What a turnaround. From that toxic atmosphere against Luton (twice) to where we are now the change has been swift and remarkable. Five points in little over a week with only one goal conceded has been a fantastic start to life under Shaun Maloney. We’re not out of this by any stretch of the imagination […]
Is this the start? The start of the turnaround? It just has to be. It’s been so refreshing over the last manic couple of weeks to listen to Shaun Maloney. His knowledge and passion for the club has shone through and I think has led to the strange situation that the team bottom of the […]
It can’t continue, can it*? Played: Nine Lost: Six Won: Zero Drawn: Two For: Eight Against: 21 By all stretches it’s an abysmal record, by some stretch the worst record that a Wigan Athletic manager will have had. Is there any way of us turning this round? The chances are becoming slimmer by the week. […]
The nightmare before after Christmas had nothing on this, a day that had promised so much left Latics looking in a desperate state just at the wrong time. Kolo Toure’s side had been the better side for much of the early exchanges in the first half but were once again un-done by an early goal […]
‘It’s never dull’ they say, I wish it was. Just one normal footballing season for Wigan Athletic Association Football Club, that’s all I ask … Will never happen. Tuesday felt different, I don’t know why. Same line-up, same decent first half, same end result. Same as it’s been for a while but the end result […]
At what point does this become terminal? I’m sure I wasn’t alone thinking that on Wednesday evening. After the inevitable L was posted alongside Wigan 0-1 Stoke. Once again a half decent performance was rewarded with nothing, but perhaps it’s all we deserved? I’m not sure, all I do know is Blackburn apart Autumn has […]
Crisis, what crisis? No not the insight in to the mind of the current incumbent of Number Ten but the supposed crisis Latics were facing following the defeat to Cardiff on Saturday afternoon. In the space of seven days Leam Richardson went from hero to zero, before returning to hero again a couple of days […]
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 […]
There’s drama and then there’s DRAMA, Latics delivered the latter in spades on Saturday afternoon. After nearly three weeks without football it was like we had never been away last week with a resounding win over Oldham followed by that win over Blackburn. Mr Happy aka Tony Mowbray has Blackburn dreaming of a return to […]
Seven matches undefeated, no goals conceded in five games and the only surprise being that it was over three and a half months in between game six and seven on that run. In this new world that we live in Wigan Athletic made it very much like the old world, with an assured and confident […]
