Looking up
It’s been a strange old week. It started full of optimism after a very strong performance against Barnsley in the EFL Cup the previous Saturday that should have never ended in defeat. Being bridged in the middle with an awful first half performance against Cambridge but a fightback of sorts. Before a win in the […]
It’s never dull is it?
It’s never dull is it (c) Understatement of the century that particular Wigan Athletic phrase. Another twenty four hours, another episode of upheaval, another period of instability. We should be used to them by now, but each time this happens the more damaging the feeling among the fanbase. So let’s recap […]

Breaking the code – Hull report
I reckon it would be easier to break the Enigma Code than it would to understand the inner workings of the minds of our team. 2 nil down and still playing the ball beautifully across the back line. If you asked anyone to predict the likely outcome from the Hull game on Saturday I […]
McCann silences his critics
When managers change clubs they often take with them players from their previous club. Roberto Martinez is a prime example in taking Antolin Alcaraz, Arouna Kone, James McCarthy and Joel Robles from Wigan.
