    he's been very very unlucky with the injury, but it's a contact sport
    The initial tackle may have been fair but he then took out his left leg with both feet.

    Without seeing the challenge from a side on view its hard to gauge how bad it is. Its a very strong challenge, but from the angle seen, not one you haven't seen a few times. Irrespective of that just hoping its not as serious an injury as Cowley is fearing. Speedy recovery Micah.

    If he's not back until Christmas then the likelihood of him being sold to a PL in the January window is minimal. It's got to be what's best for him and the club and that has to be whether it's better for him to push on as a member of our first team squad, which I hope to be the case, or go out on loan to a League 1 side. 

    In the meantime, wish him all the very best in his recovery.

    Wonder if he spends the summer at St Georges Park like Leaburn did

    The idea of Micah spending perhaps 9 months lifting weights as part of his rehab, must be a frightening prospect for Championship defenders

    PWR…..is there any news re diagnosis of his injury?

    Their defender didn’t slip - he went in hard on Mbick with both feet (one after the other, for some reason!?)

    I think he knew he’d been dragged out of position and that the ball was about to be slipped in behind him, so he just committed to taking the ball and/or the player at all costs.

    So keep those stills on one screen. now look at the available video clip again alongside them.

    What's the defender' right leg doing?

    I expect Kevin Muscat said "it's a contact sport", in court. He lost.

    I've watched it enough times, personal view is that there's nothing in it - everything looks worse when you slow it down and freeze frame it.

    as I said it's a contact sport and injuries happen, I don't even think it was a foul

    Just my opinion though

    fingers crossed for Mbick it's not too serious and he recovers quickly

    Thought it was a pretty horrendous tackle, personally.

    It looks far worse at normal speed. He stopped a player running at speed by taking out both legs.

    If it wasn't that bad why was he taken to hospital.

    Just because he got hurt doesn’t mean it was a foul. I am with the very graceful defender “Eltham Addick” who knew how to tackle!

    Watching the video of the tackle it doesn’t look like a shocker, but devastated for the lad to end up with such a terrible injury. Wishing him the best for a speedy recovery as he’s made so much progress this season. 
    Ditto.
