A win for Silko Thomas and Wigan Athletic against Bristol Rovers
The League 1 club move up to 16th following the 2-0 success
Goalkeeper Brad Young remained on the bench for Hartlepool United
Playing 87 minutes at Brick Community Stadium, the 20-year-old could make his 30th appearance of the campaign in the Latics’ trip to Peterborough United tonight (Tuesday) – a 7:45pm kick-off at Weston Homes Stadium.
Rising up to 16th after two wins in three, Shaun Maloney’s side then host Lincoln City on Saturday (3pm kick-off).
Brad Young, meanwhile, was an unused substitute during Hartlepool United’s 1-1 draw with Woking at Victoria Park at the weekend. Now in the top half of the Vanarama National League, the goalkeeper will be in contention to face Barnet at The Hive Stadium this evening (7:45pm kick-off).
Elsewhere, several youngsters have returned from loans, including Brandon Cover, who made 19 appearances for Port Vale in League 2, scoring twice, and leaving the Valiants inside the play-off positions, sitting sixth.
Sammy Braybrooke’s spell at Dundee has come to an end following eight appearances across all competitions for the Scottish Premiership club, while Amani Richards is back from his time at Exeter City in League 1.
The 20-year-old winger netted once in six matches, with the Grecians 17th in the table as things stand.
