Ryan Lowe: "When I spoke to the ownership group, it was a short-term/mid-term/long-term vision.

You don't just want to go to a football club for two or three years and not build anything.

I am excited for the future to build Wigan Athletic back to where they should be."

Fantastic to see Chris Sze back out there today 🙌

It's been a tough season for him, but to return to the field and play an influential role in creating the chance for our goal will help him settle back into this squad.

Head down, train well, and keep taking the chances.

A MASSIVE three points for Wigan Athletic, taking us up to 43 from 35 games 👏

That's 11 wins for the season now, 6 of which have come at home. Luke Robinson's goal is our 17th at home, taking our total to 32 ⚽️

Sam Tickle claims his 14th League One clean sheet 🧤

ROBBBBOOOOOO! ⚽️

Chris Sze made the initial challenge to win the ball back in the midfield. He played it wide to Jonny Smith who cut it back to Adeeko to shoot.

Keeper parries into the path of Luke Robinson who scores his first Latics goal!

C'MON LATICS! 🔵⚪️

A decent shift from Luke Chambers on his return to the field after a lengthy spell out 👏

Clearly still rusty, but showing promising signs. Glad to see he's back as an option now for the run in.

⏸️ HALF

🔵 Wigan Athletic 0 - 0 Cambridge United 🟡

A lively first half from both sides, but neither able to find the back of the net.

Dale Taylor came closest for the Latics, with Josh Stokes closet for our visitors.

Any changes at the break? 🤔

Glenn Whelan has made 3️⃣ changes to the starting XI to face Cambridge United 🫡

◽️ Luke Chambers replaces Owen Dale
◽️ Baba Adeeko replaces Scott Smith
◽️ Jonny Smith replaces Dion Rankine
◽️ Chris Sze makes the bench!

Chambers’ return signals we could see a back 5 played today, or a 3-5-2 shape.
