Wigan Athletic defender Steve Gohouri admits they cannot afford defeat at West Ham United.
Latics take on West Ham this Saturday and after the disappointment at Old Trafford last weekend the defender is confident the squad have the mental and physical strength to produce a performance;
He told the club's website: "Antolin (Alcarez) and Hugo (Rodallega) are going to be a big loss for us against West Ham, and it's a massive game against a team we're in direct competition with.
"These are the games we have to be taking points from, it doesn't matter how we do it we just need to make sure we come back from Upton Park with points on the board.
"The squad is stronger than last season in numbers and mentally. We're together as a group and when one player has to sit out a game there are players ready to come in and show their quality."
