The Latics boss was very happy with the match and admitted that his side could have scored twelve! He said: "We changed the system a little bit, and in all fairness without being rude, we could have won by a dozen goals. We created some great chances, made some great movements, the only thing that was missing was the fitness, but we got through without any injuries."
"There was some good goals, and we worked hard, and it was a good run out for us. Andreas Johansson is a good link up player, he's got an eye for goal and can see a pass. Today's game wasn't going to be compared to the crash, bang and wallop of the Premiership but I was pleased with how they worked."
Whilst, he is more than happy with new boy Pascal Chimbonda, he added: "He's has got bundles of energy, he's unorthodox, and I do think that he will be a decent signing for us. We're still looking for more players, we need a striker, a midfielder and a central defender."
Jason Roberts made his first start for the club after breaking his leg against Reading in the final game of last season, a sight that will have pleased the Latics faithful, despite his penalty miss.
Nobody was happier than Paul Jewell to see the forward back in action. He said: "Jason Roberts has just played his first full ninety minutes of the season after getting rid of those niggling foot injuries so he's got a full match under his belt and he'll be better for that. He worked very hard, as did all of the team."
Whilst Macclesfield boss Brian Horton was pleased with the run-out, he was disappointed with the result. He commented: "It was another good run-out but they are a top side. You would expect them to keep the ball better than we did but it's still disappointing to lose by four."
