Wigan Athletic: How they rated v Reading
Wigan Athletic (4-4-1-1):
Jamie Jones: 6 - Beaten from distance twice, admittedly to fine hits. Decent game in all other aspects.
Nathan Byrne: 7 - Settled back into the side and gives Latics an extra option going forward.

Hide AdChey Dunkley: 7 - Stood up strong in a much-changed backline.
Jonas Olsson: 6 - Encouraging debut although appeared to be at fault by losing his man for the winning goal.
Antonee Robinson: 7 - Good to see him back after four months out, pace caused problems down the left wing.
Michael Jacobs: 8 - Great work to lay on the opening goal and tireless shift in tracking back as well.

Hide AdReece James: 7 - Off the field as Reading made it 2-2, and perhaps unfortunate to concede the free-kick for the first goal.
Sam Morsy: 8 - Balanced getting stuck in while avoiding another booking with another ban approaching, inspirational display.
Nick Powell: 8 - Scored the opener, laid on (somehow!) the second goal, and great to see him back in the starting XI.
Gavin Massey: 8 - Excellent display down the flank before being subbed, along with Powell, as fatigue set in.Joe Garner: 7 - Got up the nose of the Reading defence as per, and on the spot to finish brilliantly to put Latics 2-1 ahead.

Hide AdKal Naismith (for Massey, 74): 5 - Brought on in unfamiliar right-wing berth and struggled to get to grips with the game.
Leon Clarke (for Powell, 78): 4 - Could not get involved at all, nothing stuck and allowed Reading to continue pressing.
Josh Windass (for Garner, 90): Might have been an earlier sub option, no time at all to do anything.
