Wigan manager Paul Cook said:

"I'm always a manager who fully backs his players. But I'm at my wits' end with them at the moment. That's nowhere near where we want to be as a team and as a club.

"Supporters clapping you off at the end is what I pride myself on as a manager. They travelled 250 miles and aren't clapping us off after that, that's for sure.

"If results stay the same then someone else will be speaking to you. That's how football is. That's the nature of the game and how it is."
