REGIS LE BRIS is certain that Sunderland will figure out the best way to deal with an increasing list of absentees over the international break.
Despite two outstanding goals, the Black Cats lost to Coventry City twice in front of the largest crowd of the season.
Trai Hume and Patrick Roberts of Sunderland received their fifth yellow cards of the season in addition to letting a two-goal lead slip to earn a point.
As a result, Le Bris will have to make a few significant selections over two of his regulars when the two are suspended for the November 23 trip to seventh-place Millwall.
Alan Browne and winger Romaine Mundle are also under scrutiny after being sidelined early due to injuries against Coventry.
“We will have to find another setup to work,” Le Bris stated. The team is prepared to compete and come up with the best option, which is inevitable in a lengthy season. We must make use of the squad’s depth.
“We have two weeks to find that solution, and we are up to the challenge.” “Many players will have opportunities to play.”
Before deciding on a strategy for the trip to The Den, Sunderland will evaluate the fitness of Mundle, who assisted in setting up both of his team’s goals against the Sky Blues, and Browne early this week.
Le Bris is eager to use the next two weeks to further bolster a team that leads the Championship after 15 games, regardless of who plays.
And it entails figuring out how Sunderland lost a match in which they led by two goals at the break thanks to outstanding goals from Wilson Isidor and Dennis Cirkin.
“Every game is a new opportunity to learn,” Le Bris stated. With two evaluations this week, we will accurately evaluate what transpired in this game.
If we can work together to shift the dynamic by connecting the two or three small details, it will have a significant impact.
At halftime, we knew the outcome. The first half wasn’t fortunate. We were capable of playing and scoring goals. Although we are improving as performers, we were unable to maintain that in this second half. On the pitch, you could see the difference; time and distance are key factors.
“As a team, coach, and supporters, we must maintain our consistency. With 31 points from 15 games, we’ve had a strong start and aim to demonstrate our ability to be more reliable. We will assess our capabilities for the upcoming task.
