Lee Johnson was delighted after the 1-0 victory over Fleetwood Town on Saturday. Jonathan Forte scored the all-important penalty that gave the Latics their third successive victory and condemned the visitors to their first defeat of the season.
The manager commented, "What a difference a week makes. Seven days ago, everyone was as low as a snakes belly but three wins later and everyone is riding high and I'm delighted. It was a really tough game again but I thought we had the chances to put it to bed. I'm pleased with the squad throughout. Dominic has come in and has been fantastic on his debut and unlucky not to score one or two."
"Tuesday was a tough game mentally and physically so to come out here and put in that performance shows we have great spirit. It was a tough game for everybody, including the fans. It was constant switching hands of possession and counter attacks from both teams. I thought certain members through the core of our team were excellent. I thought Kelly and Jones were superb today. Fleetwood played a diamond and that can sometimes cause you problems but to compete like they did and be as tidy as they were, it helped us massively. Kelly's ball over the top for the goal was sublime and both of them were neat in possession."
"Carl Winchester has been superb this season. He's got himself going and we've also got him going. We always believed in him but his problem last season was his pre-season because he never got right physically. This summer we've had him on regime to bulk him up and get his fitness up to scratch. He's been Championship class at least since the start of the season. We've got to kick on now. Football can make you feel down again very quickly. Let's get this side ready for Gillingham and make sure we get this place pumping again."
