Jabo Ibehre, on loan from Colchester, commended the Latics' fans for the part they played in Saturday's defeat of Bradford City.
Ibehre said, “You could really hear the fans, which is great, especially down at the Chaddy End. They are awesome. They just keep on going all game and it gives you that extra boost. We’re really grateful for it. It was a tough game and sometimes you have to win in different ways. We held in there and were very resilient. Winning like that is sometimes even better, as everyone put everything on the line.”
“Hopefully with a few more games and a bit of extra sharpness I will start notching the goals. We put our best foot forward and keep going into Bristol City. There is great team spirit at the moment and belief. We take the games as they come.”
Lee Johnson added, “I really enjoyed the atmosphere. It was superb. I love it when this place is like that. It was bouncing.”
