He's a leader, he's been amazing around the dressing room so it's devastating. And they're big games for us. "It's a good start. "But overall we need to be more clinical. I could only see from the side but it looked like there was contact. And the Latics could consider themselves unfortunate not to take the lead within minutes. New boy Martin Kelly made his mark for the visitors just after the hour. Wigan kept pushing as Blackburn began to run out of ideas during the first half. The Blackburn man was given way too much space down the right of Wigan's half but his finish was poor, with the striker signposting his shot as he prepared to pull the trigger.

Wigan Athletic started the Shaun Maloney era with a battling goalless draw at north-west neighbours Blackburn Rovers.

Latics then had a 'goal' chalked off when James McClean - who became a dad for the fourth time hours before kick-off - sent over a corner that was met by Kelly at the back post. Latics continued to look dangerous, though, with Callum Lang sending a snapshot from 25 yards just over the top corner, before seeing another effort from distance touched behind for a corner. The home side started well with Ben Brereton-Diaz racing clean through the left channel, with Latics indebted to Ben Amos for making a superb stop.

Rovers reporter Rich Sharpe picks out the talking points from the 0-0 draw with Wigan Athletic.

They can’t change the window, but they can their outlook. Rovers’ play has relied on clinical finishing, their 31 goals a reflection more about a lack of opportunities created than wasted chances. Thomas proved himself to be a willing ball carrier, hugging the touchline infront of the Riverside, and not being shy to deliver at the earliest opportunity. The sense of frustration inside Ewood Park was summed up by an attacking free kick ending up at the feet of Harry Pickering some 35 yards out. Jack Vale managed only 12 touches in his 61 minute appearance, his third successive league start. If the transfer window, and failing to add a striker, isn’t to be a repeated theme, then Rovers have to find solutions within.
