Barlow admits Wigan must break losing run

Wigan Athletic caretaker boss Frank Barlow admits they must break their losing run today against Tottenham.

"Everything's got to be controlled because as soon as there's a sign of losing control mentally, you'll take a massive knock on the field," he said.

"Hopefully we'll use that emotion and channel it the right way and what we're really looking for above anything else is for the supporters to see a passionate, determined performance from us." Although Wigan have endured a run of poor results, Barlow feels the team's recent performances deserved more.

The Latics twice led before going down 3-2 at Birmingham two weeks ago while they conceded late winners against Liverpool and Reading.

Barlow therefore believes his side only need to make small improvements in order to claim a much-needed win at Spurs and turn their fortunes around.

"We're not looking for miles, we're looking for inches," he said.

"An extra inch improvement here, an extra inch improvement there, and if we can find just a couple of extra inches on Sunday we'll come away with the three points.

"The frame of mind we must carry into it is that we're capable of coming away with the three points.

"Football's such a game of ups and downs. Little things make such big differences that you should never, ever go with any other feeling than thinking you can win the game. If you do that, you're beaten before you start."

Hutchings set for amazing Wigan return

Chris Hutchings is in line to make an amazing comeback at Wigan Athletic.

The Mail on Sunday says Hutchings could return to the JJB as Paul Jewell's assistant manager.

Jewell, who returned from a golfing holiday in Dubai yesterday, is ready to end his self-imposed exile from the game and would respond to any approach from Wigan chairman Dave Whelan. The word is, if Jewell does return, Hutchings, sacked just last week, would be his No 1 choice to be his No 2.

Scotland boss McLeish rejects Wigan

Scotland boss Alex McLeish has rejected an approach from Wigan Athletic.

The Mirror says McLeish was top of a wish list for the vacancy at the JJB but pulled back from the race yesterday.

The former Rangers chief is keen to manage in England but he has opted to stay with the Tartan Army.

Wigan may now go for a short-term solution and turn to veteran boss Joe Royle.

Barlow hopes to stay with Wigan

Frank Barlow hopes to be part of Wigan Athletic under a new manager.

The caretaker boss said: "I would like to remain at the club. I've not been on my own this week, we've got good backroom staff.

"In my situation it's a case of waiting to see. I'm fully aware of what the consequences are."

"The biggest disappointment for us is that we conceded a goal from a cross after we had fought off all their passing football. But the players showed great attitude and responded well to a brief chat from the new manager Steve Bruce before the game."

Wigan caretaker boss Frank Barlow:
"We play well for 80 minutes but we have to eradicate the problem we have of conceding goals in the last 10 minutes.
