Martinez targetting six more points
Gonig into the final four games of the season, Latics boss Roberto Martinez has set his side the target of six more points to ensure Premier League survival. With homes games against Everton and West Ham United, away games against Aston Villa and Stoke City remaining, the target of six points would appear realistic. Speaking to the Wigan Evening Post, Martinez said: “We have to carry on with our good work in our last few home games – because the next four games will decide our destiny. “We need to start well and control the game, and we need to learn the lessons from the Sunderland game.” The Latics boss is also expecting a good crowd for the game against Everton at the weekend and he is hopeful that the 12th man can have a big impact. “The home crowd had a positive effect on Sunderland at the weekend, their players were allowed to raise their games,” Martinez added. “That’s what playing at home gives you, and the games against Everton and West Ham are two huge, huge games that will shape our season. “The help from our fans will be potentially decisive, and we need them more than ever on Saturday to be our 12th man.”
