            Wigan Athletic sit just five places above Shrewsbury in 14th. In 32 games, Wigan have 13 wins, six draws and 13 losses which leaves them on 37 points, just four points from the top half of the table.

            In their last five games in all competitions, Wigan have two wins and three losses.

Thelo Aasgaard regained the lead for Wigan before halftime but goals from Carl Piergianni and Louis Thompson gave Stevenage the 3 - 2 win.

            A brace from Aasgaard and a goal from Magennis gave Wigan the 3 - 0 lead going into the final five minutes. Despite the red card to Matt Smith and late goals from Josh Knight and Ricky-Jade Jones, Wigan held on for the 3 - 2 win.
