So another season is upon us, got to say it feels a lifetime since that win over Bristol completed our season. So much has happened in the last three months, but things on the good ship Wigan Athletic seem relatively calm for the first summer in a couple of seasons. The ownership has completed their […]
Out of two cups in a week, one expected. One less so. There’s no dressing up Tuesday night’s defeat to Doncaster – it wasn’t good enough and I’ve no doubt Shaun Maloney will have told the players exactly that and if not Maloney then Graham Barrow certainly will have. We had a plum draw in […]
Time to concentrate on the league eh? I said I would be happy if we competed and compete we did, there was to be no 2018 style fairy tale but even being on the pitch in the first place is a fairy tale that I and many other supporters need reminding of. There was some […]
That’s more like it. We said, we needed a reaction after this international break and what a reaction we’ve seen. Two wins, four goals scored, zero conceded and a huge step forward after such a damaging last few weeks. Both wins were fantastic in their own way, but distinctly different performances. Against Gary Caldwell’s Exeter […]
It’s happening again, Bolton Wanderers it’s happening again” And arguably it was even more successful than first time around. In fact there’s no arguably about it. It was definitely more impressive than last time. I had real worries about visiting Bolton so early in the season. They had started very well, and were sitting pretty […]
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 […]
They couldn’t, could they? I mean there’s a chance? No. No. No. Get those thoughts out of your head immediately, it’ll only be all the more painful once the inevitable happens. Reading became the latest Championship club to be deducted points this week as the six chalked off by the EFL, means that Paul Ince’s […]
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 […]
© It’s never dull is it? Never has that seemed more apt than the last week. There was a headline used back in those heady days of 2015 ‘End of an Error’. That was in relation to the sacking of Malky Mackay after a ruinous period in the history of Wigan Athletic. Though that was […]
What a sorry state we’re in, a season that promised so much has truly descended in to the ridiculous. That win over Cardiff at the start of August feels a million miles away now and Wigan Athletic are truly staring in to the abyss as January draws to a close. The alarm bells were there […]
