| 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. | Kristofer Haestad |

"But we have to take a lot of positives from the match, as a team, and for me personally. We scored a great equalizer, and had chances to get the win."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."
