Leam Richardson: Wigan Athletic focus is on own performance in promotion race

Boss Leam Richardson says Wigan are focused on their own bid of winning promotion to the Championship, and not on other clubs' fortunes elsewhere.
Tuesday's goalless draw at Burton gave the Latics a four-point lead at the top of League One, while third-placed Rotherham lost 3-0 to Portsmouth.
While that result helps Wigan, it is what they do that interests Richardson.
"You've got to tick a box and secure more points than you did last year," he told BBC Radio Manchester.
"Then secure play-offs, then secure automatic, and then try to do something else.
"From our point of view, we don't necessarily look at other results, you know, it's important we left tonight with more points than we came with and I think we worked hard enough to do that."
Richardson's side are four points clear at the top of the table above second-placed MK Dons, while the gap is seven points to Paul Warne's Millers who are third.
