Martinez still looking up
Wigan manager Roberto Martinez is confident that his side's lowly position will be only temporary.
The Latics are now in the bottom three after a 2-1 defeat at Manchester United, where Antolin Alcaraz andHugo Rodallega were both sent off in the second half.
Martinez said: "I think it is too early to judge from the table. We dropped two points in 94th minute against Newcastle and with three points in this league you are suddenly ninth and I will be asked if we're going to get into Europe. Both things are too premature.
"I'm very positive and confident about the season and that we are slowly going to fulfil our potential."
Martinez refused to comment on the individual sendings-off or the performance of referee Martin Atkinson, but admitted his players could have controlled themselves better.
He added: "It's not just those two incidents - this is one of the toughest places to come in European football and we allowed that frustration to develop over the small decisions, not the big calls. We should have controlled ourselves a bit better."
