The whole team played higher up the pitch. We still need a cutting edge but thankfully Taylor is back next week.

What a difference Gary Caldwell has made to this club. Work-rate, desire and commitment cannot be faulted. A tremendous result today against a team chasing the play-offs. #wafc

β€œCaldwell will be pleased with the work rate and forward play which had enabled them to match promotion chasing Stockport but the poor defending and indiscipline proved to be the difference between the two teams.”

Fighting spirit was for all to see. Latics DNA appears to be back with Caldwell & Perks etc. Hopefully we can now pull away from the drop zone and start to relax a bit.
