Saturday definitely had the feeling of after the Lord Mayor’s Show for me. The excitement of three matches unbeaten and a takeover virtually completed gave way to that familiar feeling of Latics being just not quite good enough. Saturday’s match with Accrington started in the finest possible way. A Callum Lang goal within the opening […]
Is the nightmare nearly at an end? Is there light at the end of the tunnel? Will there be sunshine when skies are grey? It feels too good to be true, we’ve been burnt too many times in the last year – it feels like it still can’t be real. But real it is and […]
What a difference a week makes, I’ve written that what feels like a million times this season. But the difference between this week and last week has been clear. Last week was tough for the Wigan Athletic faithful. In a year where the kicks have kept on coming last week felt one of the worst […]
Let me tell you what I can’t get my head round. Our young players. We simply haven’t brought a single bad egg through the academy. I’m not talking about ability here, I am talking about the fact that they are almost all, to a (young) man, superb human beings. They are a nice bunch of […]
Last week I wrote about signs of life, I apologise. I don’t know what came over me, for any signs of life in Wigan Athletic have surely been choked out of us in the last seven days. Let’s tackle on the pitch matters first shall we? That last minute winner from Scott Wootton already feels […]
Heartbreaking. That is it in a word. We are a boxer on the ropes, we have our hands behind our back and people are taking it in turns to repeatedly punch us. I have had periods of utter despair in my mind over the past nine months with what is happening to our football club. […]
There’s definite signs of life, it’s not perfect by any stretch yet but there’s progress. Despite losing against Lincoln on Saturday Latics provided the best response to the 5-0 drubbing against Hull. A performance that was full of plaudits and a performance were Latics were well worth a point if not at all three. A […]
Well, it is character building if nothing else. Hear me out here, but just as every football club has their days in the sun, we’ve also got to accept our periods in the doldrums. Whether we deserved for it to happen in such a disastrous, malicious manner is a point for discussion, most Wigan Athletic […]
The blows keep raining down, like a boxer curled up on the floor of the ring with the referee stood over for the count. It really is a case of how much more can Wigan Athletic take? How much more can this club, this fanbase, this beleaguered coaching staff take? If December had seen positive […]
It’s been another frustrating week for Wigan Athletic – on the pitch at least. A trip to Northampton that was a classic six pointer was called off at the last minute due to a water logged pitch, that was after other six pointers against Wimbledon and Swindon had also been called off over the last […]
