There’s some games that you know, even early on that they’re going to be remembered fondly. As Saturday’s match went on you felt something special was brewing. Latics had struggled to get to grips with Birmingham in the opening ten minutes or so, when Joe Bennett was incorrectly sent off it felt like it was […]
It’s been some week for Wigan Athletic, another point on the board from a tough away match at Norwich along with the signing of one of League One’s top stars last season – Nathan Broadhead. Looking back at Norwich and apart from the first quarter of the match we were more than worth a point, […]
I think any concerns about whether we could compete at this level were expelled on Saturday evening. A hard fought local derby against those lads from up the M6 showed that we can and will compete at this level. Unfortunately the injuries are piling up now, Jack Whatmough the latest to pick up a knock […]
So here we go, ready to do it all again? It feels like this season has come around quicker than any previously, and that’s probably true. Thanks to the winter World Cup it means we’ll be starting earlier than ever before and finishing later than ever before, with a near month long break in the […]
April 9th saw Wigan Athletic travel to Lincolnshire to face Lincoln City, a 3-1 win over Michael Appleton’s side coupled with defeat for Rotherham at Charlton would see Latics strengthen their grip on top spot in League One. It had been a strong seven days for Leam Richardson, a hard earned draw over the best […]
Nearly there Wigan, nearly there. One last push is all it will take, one last stretch through tired legs and those legs are tired now. Don’t let anyone tell you this Wigan Athletic side aren’t deserving of promotion if it does indeed come this Saturday. A team that had four contracted players at the start […]
Seven points in a week, seven points ahead of Rotherham with five games remaining. Back in February when we were staring down the barrel of a month’s worth of matches to fit in and Rotherham sweeping everything aside it’s a position we’d have taken when offered it every day of the week. But for some […]
Another game, another week closer. There’s not much left now standing between Wigan Athletic and a return to the Championship. Seven matches remain which will determine our fate this season and after the absolute heartbreak of 2020/21 it’s amazing to think where we could be after that Shrewsbury match. That was the only sour point […]
So here we are again, the business end of the season. The run in, the final furlong, the finishing line in sight – it’s hard to think that the season has just four weeks left to run. After the awful circumstances in which we spent last season locked out of a stadium that we didn’t […]
Nothing is guaranteed but Wigan Athletic have taken a big stride towards a Championship return in the last week. A hard earned point at Milton Keynes (that really should have been all three) followed by a steady if unspectacular win against Crewe and Saturday’s dispatch of Morecambe sees Latics going in to the final run […]
