He is always going to defend his player and team, he has a job to do which he is already under pressure with. The majority in his position would do the same I fully expect. Will throwing his own player under the bus do anything to help his side?
Its happened and we cant do anything to change it, just need to move on
Here's how a decent human and manager who has deep connections to the club and area would have handled it:-
'Yes I saw that incident and I'll be honest it's a penalty and sending off. I know Branthwaite and he definitely didn't mean to hurt Dael he's a good kid. This is actually more my fault, I spoke to the lads in the dressing room and said you have to fight for every ball because Middlesbrough are a very good team who will be up for the challenge. I hope Dael is well, I will be reaching out to him and Neil.'
