I would have liked to have finished a bit higher but overall OK.
Did Wigan finish where you expected them to?
At the start of the season I’d have settled for 11th place.
Who was Wigan's player of the year?
Titus Bramble
Who were the best players you saw play against Wigan?
At JJB as a team: West Ham first half, Man U after Tevez came on. Individual player: Rooney.
Who, if anyone, impressed you from Stoke?
Ryan Shawcross
What are your thoughts on Stoke City?
You did what you had to do last season and that was to stay up. Your brand of football was pretty much like ours under Bruce – dire to watch.
Where do you need to strengthen this summer?
Forward line and midfield but it depends who leaves over the summer.
Who'll be on their way out?
Kapo, Bouaouzan, King, Camara, Sibierski, Scharner (wants European football) there may be others but it depends on who Martinez decides to replace.
Wigan's best 11 of the season?
It depends what you mean as some players left and others came in during January. Players that actually played together as a team:

Kirkland
Melchiot, Bramble, Scharner, Figueroa
