It’s amazing how quickly the positivity levels can return. A hard earned point, that really should have been all three in London was followed up by one of the performances of the season, and a win to upset the form book at play-off chasing Lincoln. After a handful of poor performances following the international break […]
The release of last week’s financial accounts made for sobering reading for all Wigan Athletic supporters. Never again can this club be allowed to reach the state it did and never again can we allow those that don’t have Wigan Athletic’s best interests at heart to use the club in the way it had been […]
50 points, not the old school 40 points of Premier League yesteryear but 50. That’s what Shaun Maloney had pinpointed as the target for remaining in League One, in this most unique of seasons. In recent weeks, certainly since the turn of the year we’ve made huge strides in that direction with some really important […]
I suppose the good run had to come to an end at some point, shame it was down to a horrific first-half showing. I’m not ready to throw these young lads under a bus though, quite yet. Coming in to Saturday’s game we suffered one loss in fourteen matches in all competitions. That’s an amazing […]
No one does coming back down to earth like Wigan Athletic, a simple narrow defeat? No not for us for we are Wigan Athletic and we can’t do normal. We either have to be the best in the world or the worst in the world (in the eyes of some of our support at least) […]
‘He’s lost the dressing room and the supporters, it’s time to go’, ‘time to get rid, it’s not working’. Really? Is this how we’re going to do this? Has the town of Wigan had a collective case of amnesia? Was the opening month of the season so good that it’s blinded us to the very […]
“We’re back and we’re ready for it all over again” No not Jeremy Corbyn in the 2017 general election but Wigan Athletic. I’ve spent the last few weeks talking about how we very nearly didn’t make it here, but make it we did thanks to the hard work of many. It’s going to be a […]
There was a time around about May where it felt like writing a season preview may be one for the memory bank. I don’t think it’s dramatic to state that when we left the Dave Whelan Stadium following the Rotherham game many of us wondered whether we would ever be back. It seems churlish to […]
Over the last few weeks, and certainly the last few days my faith has been shook. The seismic events that have been a slow burn since last autumn are seemingly coming to a head. What we know is that Phoenix 21 are on their way out. Already gone are Mal Brannigan, Oliver Gottman and Tom […]
So near, yet so far. Latics have finally roared to life but for all intents and purposes it’s about a fortnight too late. Back to back wins for the first time under Shaun Maloney and some fabulous performances all over the pitch against Millwall made our impending relegation even more frustrating. On our day we […]
