Latics’ steely edge delights Martinez

Reading 0 Wigan Athletic 3

The Latics have established a reputation under Martinez for a fluid passing game, however, the Spaniard believes the lack of a harder edge has proved costly this season.

Wigan have kept just four league clean sheets this term — remarkably all away from home — with the latest a 3-0 win at Reading on Saturday that pulled them out of the bottom three.
