Dean Holden was speaking on behalf of the Latics' management team after the latest home loss to Millwall last Saturday. The Latics were cruelly undone to lose at the end of an entertaining match and most people who witnessed the match had to confess that they had sympathy for the home side.
Holden said, “Neil Harris - Millwall's manager - came into our office and apologised, saying he felt like his side had robbed us. It feels a little like that and a bit raw, and the lads are hurting. We started sloppily and were caught cold for the opening goal. It took us a while to get going but once we did, we got a foothold and kept them in their last third for decent periods. In the second half, the tempo was right up there and we created some good chances. We feel a bit hard-done by, but football is like that sometimes. The last few performances have improved and this was the best we have had at home for a while.”
