Wigan v Forest

Wigan 2 Boro 2 - another narrow escape!

Wigan, playing with two forwards, started well, and scored from a penalty. Boro came more and more into the game, with Wigan helpless to stop them. And on the stroke of half-time, Wigan mistakes let them equalize.

Again, Coyle made early substitutions and Gomez and Espinoza turned the game round. Just as Wigan gained control, errors at the back presented Boro with a second goal.

Wigan escaped with a point after scoring another goal direct from a free kick, this time a powerful shot by Gomez.

Forest, now top of the table, should offer a sterner test. Carson has had lots of action, and is playing well, but Perch in defence won as many headers as Holt in attack. Coyle will have to rethink his defence, midfield and attack.
