I don't think we were in complete control first half

Didn't feel comfortable with our centre-backs up against Bogle - they let him go clean through once and he threatened on numerous other occasions. We didn't create a lot of chances first half - that was consistent throughout.

Wigan came out with more drive second half and we didn't cope with it well enough. It wasn't a drop in our intensity but a failure to raise our game to deal with the threat. We were a bit panicked for a spell which led to the goals. A lack of composure. To be fair to the Wigan crowd as well, despite their low numbers they really got behind the team at the start of the second half which added to the pressure. You could feel a goal coming.
