Oh Wigan Athletic you contrary football club. How we’ve missed you. So after that glorious win over Fleetwood it was back to the focus of the cup’s this week and it’s fair to say Saturday didn’t exactly go to plan. A strong side was named by Leam Richardson, in his own words treating the cup […]
Arsenal, West Ham, Chesterfield, Gillingham – a series of clubs you would never normally lump together but all have something in common and after Tuesday we can add Fleetwood Town to that list. All have been 2-0 up and flying in games before Wigan Athletic staged Lazarus like comebacks to eventually triumph. All of those […]
As Bob Geldof and the boomtown rats once sang I don’t like Mondays, well I don’t like Tuesday’s. It’s been a right old struggle at home on Tuesdays this season. Wycombe was a good performance and of course we had that win over Bolton but since then. Deary me. Latics once again followed the script […]
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 […]
