Newcastle match

Despite making nine changes from the team that faced Spurs the Saturday before, this was the most comprehensive 1-0 thrashing that has been handed out by a Latics team in years.

The stats speak for themselves. Goal Attempts, shots on target, corners, possession all massively in favour of Wigan. We outplayed them in every area. The only downside was the lack of goals, but that was only due to a magnificent display by Shay Given in Newcastle’s goal.
