ANIMATED . . . David Dunn gets involved on the touchline
DAVID Dunn on his team's character after they battled back to earn a draw against 10-man Wigan:
"The lads worked very hard for each other. Don't forget, Wigan are a good side - they're going to be there or thereabouts at the end of the season.
"We started well and then went a bit off after they scored, but overall the players showed really good character in getting a point. Obviously, the sending-off helped us, but towards the end I thought there was only one team that was going to go on and win it.
"With a bit more patience at times in our build-up play we could have got the three points, but I can't complain too much. It's not always easy to play against a different formation like Wigan use, so we had worked a lot on it during the week. We did do better when we played on the front foot, though.
"I was pleased with a point, but a little bit disappointed we didn't go on and take three - but that will come.
"We've got to make things happen more as we go forward, but in terms of the endeavour and commitment from everyone, I couldn't have asked for too much more."
Dunn’s verdict on the defending during the lead-up to Max Power's opening goal.
"To start with, it was a poor throw-in for us. Like a few times already for us this season, our errors or bad decisions have led to an opposition goal. We'll be working on that in training, that's for sure."
