It’s never dull following Wigan Athletic is it? Depressing maybe, dull? Never. After the thoroughly woeful performance against Brentford last time out a cloud hangs over Paul Cook and his team. Goodwill towards the gaffer had been built up over the last month or so with credible performances against Nottingham Forest, Derby County, Bristol City […]
As I write this its five days since that heart breaking 92nd minute winner for Swansea and I still don’t think it’s sunk in. In a ten day period we could well have had nine points and be sitting pretty in the relative safety of mid table obscurity. Instead we have one point and three […]
A point gained or two points dropped? It was another disappointing set of results on the road for Wigan Athletic this past week but the results don’t tell all of the story by a long stretch. Following up on the excellent win over Nottingham Forest a couple of weeks ago Paul Cook would have been […]
Anyone coming away from the latest fans forum on Tuesday night could have been forgiven for wonder what the problem is. So impressive were Darren Royle, Jonathan Jackson and Paul Cook that one would think we were riding high at the top of the league rather than languishing towards the bottom. In the lieu of […]
It has very much been a case of Jekyll and Hyde for Latics over the past few months, Jekyll representing Latics fantastic home form where they have tasted defeat only four times since the start of last season. Compared to their Hyde performances on the road where Paul Cook’s side only managed two away wins […]
‘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. I think there was a sea change on Saturday following that second half capitulation at Loftus Road. […]
