Hughes reckoned this point could prove
valuable, especially as City had to come from behind and play the
last 25 minutes with 10 men after Zabaleta was sent off for his
second yellow card.
Hughes said: "This was a point we probably wouldn't
have got last year.
"Our mentality has changed with stronger characters
coming into the club and we were able to see it out fairly
comfortably in the end.
"In the circumstances we have to be reasonably happy
with a point. Wigan are a good team, as they showed against
Chelsea, and they will win more games than they lose here. They are
one of a number of teams capable of taking points off the Big
Four.
