Titus Bramble claims he was often made a scapegoat for Newcastle's
defensive frailties and believes he is now proving his worth at
Wigan.
There were many occasions during Bramble's five years on Tyneside
that he failed to live up to his £5million price tag following his
move from Ipswich.
"I know I was often criticised when I was at Newcastle. At times I
thought it was fair, but at others I thought they were looking for
a scapegoat, and that was me.
"I was big enough to take it, but I was glad to move and now I am
playing every week, whereas at Newcastle I was in for a few games
and then out for a few.
"Playing week in week out is something every footballer needs for
consistency, and I think my performances are reflected in
that.
"Against Liverpool, that was one of my best since I joined Wigan,
but then as a team we were outstanding.
"We've done well all season, and against Liverpool we showed the
spirit we have in the team because to match them was fantastic. We
deserved a point at least.
"As long as we continue to play the way we did on Saturday, then we
will win more games than we lose."
