New Wigan Athletic manager Malky Mackay has expressed confidence in both himself and his players to start climbing the Championship table.

The Latics are second-from-bottom with just three wins to their name all season, and Mackay is yet to win since taking over last month.

Yesterday they suffered their second straight defeat with a 1-0 loss at home to Mackay's former club Norwich City.

"For us to end up with that much possession in the game today but come away without a win is disappointing but something that we have to keep striving for," Mackay told the club website.

"There's nothing else for it but to work hard; I've been here three weeks, I've got a good, honest group of players and I know that but we've got to make sure we turn that into wins.

"That's why I'm here, that's what I do and I'll work from morning to night to make sure that we turn this around for Wigan Athletic."

Mackay's next opportunity for a win comes on Saturday when the Latics travel to playoff hopefuls Watford.
