THE OPPOSITION
Wigan look to bounce back after a home defeat to improving Exeter City at the weekend.

"The result was tough” Manager Shaun Maloney said. “The performance in the second half was good, and I think it was a similar game to what we had down in Exeter. We had a lot of the ball and didn’t create. The second half felt completely different. We were very good in the second half but we gave ourselves too much to do.

“We conceded two goals but the overall performance, I can’t really be critical of in the second half. The result is still tough to take.”
