    Great win, with only 1 fit CH playing. Ekwah was very good, great to see after the Hull game.

    On another day with a better final ball we win that comfortably but they dug in for the last 15mins.

    cheers again RTB...

    ah well, take a win anytime...played some good stuff first half but could have come to regret the missed chances, clever free kick from pritchard that allowed cirkin to score.

    ref seemed a bit 'iffy' in the 2nd half especially, plenty of fouls given that others got away with but he was the same for both teams, not a bad little game but we needed the win so i was a tad worried that we seemed to drop off too much.

    dont think there was a real stand out player so going for batth for my MotM, only one with any height and got plenty of crosses to try to deal with but mainly got his head and foot to most things.

    In fairness all season every result I’ve instinctively checked the bottom three before looking above us, can finally stop now :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Batth has been one of our best signings for years. Mr Reliable, hard as nails

    Cracking result. Nervy at the end, but big 3 pts.
    Birmingham and Huddersfield will come here for a point, but if we can take 6pts from those games......then who knows?

    Some results went our way today, but you still feel that there's too many teams between us and that 6th spot.

    We can only beat what's in front of us though and the next 2 are at home against teams in the bottom half. 6 points is a must.

    It's teasing us. Personally I don't think we'll get into the top six, but while it's this tight you can't help but dream... Imagine if we'd not given away two stupid last minute penalties against Bristol and Hull?

    If you were a Wigan fan you just wouldn't celebrate promotion from L1 because you know you are coming straight back down

    No reason why we cant do it. Hopefully the club can put some sort of deal on the tickets, 2 for £35 or something and get the place packed.

    Valid point, but I'd imagine every club between 5th and 14th have those "What ifs".

    Yeah. Think so too. Just blown it a couple of key games.

    That's said , every win and opportunity to develop some players is welcome.
