Spurs at home, West Brom away and Swansea at home are Wigan’s next three fixtures, with the minor distraction of an FA Cup final against Manchester City then coming before a trip to play Arsenal at the Emirates. “At this stage of the season you can look too far ahead and lose concentration on the day to day,” said Martínez. “It is a real shame we have nothing to show for our last two performances, because they have been as good as they can get really.”
Yet they scored in neither game and lost both. In that context, the Spaniard was asked, what makes him so confident that this will be, as he put it, the most memorable season in Wigan Athletic’s history?
“Because the players are in a great moment,” he replied. “It would be different if you looked at the squad and didn’t see how it was going to win football games, but the squad is ready to finish the season really, really strong.
“Lady Luck hasn’t been with us in the last couple of games, but if we carry on playing like this Lady Luck will get very close to us. What does worry me is we could lose bodies in the squad, Antolín [Alcaraz] coming off [with a soft tissue injury after 15 minutes] was a real blow because we prepared the game in a certain manner, then all of a sudden we lose him and I do feel the first goal would never have happened if Antolín is on the pitch.
“Those are the key moments when you need to be a little bit lucky, but if we keep working as hard as we did in the second half, the luck will come.”
