Wigan Athletic manager Roberto Martinez is pleased with the way midfield duo Mohamed Diame and Hendry Thomas are working together.

The two players have been virtual ever-presents so far this season following their arrivals at the DW Stadium in the summer.

Martinez said: "It's important when you're on the pitch that you have an understanding and you create certain partnerships.

"For the way we play, with certain players it happened straightaway and with other players it takes a bit longer.

"The language helps as they can communicate and help each other to perform. I would say every single player has had that feeling, everyone has adapted really well and quickly.

"Obviously some players perform straightaway on top of their game and that's because of little details like finding a partnership or reaching the point where they're enjoying their football.

"Hendry and Momo have actually done that at the start of this campaign. When you perform well you enjoy your football and when you enjoy your football, you tend to adapt quickly."
