LATICS v COVENTRY TALKING POINTS

Players and staff showing their appreciation to the Latics fans

STAY OR GO? Only four players are under contract for next year as it stands. Those looking for clues as to who will be offered the chance to stay on will have been interested at a team selection that saw Dominic Poleon make a rare start.

SET PIECES: Athletic didn’t look anything like fluent going forward here, but the nature of the first goal conceded was again frustrating. It came direct from a corner, as the opener had at Millwall in the last outing.

THE FINAL CURTAIN: The hard work had already been done before kick-off, with Athletic safe with two games to go. This has been a long, turbulent season that many will be glad to see the back of.
