- Whelan: "The result was the most important thing today."
Glenn Whelan was delighted that the players were able to give the Wigan Athletic supporters something to cheer about following the 1-0 win over Cambridge United.
It was a cagey Sky Bet League One encounter at the Brick Community Stadium, with both sides giving their all to get the three points. As the game progressed, it looked increasingly likely to end level, but thankfully Luke Robinson had not read the script and netted a crucial 77th-minute winner.
Speaking to Latics TV, Whelan paid tribute to the players who showed grit, character, and determination to send their home supporters home happy.
“The result was the most important thing today rather than the performance,” he said.
“It’s been a tough few weeks with the amount of games, and there’s loads we can improve on but the gut and determination from the lads was really pleasing.
“We got another clean sheet and managed to get the win which is the most pleasing thing.
“We’ve taken four points from our last two games. At the moment, there’s been a bit of a cloud at home.
“Today it wasn’t about the performance and playing well, it was about giving these fans something to cheer about.
“They stayed in their numbers and we won the game. Hopefully, next time the fans come back home, we can be better again.”
