The Latics made their way through to the second round of the FA Cup on Saturday although it wasn't a convincing performance. Mike Jones scored the only goal of the game with a curling free kick which put paid to Leyton Orient.
Lee Johnson said, "We were made to work hard for it by good opposition and a good side. They have spent big and the 11 they had out was a strong team. It was a tough game for us and I'm just happy to be through and into the hat. That was a strong mental performance to say we lost last week to Bristol City. Some had to dig in today because we had a few that weren't feeling well. Jabo missed the game through illness and I'm delight to come out with a win although it wasn't a vintage display."
"I thought Kelly was excellent for the whole game. I thought Mills was good in the second half and I thought Jones had a dodgy 25 minutes but was excellent after that. It was a lot of ups and downs but maybe last season we would have probably lost that game so I've got to praise the character of my side. There are no easy games, whether it be the lowest team or the best team. That showed today because both teams took it seriously and there is a massive prize, whether it be round three, round four or however far you go."
