Wigan 1-1 Bolton

Wigan midfielder James McClean is suspended after picking up his 10th yellow card of the season.

New loan signings Josh Murphy and Jerome Sinclair will both be hoping to make their full debuts.

For Bolton, striker Adam Le Fondre (virus), Manchester United loanee Saidy Janko (back) and veteran forward Emile Heskey (hamstring) are all available.

Goalkeeper Adam Bogdan, defender Paddy McCarthy and midfielder Barry Bannan may all return to the starting line up.

There will be changes and there needs to be. A new defense is the order of the day.

I'm cooking tonight so I'll sign off. Enjoy what remains of the weekend.

The 3 bolton centre backs superb. Bolton conceded because they defended way too deep. Lack of quality in midfield and up front.

Sort of a match report: If bolton would have hung on to win 1-0 it would have been the ultimate smash and grab. Deserved to get beat. Amos was outstanding, at least 3 amazing saves and handling impeccable. The back 3 of ream Mccarthy and mills were outstanding too handled most things wigan threw at bolton. Thats where it ended unfortunately. Feeney was awful at wijg back. Not his fault as lennon put him there. No idea how to defend and scared of pushing forward as he did not have the protection of a full back behind him. Only bannon had any quality going forward. The only release bolton had was long ball to heskey which he always won but lack of quality midfield could not take advantage if it. Cravies came on for a nightmare appearance. Not good enough, got himself booked and missed a great chance to make it 2-0. Mixture of bad tactics by lennon and poor quality of the midfield and attack who could not hold the ball or create anything. Could not have complained if this had finished 4-2. Got away with it big time today. Can't complain at a point and maintaining a 10 point gap from the bottom 3.
