"We didn't play well at all and lost the game in the first half, basically," he says.
"In the second half I thought we did a bit better but it was nowhere near enough.
"We have got to bounce back; I know everyone says that but we have got to go out there and show we should be beating teams.
"They are a good side but we shouldn't be getting beaten at home."
Anton, who made his debut for England U21s against Ukraine on Tuesday - Nigel Reo-Coker was a second half substitute in a 3-1 win - is mature enough to acknowledge that adverse crowd reaction towards a side when they are not doing well is to be expected, and adds:
"I didn't notice because I was playing the game but if that was the case it was because they weren't seeing what they wanted to see - they are paying good money.
"On the day Wigan worked harder than us, which shouldn't happen - and we have got to make sure we put that right.
"We have got to stick together and show we are a tight unit.
"The Wigan game is gone and we have to look forward to the next game and make sure we get the three points on Saturday; it is only three games in and there are loads more to come."
