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 […]
In which, after a two-and-a-half-year hiatus, Jimmy, Alan and Chris carry on like nothing has ever happened in the hope that no one will notice. If they even listen at all, that is. There’s been plenty of water under the bridge since the last time we took to the airwaves and Jimmy bravely starts by […]
It’s been a strange old week. It started full of optimism after a very strong performance against Barnsley in the EFL Cup the previous Saturday that should have never ended in defeat. Being bridged in the middle with an awful first half performance against Cambridge but a fightback of sorts. Before a win in the […]
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 […]

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 […]
“The more things change, the more they stay the same” So the post Lowe era began with less of a bang and more of a whimper – that’s unfair really, there was definite improvements but sadly not enough for a result on the night. Latics started off so brightly in contrast to the last few […]
All isn’t well at the Brick Community Stadium at the moment and it shows. First off let’s give full credit to Hemel Hempstead Town, The Tudors as they’re affectionally known should be the ones in the Second round – not us. Ryan Lowe admitted as much after Saturday’s game, I think without penalties Hemel would […]
Another week, another two points on the board and an unbeaten stretch now running to three matches. Yes Stevenage wasn’t great, but against both Bristol and Lincoln we were the better side against two teams who have started the season in decent form. Stevenage saw a glut of changes but certainly in the first half […]
