Match report:

Wigan cheated a lot (that's a standard match report for all games involving them, of course) and on this occasion got what they deserved, absolutely nothing.

Match notes:

Compared to the Crewe Alexandra game, Graeme Murty replace Ricky Newman and Shaun Goater replaced the suspended Steve Sidwell. Newman dropped to the bench, and Darius Henderson returned from injury to fill the other vacancy.

Match preview:

None.
