Latics boss: Defeat was 'torture'

Hartlepool's impressive 3-0 win meant it is now 10 league matches since the Latics managed a home victory - their worst spell since 1920.Goals from James Brown, Leon McSweeney and Denis Behan helped Pools remain unbeaten - and still to concede a goal - on the road this season.Penney said: "It was torture, frustration and disappointment, especially for the second goal when we made so many errors and it went through our keeper's hands."To get beaten 3-0 at home is an awful result and the sooner we put things right with a win here the better. You sense that when things are going against us there are not many characters or leaders out there."We are picking up more points away than at home and I don't know if that's because of pressure but it needs to be sorted out."
