Martinez hoping for lucky break

06 March 2011 14:00
Roberto Martinez is confident his Wigan side will get the slice of luck required to propel them towards Barclays Premier League safety. For the second weekend running, the Latics were left cursing after failing to gain any reward for their efforts. This time they fell victim to Manchester City, or rather Ali Al Habsi's embarrassing first-half mistake, which condemned them to another week at the foot of the table. With only nine games remaining, time is starting to run out for Martinez's men, but the Wigan manager insists his side's performances are such they only need one thing to go their way and safety will be secured. "Sometimes you need a bit of luck in one game and that triggers a successful run," he said. "The Premier League is an unforgiving place and football sometimes doesn't give you what you deserve. "But at the end of the season I believe it will."
