Mancunian Matters looks at the best matches between Championship sides Bolton Wanderers and Wigan Athletic ahead of their relegation battle on Friday night.

The persistent determination of Wigan, despite three consecutive stalemates, finally paid off as James McClean’s late double helped his team back from a 1-0 deficit against Championship leaders Derby County.

The 0-0 draw against Millwall was their third consecutive stalemate and the same old story of Rosler’s team dominating but failing to master their opponents defence was there for all to see.

Uwe Rosler says there are plenty of positives his side can take forward into the clash with Millwall on Tuesday despite another failure to land three points against Brentford at the weekend

Wigan drew 2-2 against Wolves at Molineux at the weekend however with the club fourth from bottom, Rosler has outlined plenty of issues that need to be solved of the match against his old club Brentford after the upcoming international break

Uwe Rosler’s side held undefeated Nottingham Forest to a 0-0 draw on Tuesday night and face Wolves at the weekend in another certain test

Results so far in the season have not gone Wigan’s way and tonight Rosler wants energy, pace and grit from his players against the former European champions, currently second in the Championship table.

Despite plenty of promise and possession Wigan were again unable to produce goals this weekend, losing 2-0 to Bournemouth

Luke Hyam and Conor Sammon scored for Ipswich before Martyn Waghorn pulled one back late in the second half for the Latics

Wigan manager Uwe Rosler hopes his side can feed off a promising performance against Huddersfield last week by sinking their fangs into Ipswich this evening

The Latics took the lead through Marc-Antoine Fortune before Dominic Knowles replied for the hosts and Stuart Beavon grabbed a winner to secure a famous result for the Brewers.
