We've done the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 better than I expected with 14 points from eight and we're on two or three points more than
I had hoped”, Allardyce was quoted as saying to the media.

Latics have been struggling to perform brightly since the start of the 2012/13 campaign, and the former Blackburn http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rovers-c40385 has admitted that his side has a good chance of winning their back-to-back league games.
“Wigan haven't won at home this season so there might be a lack of confidence there, so if we can take advantage of that then we might do back-to-back wins”, Allardyce concluded.
