Was an extremely poor challenge, good job the other lad didn't get an injury.
Southern probably just wanted to impress and was a bit off the pace, can see he wants to get stuck in but no need for 2 footers.
Woods is the only " defensive" midfielder left for the next 3 games, hopefully keep him fit.
Wildig and Clark provide enough cover for the next 3 games.

Without wishing the defend the tackle itself in any way, he is with us till the end of the season, he has the experience and pedigree to contribute once he is once again available, and it was one rash tackle. Yes, unacceptable, but he didn't kill anyone. 'Sod off back' comments don't really bring anything constructive to the situation, just encouraging people to get on his back before he's had a chance to show what he can do. I wish him all the best once he's recovered from the bollocking that he's sure to have received post-match. Getting yourself sent off for nothing at the end of an already won game that you've only been involved in for a couple of minutes, and in so doing picking up a suspension (3 games?) that'll mean you being paid to sit in the stands and get even less match-fit is hardly bringing anything constructive either. Yep, like I said, not condoning the tackle. But don't believe in hanging the bloke for a first offense either. It wasn't a game changer, and he'll be furious with himself as will Mellon. Either way what's done is done, he's our player till the end of the season and I'd rather we look to get the most out of him for that time than scapegoat him for his first mistake which was undoubtedly made with the best intentions.

'He made one superb tackle to get it and then the next thing I see is a red card and I was surprised' according to MM it was a fair well timed tackle

Do we have a recall option with Wildig? I know that there would be a 24 hour recall were the loan to be extended beyond the initial month but not sure whether such a clause exists during that initial loan period.

To get yourself sent off for a two-footed lunge in injury time, minutes after coming on for your loan debut, is quite ridiculous. Thanks for nothing and sod off back to where you came from afaic. Sod off back to where you came from, after one rash moment? Calm down owd lad.

The aggressive nature of the challenge was at odds with the powder puff finish to a chance he had shortly before.

Although watching it on the FLS last night, it was all in a frenetic couple of seconds when Southern himself had gone to ground after almost having his head scythed off by a Newport player. Then as he was rising, the ball was still there and he lunged in. Yes his studs were up, yes it was a red, but possibly more a wild attempt at the ball while unbalanced as he was rising from the ground, rather than genuine malice. And if the Newport player had connected with him, a second earlier, it would have been him sent off rather than Southern. Not very professional though from somebody with so much experience... but let's give him a chance to redeem himself when he returns to hopefully do a good job for us. But next week for Southend I would rather see somebody with more attacking flair and excitement at the front of midfield. I would like to see Jordan Clark who showed in that 2-0 over Luton just how quick of foot and brain he is. With him teamed up with Grant and Lawrence and Woods deeper, it could give us the skill to break down what will surely be a strong Shimpers' defensive line-up. The problem with bringing Clark into midfield to join the existing three is that we would have to change our formation, either by leaving out one of our defenders/wing backs or go with one up front. I can't see MM forfeiting a system that we are comfortable with and which has been reaping rewards points wise.

How about Grandison sat as a defensive midfielder as a possibility if the situation arises?

Or Grandison at the back with Goldson in front.
He's played there before.

In my opinion the tackle/foul was worthy of a red card.

I think MM's defence of Southern was very odd and most of his post-match interview with Dunny was very tetchy. He also bizarrely claimed he didn't think Leutwiler had a save to make. He just seemed to be challenging whatever question Dunny was lobbing at him.
He may have been angry with what happened to Southern but if this is what he like after we have won, I dread to think what it will be like if we hit a bad streak.
