It’s been a truly horrific start to the season for Wigan Athletic, there’s no way around it. We’re staring relegation to League Two in the face unless we start picking up results and picking up those results on a regular basis. The last seven days have been a perfect example of how our season has […]
Night and Day, no not the infamous Oldham Street Manchester venue but the difference between the Wigan Athletic performance against Stockport and Sheffield Wednesday. There was much trepidation heading over the Pennines after the previous Saturday but all of that was dispelled by arguably the best performance of the season. Latics arrived at Hillsborough rock […]
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 […]
Latics returned to reality with a bump on Tuesday night after the relative positivity of the first few weeks under Gary Caldwell’s leadership. Facing a resurgent Plymouth with an under strength side was always going to be a difficult ask. To do so with fresh rumours circulating about the ownership of the club made a […]
So here it is, the worst kept secret in football was revealed on Monday morning as Gary Caldwell returned to Wigan Athletic. If anyone had any doubts about Caldwell’s return they only need to watch his two long form interviews with both the BBC and the official club website. Caldwell was as impressive as one […]
We or rather the collective we, IE me – said that last week something had to change. Well we’ve now reached the point where that change required is immediate. Wigan Athletic need a change of management with urgency or for the first time in over thirty years Wigan Athletic could find themselves in the bottom […]
It has to change, somehow something’s got to change. We thought that change or rather that progression had finally come against Preston, but the more Saturday went on and the more disgraceful the performance it felt like we’d left everything on the pitch at Deepdale. Not because it was Wigan Athletic and it was the […]
League One is an absolute rollercoaster this season, as we approach the New Year ten points separate play-off chasing Stevenage and relegation zone dwellers Plymouth Argyle. Latics who it’s fair to say have been underwhelming for most of the Autumn rose to the heady heights of 12th with a crucial win over Burton but could […]
So much for my assertion last week that things were improving, things took a huge and somewhat worrying step backwards on Saturday afternoon. In seasons like this – where increasingly promotion looks beyond us the minimum that you would hope for is to succeed in the local derbies or at least put up a bit […]
It’s looking better isn’t it? Latics travelled to Huddersfield on Saturday happy to be in to the hat for the FA Cup third round but not exactly buoyed by the performance against Barrow last time out. A conservative line-up in the Pennines saw Christian Saydee as Latics only recognised striker but you wouldn’t have known […]
