Andreas Granqvist and Kristofer Haestad both enjoyed their debuts for Wigan Athletic. However they were unhappy with the result as the Latics dropped out of the FA Cup against Portsmouth.
Here's what they had to say.Andreas Granqvist
"It's horrible to lose like that, especially as we felt we deserved to at least get a replay from the game. I suppose it's an incredibly hard lesson for me as to how hard the Premiership is going to be, because when you're marking players of such high quality, a moment's hesitation and you can be punished.

"For me, to play in England is a dream and I think I coped pretty well with the pace and power of the game. It has just given me a taste for more now, and I will be doing all I can to keep my place for Chelsea. That's all that matters to me now."
Kristofer Haestad
"The result spoiled the debut, especially the way it happened, but we are a good team and the confidence in the dressing room is great. We just need to keep our heads up and fight through a tough period.
"It was great to play for the team. The pace was pretty fast and I'm confident I'll be able to adapt. Like Andreas, I would love to feature at Chelsea, and will be training hard and focusing all my energies on that in training this week."
