Roberto Martinez's Wigan braced for final day relegation battle as Fulham win through Philippe Senderos strike A year ago, Wigan hung on to top-flight status by grabbing victory at Stoke in a nerve-shredding finale to the campaign. Fast forward 12 months and though the auguries look more promising following recent triumphs over Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal, Martinez is still steeling himself for the ultimate test of character. We understand what we are. For Wigan to be seven years in the Premier League is an outstanding achievement and if we have to go to the last day of the season, so be it," Martinez said. We are prepared mentally as a club, every point is going to count and it could easily go to the last game of the season, and we need to be prepared for everyone. We will give our lives for more points. Wigan's run-in pitches them against Newcastle, Blackburn and, on the final day, at home to Wolverhampton. Martinez may be cautious but recent displays make them the likeliest of the relegation-threatened group to finish above the danger line. They might well have taken another big step at Craven Cottage but for their recent exertions catching up with them in the final third of the match. Three high-intensity matches in 10 days eventually took their toll, especially as a reinvigorated Fulham were coming off a 12-day break. Emmerson Boyce's thumping opener for Wigan just before the hour mark certainly sparked Fulham into life, with the equaliser coming almost immediately from Pavel Pogrebnyak, who should have had a second five minutes later when his shot bounced off the underside of the bar and appeared to cross the goal line before spinning back into play. The future of the Russian, who has made such an impact since his unheralded arrival on loan from Stuttgart at the end of January, is on manager Martin Jol's mind. We have made him a very good offer and he likes it here. I am confident," Jol sid. If he went to a top five club he might not play so much. With me, he knows he starts if he gives 100 per cent. I told him, there is not a lot of rivalry up front.
