Relief for Roberto as Latics win
Roberto Martinez breathed a sigh of belief after Wigan finally got their season up and running with a 3-0 Carling Cup win at Hartlepool.[LNB] Second-half goals from Jordi Gomez and Victor Moses added to an early own goal by Sam Collins to give the final scoreline a slightly flattering look.[LNB]Martinez said: "I am very pleased with many aspects. We showed energy and performance and we are starting to do things we were working on in the summer.[LNB]"In the Premier League we've been doing good things but at the wrong time. Today we did it at the right time and we are slowly gelling together."[LNB]One bleak spot for Martinez was a last-minute ankle injury suffered by substitute Moses which is likely to rule him out of next weekend's trip to Tottenham.[LNB]"It's unfortunate that we picked up a silly injury at the end and that is a big negative point. It was a really nasty tackle from behind but it's too early to tell the extent."[LNB]Hartlepool caretaker-boss Mick Wadsworth described the final scoreline as harsh. Wadsworth added: "If you'd have dropped down from Mars you'd struggle to know who the Premier League team was."[LNB]Meanwhile, Wadsworth appeared to distance himself from the possibility of taking on the manager's job full-time despite his side's unbeaten start to their league season.[LNB]Wadsworth said: "The chairman has got to decide if he wants someone from outside and I'll just carry on until then. I've heard nothing to the contrary.[LNB]"I've really enjoyed working here and what I enjoy more than anything is the training ground. I've never worn a tracksuit in my whole life in the dugout. I feel pushing 60 I'm a tracksuit coach."
