"I'm not happy with a lot of our players today, and we also committed too many silly fouls. We clawed ourselves back into the game, but then like at Newcastle we threw it away.

"They've got to learn. we lost the ball in out own half for their first goal. In fact, Everton didn't have to work too hard to score both their goals. You can't do that!

"We showed great spirit to come back twice, and we had a couple of opportunities which could have resulted in a break, and if we picked the right pass we could have got another goal.

"We didn't get much from the official either though. It seems we commit just one foul and we get a booking, but some of the other so called big clubs can have a few before it happens to them."

"I want better from my team than we had last year and that is why I am not particularly happy with our performance today. I'm delighted with a point, it shows character but we have to be better."

"There were opportunities there for us to do it and we should have seen the game out and but for some mistakes we would have done. I am disappointed not to take all three points but if you look at the bigger picture with three wins and two draws from five games then we've got to be pleased with that.

"The most galling part of it was that I didnt think Wigan had too many opportunties all day. What they got came from our mistakes. It shouldn't have happened and I wont allow it to happen because we've got enough players.

"The goalkeeper made two really good saves and if we had gone two goals ahead then we'd have been able to control it better. I thought we were going to control it at 1-0 and again at 2-1 and we should have done. But we kept going right to the end."
