Boyce ready for battle
Following the victory over relegation rivals Birmingham City, the mood is high at Wigan Athletic. Full back Emmerson Boyce is confident of survival but believes it will go down to the final day. Boyce told the Wigan Evening Post: “As long as we can stay in touch during the next couple of weeks, there are games to come where we’ll fancy our chances of winning. “Games like Blackpool and West Ham are still to come, which will be the biggest games of our season, and the boys are confident they can do it. “Survival generally depends on your home form, and if we can come up with three wins out of three we’ll give ourselves a big chance of staying up. A couple of points on the road, and you’re more or less safe. “It’ll go right to the last day of the season again, but hopefully we can come up with some results of our own so we’re not relying on other teams losing to stay up.” The former Crystal Palance defender is likely to retain his place in the starting line up against Tottenham at the weekend after his impressive display in the victory over Birmingham.
