Town 1-3 Wigan Athletic Saturday, 7th Feb 2004 21:40
Yet another dismal home performance saw the Blues to a 3-1 defeat against upwardly mobile Wigan Athletic. Goals from Jason Roberts, Nathan Ellington and Gary Teale put the Latics three-up before Shefki Kuqi netted a consolation for Town.
Tommy Miller recovered from his thigh injury and lined-up in the midfield with Jermaine Wright replacing Fabian Wilnis at full-back. Pablo Couñago and Chris Bart-Williams returned to the eleven after missing out at Coventry last week, Georges Santos dropping to the bench with the Blues moving back to 4-4-2.
Former Town loanee Alan Mahon made his debut for Wigan and received a warm welcome from the Town support when his name was read out prior to the kick-off.
Fitness Test for Miller Friday, 6th Feb 2004 13:51
Midfielder Tommy Miller will face a fitness test on Saturday ahead of the Blues live Sky game with Wigan Athletic. Miller has been suffering with a thigh problem but is expected to be fit to face Paul Jewell s side.
The former Hartlepool man trained on Thursday but was rested on Friday as a precaution. If he fails to make it, academy youngster Scott Mitchell will be called into the squad.
John McGreal is still out with his calf problem, while Fabian Wilnis will miss the next four-to-six weeks after injuring his shoulder at Coventry last week. Georges Santos is OK after picking up a shin injury at Highfield Road.
