How very Wigan, how very Wigan indeed. It was written in the stars really wasn’t it? A performance like that at Bolton followed up by well that against MK Dons. I don’t feel the performance on Tuesday was half as bad as it was made out to be. Yes we were poor against franchise FC […]
A trip to the best team in the league beckons for Wigan Athletic on Saturday afternoon. But we’ve already travelled to Sunderland I hear you say, is it Plymouth then? Nope. Well Wycombe then? No it’s our friends over the hill in Horwich. Best team in the league Bolton Wanderers, who currently sit in eighth […]
After the defeat against Sheffield Wednesday it was important Latics bounced back and went in to the international break on the back of a positive result and what a way to do it. In horrific conditions Leam Richardson’s side utterly dominated proceedings at a ground we hadn’t won at since 2004. Seventeen years is a […]
What is that I detect? A bump in the road. I’d like to think it’s more of a pothole than one of those sleeping police men that ruin your suspension. You can’t win them all as the old saying goes and the ironic thing is we could and probably should have won on Tuesday night […]
There are away days and there are classic away days and Saturday’s trip over to East Lancashire definitely falls in to the latter. After eighteen months without live football and a nine month period where the club’s very existence was at threat it’s an amazing feeling to be back in grounds again, Saturday was my […]
In the past there’s always been somewhat of an international hangover with Wigan Athletic and I don’t mean the kind brought on by those naughty Belgian ales (looking at you Neil Myers). No I mean that traditionally following an international break Latics have taken a little while to get back in to the swing of […]
International breaks are a real pain aren’t they? Don’t get me wrong, I love watching England and I enjoy international football. I’m not one of those who would do away with the international calendar. I understand why it’s so integral to world football. But nonetheless when an international weekend comes along and inevitably ruins a […]
It comes to something when the most disappointing aspect of the opening month of the season was a draw against Wolves Under 21’s in the Pizza Cup and a subsequent penalty shoot out defeat. There’s no point spending time worrying about Tuesday, the real business of the evening came off the pitch and as promised […]
Football is most definitely back! Not content with a last minute winner against Rotherham earlier this month so Latics went two better at Charlton with late goals from Tendayi Dawrika and the returning James MCclean to seal victory over Charlton. A return of seven points from the first four fixtures. Especially when you consider who […]
Four points from the first three games, not a bad return considering we ended last season with five contracted players. Not bad either considering everything our club had to go through last season to even get to this point of starting the season. This seems to be forgotten by everyone else in League One at […]
