“We will certainly adopt a more positive approach than Northampton.”
Key Wigan midfielder Sam Morsy will be suspended from Saturday’s game after collecting his fifth yellow card of the season last night.
Posh youngster Andrea Borg is now fit. Midfielder Callum Chettle will be the only injury absentee at the weekend.
