One worrying thing to come out of the game was that Mark Crossley (pictured) had to retire in the 46th minute with a back problem and Greg Fleming was forced to take over in goal. It is hoped that Crossley will be fit for next weeks big six-pointer clash with Leicester City.
Manager John Sheridan was delighted with his team's performance and told Latics World, "We played some excellent football at times. I'm pleased to have got a response after the last three games. I don't think we've been playing badly, but it's all about getting points on the board and we were very good today to put ourselves in a decent position."
"I said before the game that a good start was important and we set the tempo from the off. It's always good to be 1-0 up in the first five minutes - it was an opportunist's goal and that's what Lee's good at. The keeper made an error, but Lee was there at the right place at the right time to put the loose ball into the net. Then Andy Liddell's put the penalty away to give us a bit of comfort. I've seen them given, but if it had come against us I would probably have had a little bit of a moan. Daniel Jones's goal was probably the best of the afternoon, and you can see his quality in the way he's put that ball away. And Danny Whitaker came up with a good finish at the end. It's also pleasing to keep a clean sheet. They had one or two chances, but we put our bodies on the line and blocked everything that came our way."
