After taking League One by storm last season, Wigan Athletic have struggled to adapt to life back in the Championship this season.

But under new boss, Warren Joyce, they are finally showing signs of life.

Gary Caldwell began the season in charge at the DW Stadium but a poor start lead to the Scot being sacked in October, to the surprise of most Wigan fans.

His replacement was the Manchester United Under 21 boss, Warren Joyce, who has showed that he could well be a success at Wigan, with some good performances tied in with a few decent results.

However, the Latics still find themselves embroiled in a relegation battle and it will take a magnificent run to pull themselves out of it.

Joyce certainly put his own stamp on the squad in January, bringing in a wealth of players, including eight on deadline day.

However, there is more Wigan could have done to make it a more successful window.

Here, I will look at two pieces of business Wigan should have done in January...

Max Power

Power was the subject of some bids in the January window; money which was almost too good to turn down for Wigan but they stood firm and kept hold of their main man.

The sale of Yanic Wildschut meant that the Latics didn't need to sell Power, but the money that was on offer for him last month should have been accepted.

Wigan are highly unlikely to get the same money they offered for Power in the summer and if Wigan are to be relegated, then teams will try and take him for very little.

David Cotterill

Cotterill left Birmingham for Bristol City last month on loan until the end of the season, but Wigan should definitely have been in the mix for his signature.

After selling Yanic Wildschut, it left a huge hole on the wing for Wigan, which Cotterill could have filled perfectly had they signed him.

Cotterill's playing style is also quite similar to Wildschut's and it would seem like he would've slotted nicely into the Wigan attack, bringing a vast amount of Championship experience too.
