Landzaat: Slow Start
"It was similar to last year where we dominated the game for long periods. I was a bit edgy at half time and I gave them a bit of a rollicking because I thought that our play was very, very good.

"But we have to be more ruthless in front of goal. For all the good play we had, we didn't really create too many chances. We did wonder if we were ever going to see a goal, and this is a hard place to come as they have a good home record.

"I don't think Denny has ever missed a penalty before, and it would have been nice to see him score his first Wigan goal. He has had a bit of a stuttering start here, but he is a quality player. It's unfortunate that he missed."

"When you buy so many new players its going to take time for them to gel, but it is going to be a tough season. I've got confidence in all the players that we will get better. But to get six points from two games is a major boost."

"If we had come with away anything we would have been lucky. Wigan bossed it in the first half. We huffed and puffed a bit in the second but they had the better chances and played the better football.

"We were disappointed with the way we defended. I can't get stuck into the players because they've been superb all season. We have to put it behind us and concentrate on Everton.

"I'm not taking anything away from Wigan because they're a good team. I think they're better this year than last."
