"We've had to make changes today because some lads have only trained lightly after being out for the week with illness. We tried to probe and they got a lot of numbers behind the ball. But it was down to us to see that out today.

"It's about standing up to things, that's what football is. It's not about going under, it's about taking everything that gets thrown at you and I've said that to the players."

Wigan's Kolo Toure:

"We could have been more ruthless in front of goal. But we showed our fighting spirit and our bench was immense. We are trying to build a team here who have a winning mentality.

"We realise we need to stop conceding so many goals, but we were strong at the back today. We are working on some more signings but the squad we have are starting to do well."
