Wigan boss Martinez counting on DW crowd to rattle Tottenham

Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez is hoping for a rocking DW for the visit of Tottenham.

The Spaniard is not under-estimating the effect a cracking home crowd can have on his team.

He told the Wigan Observer: "The extra support from the fans can be absolutely vital for us, it's so important. It can give players that extra yard. We saw that in the second half of the Birmingham game.

"The backing from the fans helped us kick on and that certainly made a difference.

"The environment at the DW was fantastic that day.

"We've got three home games left now and we need to recreate that atmosphere.

"I'd urge the fans to take advantage of these great offers - it can help everyone try and create moments that we'll remember for the rest of our lives. The fans can make that difference and help us all at Wigan in achieving our aims and being successful."
