Last week Wigan fans came together to sing 90 songs in 90 minutes which has since resulted in back-to-back wins for the Latics against Blackpool and Norwich after Wednesday’s five-hour slog to East Anglia.
Bo-Kyung Kim, Harry Maguire and James McClean all scored at Bloomfield Road to lead the Latics to victory over Blackpool, but they are still nine points from safety going into their match this evening with Norwich.

Maloney was nearing the end of his contract and after making 79 league appearances and scoring 14 goals, manager Malky Mackay decided the move was in the player’s and the club’s best interests.
Wigan are still searching for their first three points in 2015 and have only won once in their last twelve games as they prepare to welcome Blackburn Rovers.
Wigan managed to pull a goal back after falling behind twenty minutes in, but it was Watford who had the last laugh netting their second in the 82nd minute to grab the three points on Saturday.
The Latics suffered yet another loss on Saturday at home to Norwich City, who saw the struggling club off in the first five minutes to come away with a 1-0 win that left Wigan three points from safety.
The Scotsman, who is going into his third game in charge of the Latics, made over 200 appearances for Norwich City between 1998 and 2004.
The Latics drew 1-1 against high-flying Middlesbrough with a phenomenal free-kick from Shaun Maloney that showed the controversy of the week had clearly not put them off their game.
The former Cardiff City manager, appointed Wigan manager on Wednesday, is currently under investigation by the FA after allegedly sending racist, sexist and homophobic texts during his time in Wales.
