to hold out with 10

Last man... Was always going to be a Red so better to take the potential of a goal than virtually a whole half with a man down.
Very rash.

I’m not for a moment saying I could step in Dunk’s shoes and make good decisions, but when he was put through, I was already thinking “don’t pull him back”.
You know it’s going to be a red card. And Billy Bob would probably save the shot anyway.

A different kind of pasty
Depends on the stage of the game for me. In this instance, you let the player go. There is a chance Sanchez might have saved it, or he might even have missed, but even if he'd scored, there was plenty of time left to pull it back.
On the other hand, with less than 5 minutes to go, yes, make the foul.

He's a tottering tickle-brained clot pole.
But still great. Either decision, I don't care.

90th minute? Pull him down. Early 2nd half? Too much of a sacrifice
Why are they saying a 3 match ban for Dunk it's only 1. Maupay is now on holiday for calling an old runt an old runt
Edit only 2 match ban for dissent

Let him go. Fancy Sanchez to stand at least a good chance on the 1v1.
But split second decisions don't work like that. I don't blame Dunk. Just one of those things.
Maupay being silly however after the game and getting a red. That's less forgivable.

Answering the question with the benefit of hindsight is very different to the instant decision that would have to be made in the circumstances.....

It’s even easier to say it now but you have to let him go.
