Pressure was heaped on Michael Appleton as the fans turned on their head coach after witnessing a fourth straight defeat.
Here’s how Blackpool’s players rated following their setback at the DW Stadium...
1. Chris Maxwell - 5/10
Question marks over his control of his six-yard box once again after Wigan scored directly from a corner. Fans are calling for Grimshaw to return. Photo: CameraSport - Andrew Kearns
2. Callum Connolly - 6/10
A typical Connolly display really. Managed to stick in there despite limping and hobbling around for a good 20 minutes. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
3. Marvin Ekpiteta - 4/10
Cost his team with the red card. Far too hesitant in clearing the ball allowing the Wigan man to nip ahead before bringing him down as last man. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
4. Rhys Williams - 6/10
Impressed me with the way he stood up and took responsibility after the red. Took responsibility in Ekpiteta's absence. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
5. Dom Thompson - 6/10
Stuck to his task well in the main and made some important defensive headers when Wigan were getting balls into the box. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
6. Kenny Dougall - 6/10
Put Ekpiteta under pressure with a weak header for the red card back but did really well when having to fill in at centre back. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
