Wigan manages to pull back from defeats

Wigan Athletic finally managed to end the run of matches without a victory after a hard fought 2-1 win over Derby County during the weekend. The win pleased manager Uwe Rosler, who has been finding it difficult to live up to the expectations after an impressive season last time around. Apart from coming close to the FA Cup finals, Wigan also reached the latter stages of the play-offs. They also performed exceptionally well in the Europa league campaign, but they seem to be paying the price for this marathon campaign this time around. Wigan have been disappointing in the league so far.
They managed just two Premier League victories up until the Derby match. However, they were crucially undefeated in the last four matches leading up to this trip to Pride Park. It looked like another disappointment was on the cards for the away team after Eustace gave Derby the lead in the first half. James McClean, though, provided a different script to the story after scoring a brace in the second half. This finally brought an end to the winless run that had stretcher to 8 matches. The win also lifts Wigan slightly above the relegation zone, although they enjoy only a couple of points as a buffer.
“Before the game, nobody gave us a chance but this was the best away performance since I have been at the club. We had complete dedication to the game plan, demonstrating that we are not a group of individuals but that we are starting to come together and be a team. I am so proud as to how they reacted as a group and I think the players have answered the questions in a very impressive way,” said the German, who is positioned at the club has been questioned in the last few weeks due to poor results.
