Tony Mowbray is a little unhappy with David Wagner

Tony Mowbray is a little unhappy with David Wagner who is his counterpart at Huddersfield for the reason that he didn’t try and show any intent of winning against Birmingham City.

It was a game which was more important for Blackburn that it was for Huddersfield because the latter had already made it to the playoffs and the result of the game was not going to bother them.

But, Blackburn wanted the defeat of Birmingham because both the teams are the contenders of demotion to the third tier at the moment and neither of them wants the other to take away points.

Blackburn started the weekend on a great note by beating Aston Villa which was obviously a great result for them and then they thought that Huddersfield for sure would get the better of Birmingham because they are a stronger and also an-form team.

But, Wagner who is in charge of Huddersfield did not put his main players on the pitch and instead went with most of his second choices as a result of which Birmingham tuned out to be the dominant team and won by a margin of two goals.

Now Birmingham, because of that win and because of the fact that it was a decent-margin win, sits ahead of Blackburn in the second tier standings as those two goals enhanced their goal differential and got it better than the goal differential of Blackburn which had shaken the net only once in its encounter against Villa.

Mowbray suggested that Wagner shouldn’t have stitched such a light line-up against Birmingham as it’s important to maintain the integrity of the competition all the time.

Mowbray however admitted that it’s Wagner’s team and he is well within his rights to rotate his squad the way he likes to especially when a play-off spot is already in the bag, but, according to Manning Soccer the 53-year old, if he had been in the position of Wagner, there were not going to be so many changes in the line-up of the Terriers.
