An interview with Toby Sibbick in today's Chronicle giving his side of the story why he left us. https://www.barnsleychronicle.com/article/30235/wigans-sibbick-fond-of-reds-despite-asbaghi-fall-out
Can't believe he's still only 25, I liked Toby thought big Val really got the best out of him, he was exceptional in the charge towards the playoffs
Ass Bagger. Worst coach ever, way out of his depth. What a pair we had that season with him and Schopp
I liked Sibbick a lot. And I'm a little surprised he hasn't gone on to bigger things to be honest. If he's even a quarter of the player he demonstrated for us a few years back he'd walk into our current back 3. The amount of bad decisions and money just thrown away over the last few years is staggering to me.
Saw him against us at Kingstonian ground v Wimbledon. Looked a class above then. As you say a bit surprised he's not higher up
Totally. The most inept managers of recent times. How we crumbled after Val left was a disaster & one we are still dealing with. I'm enjoying the football of the last month, but not the season as a whole. I think we've a decent squad now. How high we can get this season remains to be seen, but there are a lot of grounds for optimism. Unfortunately there are some strong teams in our division, so I'm expecting playoffs again, at best. If the football remains good & we keep developing, I'm happy to see how things pan out.
I’m not convinced he was that good. I think he was another player that Val’s system suited & the added quality around him of players like Mowatt, Morris, Dike, Anderson, Helik helped massively. I got talking football with a Hearts fan on holiday who was telling me how bad he was & he can’t get in a struggling Wigan’s team.
As daft as it sounds were in the top six not playing great. If we could get playing like we can consistently, there's no reason why we can't acheived top 2. Apart from Brum there's not that much quality in this league. Big shithouse defender in January and we be reight.
