Derby 0-1 Wigan

Jan 13 2008

DERBY gaffer Paul Jewell is adamant he was right to leave Wigan last season despite the Rams moving nearer relegation.

An Antoine Sibierski strike 43 seconds after his 81st-minute substitution condemned Derby - who had Claude Davis sent off - to another defeat at Pride Park.

Yet Jewell, who quit after saving Wigan from the drop on the final day of last season, said: "I've no regrets about leaving.

"In my time at Wigan we lost 5-1 at Wrexham in the LDV Vans Trophy and were bottom of the old League One.

"While it looks like we're going to go down there's a lot to be excited about in the future.

"I've taken knocks in the past yet ended up being successful. I hope I can be successful here."
