I'm sure a lot of pundits will be saying how we earned a 'precious' point on Wednesday against Portsmouth, but surely we should expect to be beating a bottom of the table club who could barely scramble together a full team ?

Fair play to Pompey. They made life very difficult for us and although if you look at some of the possession and shots on target stats it looks like we murdered them, we never broke them down and were exceptionally wasteful in front of goal.

It has to be said that the way Portsmouth's players have handled themselves this season really is a credit to football. In fact, they're almost in danger of giving footballers a good name. I can only stand back and admire the hard work and spirit they've shown for most of the season. Let's face it, the deduction of nine points left them immediately effectively relegated but they still go into every game showing a huge amount of desire. They put a lot of teams in our league to shame.

Back to Wigan and our slow, ambling, painful crawl to safety. I genuinely think we'll stay up - just. I think we're amazingly lucky this season though - any other season and we'd have gone down. We've just been fortunate that there are three worse teams then us this year - Portsmouth with probably the most bizarre top flight season in living memory and the general awfulness of Hull and Burnley.

I don't know what other readers think but I'm not sure we deserve to stay up out of any qualities we've displayed. We merely seem to be staying up because three other teams have been dire. Would you describe us as one of those teams that are 'too good to go down' ? I certainly wouldn't.

To say we were disappointing tonight is like saying that Tiger Woods has had the odd relationship problem lately. We just never looked that sharp upfront and Portsmouth could always cope with whatever we threw at them and I'm sorry but as hard as he tries Jason Scotland is just NOT a Premier League striker. Another game from him where chances went begging and the Latics fans have well and truly started to lose their patience.

Also, why did Victor Moses only come on after the 88th minute? Jason Scotland has had so many chances in a Wigan shirt and has not taken them (quite literally) ....I know Moses is still young but surely he deserves more of a chance than just a five minute run out?

But I guess winning this game comfortably and easily pulling clear of the relegation zone wouldn't be our style would it?

By the way...who would get your vote for Wigan's player of the season ? ...I'd be interested to hear your thoughts. Thanks for reading.
