‘We looked like we were back to our old selves’ – Paul Cook was clearly a happy man after the 2-0 win over Charlton, the first win since the opening day of the season and according to many the best performance since the opening day. So were Latics back to their old selves? And what […]
Breaking our mould and getting a podcast out that’s both topical and shorter than the length of your average commute! What’s next for The Pie at Night, an episode without recording issues? Nah, that’s too much to ask. Join Jimmy, Alan, Chris and Ian as they catch up on the Charlton game and look ahead […]
It’s a return to home comforts again for Latics this weekend with hopefully the added bonus of a boost to the side with the potential return of Josh Windass and Anthony Pilkington to Paul Cook’s ranks. It was another under par performance from Cook’s men at Hull last week but we did get a point […]
International breaks are really quite tedious aren’t they? I don’t share the same hatred of International Football that some do. The international programme is definitely an important part of the international calendar, it’s how it’s scheduled that’s the issue. To be finishing for the international break before the first month of the season is over […]
Wigan Athletic have played five games since that opening day victory against Cardiff and in the process have lost all five conceding ten goals in the process – not a good record whichever way you dress it up.

Hello darkness my old friend – new season new me? Not a chance as Wigan Athletic manage to start the new season much like they performed the most part last season. As Roberto would say let’s look at the positives – against Leeds we were very much in the game for long periods and if […]
Just think, in a couple of years, when the Northern Powerhouse has sorted itself out and Northern Trains have managed to how to run a rail service, Leeds will just be up the road. It’ll be easier to get there than Leigh. But for now, it’s not. In fact, it’s way too much of a […]
If the season so far was a film, it would probably be The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. I don’t get carried away when we win, and I don’t get carried away when we lose, and I find that is a pretty useful philosophy to follow given the hysteria which surrounds modern day football. […]
The less we speak about last Saturday the better, after the euphoria of the opening match with Cardiff this was as big a reality check as you could imagine. Paul Cook had spoken ahead of Saturday of how important it was to learn from last season’s disastrous defeat at Deepdale and he even explained how […]
What a difference a week makes, or rather in Wigan Athletic’s case the difference eight days can make. Prior to the end of July it had been a quiet old window for Paul Cook and didn’t social media let us know. Some of the angst shown by Latics fans over what was being portrayed […]
