I expect a positive reaction on Wednesday night.
I can only think he changed formation to accommodate Mir up top. Didn't work. Might have done if a couple of the half chances we had were put away and we'd gone in at half time 1 up. I'd agree with Sabri, we weren't brilliant, but it wasn't a stinking performance from the players.
I think Sabri thought our quality would be enough to beat a poor-ish Wigan team. If you're going to give Mir game time, then this was probably the game to do it.
As you say, hope he learns from it. I put the responsibility for the defeat down to him but wont be critical of him, he's been excellent to date.
Fair post but I don't. If he'd had better quality to replace some of the players with, like he shoudl over a 46 game season, we'd have still come away with points.
Think he made a few bad choices, but also Bostock for Sow & Mir for Grabban is just too big a dip in quality, and that's down to Modesto & the board.
Sabri's gonna be forced to play as strong a first 11 as he can until Jan. Then, if we're to be able to genuinely cope with the burn-out of older players like Watson which will follow back end of the season, we have to bring in far more ready-now players than Bostock, Mir, Muric, Semedo, Ameobi etc.
