Paul Dickov was impressed with the way his team battled hard in their 'behind closed doors' friendly at Hull City. The Tigers won the game with an 89th minute strike from former Rangers forward Sone Aluko. Dickov said, "It was very encouraging and for long periods we were the better team."
Tomorrow, the Latics travel to Fleetwood Town, newly promoted to the Football League for a pre-season friendly which seems to be becoming an annual habit.
