Martinez delighted with winning momentum at Wigan

Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez feels momentum is with them after victory at Reading.

Victory was Wigan's second on the bounce after they booked their place in the FA Cup quarter-finals with a 4-1 win at Huddersfield last weekend.

Those victories have come after the club went to Tenerife for some warm-weather training that Martinez believes could be a turning point.

"After the warm-weather training I think we have re-focused," he said. "The first game back was against Huddersfield in the FA Cup. You have seen a large amount of players representing the club in both games.

"You can see our competitive edge, a focus and a real responsibility in the performance.

"It is a matter of keeping a winning feeling and keeping those standards.

"This was the last game in February and for us to be involved in two competitions is a good position to be in.

"We have to concentrate on winning our trophy in the league which is staying in this division, and every game is vital."
