Shaun Maloney: "Dale Taylor has been brilliant for us. An absolute standout. I am relying on him even more now with Will Goodwin's injury and [Josh] Stones going to York City. I am a huge fan of him. I would love to work extremely hard to keep him at this club for a long time." #wafc

A perfect first half was followed up with a battling second half to secure our 10th win of the League One season 👏 Wigan Athletic are now 14th with 39 points from 32 games, with 30 goals scored and 32 conceded. All starting to look a lot more positive now. 14 to go 🔵⚪️ #wafc

That’s what Huddersfield Town can do with half a chance. Now they are back in the game. Dion Charles played down the right wing and it’s a good cross into the centre which falls between Aimson and Tickle. Callum Marshall there to finish. 🔵 Wigan 2 - 1 Huddersfield 🟣 #wafc

That was a pretty perfect half of football from Wigan Athletic. Impressive stuff 👏 Started confidently, tested the keeper early, pressured the Huddersfield Town defence and pressed well as a unit. Two deserved goals are the difference at the break. More of the same now. #wafc

OWEEN DALEEEEE! ⚽️ What a half this has been for Wigan! Jonny Smith turns the full back inside out to cross a ball to Owen Dale at the far post who can control it before firing beyond Nicholls. 🔵 Wigan 2 - 0 Huddersfield 🟣 #wafc

Superb finish that from Dale Taylor 👏 Toby Sibbick’s through ball should have been dealt with better by Brodie Spencer but once Taylor got into a 1v1 he was not missing from there. Nicely rounded the keeper too! 🔵 Wigan 1 - 0 Huddersfield 🟣 #wafc

Another point on the board to take Wigan Athletic up to 36 points from 31 games. Four points above the bottom four but we have two games in hand. Wycombe needed the three points today, as did Latics, but both sides settle for a point each in a game with little quality. #wafc

Shaun Maloney: "We have to figure out the solution with Will Goodwin. I have to trust Maleace [Asamoah]. He can play off both sides, he can play as a 9. We have to trust Maleace to be that 9." With Goodwin injured, it sounds like Asamoah will be a back up 9 to Taylor now. #wafc

Wigan Athletic attacking stats in League One after 30 games 📊 🥅 Shots: 326 (17th) 🎯 Shots on Target: 100 (20th) ⛳️ Corners: 146 (15th) ⚽️ Goals: 28 (24th) Games like tonight show that we can get forward and into decent areas, but the end product is so far off it at the moment. Thoughts? 🤔 #wafc

That is one of the most frustrating points we have won all season. Wigan had the most shots in any league game of ours this season, but can only score the one goal. Crawley defended well and tested us at times, but this feels like two points dropped. Onto Wycombe next. #wafc

⏸️ HALFTIME 🔴 Crawley Town 1 - 1 Wigan Athletic 🔵 A frustrating half of football overall. Latics finally got on the scoresheet after 9 corners and 14 shots, but our reward was immediately taken away after some poor defending allowed Barker to equalise. Any changes? 🤔 #wafc

Superb strike that from Charlie Barker to level the game back up after only a couple of minutes. That said, Wigan saw the pass about to be played and did not close him down at all, making it easy for the strike to be taken as Barker would have hoped. Frustrating, that. #wafc

TAAYLLOORRR ⚽️ Dale and Darcy linking up well down the left side. Darcy puts a geat ball into Taylor and Wollacott can't keep the header out! Latics deserve this lead after a bright start. Glad to see us take an opportunity to score well. #wafc

Wigan Athletic bow out of the FA Cup with a narrow loss against Fulham. Shaun Maloney can take plenty of positives from that second half, as the Latics took the game right to the end against Premier League opponents. All the best to Fulham in the cup 👏 #wafc | #EmiratesFACup

Ronan Darcy has the ball in the net, 92nd minute, but it’s ruled out for offside in the build up. Heartbreaking. We have deserved an equaliser. #wafc | #EmiratesFACup

Great to see Baba Adeeko back in the squad today. Managed an hour before needing to be replaced, but he is now an option for Maloney when we get back to League One football. Tough midfield to play in today but it will have been great experience for him. Same with Asamoah. #wafc

Fulham have been testing us with the long balls all afternoon and Ricardo Muniz was set in behind again. Tickle comes out to deal with it but Muniz got his shot away early to put Fulham back ahead. Wigan making changes now to look for another solution. #wafc | #EmiratesFACup

JONNY SMITH THE MAN YOU ARE! 🤯 Unbelievable strike from outside the box to bury ANOTHER left footer into the far corner! All tied at 1-1 now. What a start to the second half against Premier League Fulham! 🔵⚪️ #wafc | #EmiratesFACup

⏸️ HALF TIME 🔵 Wigan 0 - 1 Fulham 🔴 Fulham in control at the break. Muniz’s goal is the difference at this stage but Tickle has done well to keep the scoreline down. Wigan have plenty to do. Haven’t been able to truly test the Fulham backline so far. #wafc | #EmiratesFACup

Ryan Sessegnon’s crosses have been top quality. Unbelievable delivery for Ricardo Muniz to put Fulham ahead. Impressed with how Wigan have coped up to that goal, but now this will be a real test of character to see how we react. #wafc | #EmiratesFACup

A range of options have been brought into the football club during the winter window. Some short term and some long term. Maloney will be demanding success from them all. The Summer window looks to be a big one. A striker will be needed, along with more depth overall. #wafc

Wigan Athletic have completed the loan signing of Owen Dale from Oxford United ✍️ The winger can play on both sides, but is expected to be a replacement for Leicester City loanee, Silko Thomas, due to the youngsters serious injury. Welcome to Wigan, Owen Dale! 🔵⚪️ #wafc

Silko Thomas is likely to be out of action for a long period of time after sustaining a knee injury in the game against Lincoln City 🤕 Maloney has said he will know more about the extent of the injury on Monday. Latics could dive into the transfer market for a solution #wafc

That feels like a frustrating point to pick up, but it’s another point on the board nevertheless. Lincoln City were very hard working and made the game scrappy and lively. Latics fell into their traps many times and paid the price in the end. On to the next. #wafc | #WeAreImps

James Collins equalises for Lincoln City after following up on his saved penalty to put beyond Tickle on the second attempt. Only a couple of minutes left to play. The referee has been lively on his whistle today and Latics pay the price to walking a tight line. #wafc

Our players have an awful habit of taking their frustrations too far and allowing the referee a chance to book them. This gives opponents a chance to put pressure on our booked players and means Maloney has to make a decision on subs. Have to stop getting cheap bookings. #wafc

⏸️ HALFTIME 🔵 Wigan Athletic 1 - 0 Lincoln City ⚫️ A scrappy half from both sides, with the referee needing to put a few players in the book to try and settle it down. Jonny Smith’s goal the difference from a lovely counterattacking move from the Latics. #wafc | #WeAreImps

JONNY SMITHHHHHH! ⚽️ From defence to attack in a flash! A lovely ball through to Dale Taylor is brought under control for a 2v2, and the frontman finds Smith supporting on the right. Smith hits the pass first time and glides into the bottom corner! 1-0 Latics! #wafc #WeAreImps
