Pawel Abbott's 24th-minute penalty eased the pressure on Latics boss Penney still further after a fourth game without defeat in League One. Penney said: "We knew it would be tough, their pitch has been well documented and it is difficult. "It's been nice to finally play the game though after a couple of postponements earlier in the season. "It's good to get the three points - this is a big win for us undoubtedly. "It was never going to be a great spectacle on a surface like this, but we had to defend well and Daryl Flahavan made a couple of good saves to keep us in it really. "We had to make sure we did the right things even though it is difficult to pass the ball, but we had willing runners all night. We gave away a few too many silly free-kicks but we move on now, this was a good result for us."
