PRESS CONFERENCE |
re the Wigan game
""We have to put it in a bit of perspective.
"You drop points in the second half of the season.
We have done it most years. There has been an odd
year when we have gone on a long run without losing
but a couple of years back we lost 4-1 to Liverpool
and won the league.
"You do drop points on the run-in. City and
ourselves have both experienced that.
"But from the position we were in a few months ago,
to where we are today, we have to be delighted.
"The great part of our club is that we do recover,
and we have to recover from Wednesday."
