The crew are a bit deflated this week following the home defeat to Blackpool, Dan's excellent 'off the terrace' report soon lifts the spirits though. Gareth gives us the games stats and we try to understand just what went wrong.

We have an on location interview with Latics striker and Northern Ireland international Will Grigg, no turkey on Christmas Day for Will.

We take a look ahead to Saturday and our trip to Barnsley with the usual ref watch and crew predictions.
