Wigan Athletic centre-back Titus Bramble says he will bounce back quickly from his glaring error in the 1-1 draw with Manchester City last weekend.

The 26-year-old gifted the Citizens a first-minute lead at the JJB Stadium, but Bramble insists he is not too worried by the mistake.

He told the Wigan Observer: "I will put it behind me and move on. I can't afford to dwell on it.

"Everyone makes mistakes, it's how you react to them. I'm confident in my own ability. I think I've done very well since I came here.

"People can write what they want about me and say what they want. The only opinions that count for me are the manager's opinion and my family's.

"My confidence has been sky-high from the beginning. Playing every game has helped me silence the critics. Playing week in week out, that's all you want as a footballer."

Meanwhile, Latics assistant manager Eric Black is confident that his new charges can build on their performance against City.

He told the club's official website: "We've stopped the rot now and, although the position is not ideal, we probably wouldn't have been brought in if things had been going well.

"We're not adrift yet, we know a couple of wins will see us right back in the pack and that has to be our immediate goal."
