MASSIVE AND DIFFERENT FEELING COMPARED TO…..
Shaun Maloney is under no illusion as to the size of Wigan Athletic’s FA Cup first-round tie at Exeter this weekend.
Latics prepare to make the long distance south – their second to Exeter in a fortnight – after the midweek defeat at home to Charlton.
While some may be tempted to think the switch in competition may lead to a more relaxed mindset – possibly with a few team changes – Maloney says that is absolutely not the case.
“Exeter is a huge game, a massive game for us,” said Maloney, who will once again face ex-Latics, Celtic and Scotland colleague Gary Caldwell in the technical area.
