Wigan Athletic will play Boreham Wood in the FA Cup first round this Saturday.
That result stopped a streak of three straight losses in the league, but the club is still near the bottom of the third tier standings. Wigan Athletic sit 21st in League One on 10 points after 13 games, with a record of three victories, one draw, and nine defeats. They have scored 11 goals and conceded 22, leaving them with a goal difference of minus 11 and 18 points behind leaders Huddersfield. Recent results have been mixed, with two successes and three defeats across the last five league games. Their most recent match was a 3-2 win against Bromley on Saturday 31 October, with Christian Saydee, K'Marni Miller and Bradley Burrowes scoring. Before that, they were beaten 3-0 by Leicester City on Tuesday 27 October and 2-1 by Huddersfield Town on Saturday 24 October, following a 2-1 loss to Oxford United and a 1-0 win over Reading.
The side that began the Bromley win used a 5-3-2 shape, featuring Whitworth in goal. The defense included Connor Barrett, who provided two assists in that match, Weir, Carragher, Burns and K'Marni Miller. Power, Walsh and Burrows were in midfield, with Charlie Gray and Christian Saydee up front.
That team contained T. Curd, T. Golden, C. O'Connell, C. Bush, O. Bainbridge, T. White, R. Booty, T. Allarakhia, D. Cashman, Z. Brunt and J. Bird.
Following the cup match, the focus shifts back to the league. Wigan's next third tier game is at home to Barnsley on Saturday 14 November, a contest against another side near the foot of the table as Barnsley currently sit 23rd.
