da fezbet: Wolves midfielder Karl Henry has promised to learn his lesson after apologising for his horror tackle on Wigan Athletic's Jordi Gomez.
da cassino: Henry, who was already under the spotlight after his tackle broke the leg of Fulham's Bobby Zamora last month, was sent off just 11 minutes into Saturday's 2-0 defeat at the DW Stadium.
His lunging tackle on Gomez resulted in a straight red card and the 27-year-old midfielder's actions have again left manager Mick McCarthy having to defend his side's style of play.
"Having watched it again I can see that it looks horrific and realise that it was a deserved red card," he told the club's official website.
"I've already apologised to the manager, TC (assistant Terry Connor) and the boys, but I'd also like to apologise to the supporters, especially the ones that travelled up to Wigan.
"If we'd have had 11 men on the pitch, there is no doubt in my mind that we would have won that game. I'm desperately disappointed – if I could go back and rerun it all again I wouldn't make the challenge and I would have stayed on my feet.
"It's something that I'll learn from. But things happen so quickly. I'd made the decision to go and win the ball and it turned out to be the wrong one.
"We started really well and I thought we were well in contention – especially in the first half. And so again, I'd like to stress how sorry I am because I know that I have let people down.
"And, on top of everything else, I'm going to miss three important games. For me it's a bad situation, but I've got every confidence that the boys can get a result against West Ham and kick on from there."Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
