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 […]
Ten games left, ten cup finals, ten games in order to right the horrific wrongs of the summer of 2020. Can Latics do it? On the evidence of the last week – most definitely. As disappointing as the penalty shoot out defeat to Sutton was, Leam and the lads followed up in the best way […]
Oh dear, so despite the hype there’s no triumphant Wembley return for Wigan Athletic this year. I couldn’t make the final (if we’d have reached it) so maybe wasn’t as invested in the semi-final with Sutton as the rest of the fan base last night. I’m disappointed for everyone who was looking forward to a […]
We’ve not had many crises this season. If any at all, I suppose not winning on a Tuesday was an irritant more than anything else. But after each defeat this season we’ve managed to bounce back and once again Latics did that on Tuesday night against Fleetwood. Sunderland was probably the low point of the […]
think there was a lot of trepidation heading in to February – by some stretch it was going to be the key month of the season for Wigan Athletic. Playing a number of re-arranged matches alongside facing five of the current top ten including league leaders Rotherham and promotion chasing Wycombe made it feel key. […]
Well that last week felt like the proverbial kick in the unmentionables. Was it a kick up the backside we needed though? Time will tell. Let’s not dress up the Sheffield Wednesday performance, despite shading the first half, hitting the post and Tom Naylor spurning a golden chance we hadn’t looked anything like our best […]
Always look on the bright side of life, as Eric Idle and Monty Python once sang and frankly that’s a line that a lot of Latics fans need right now. A draw against Oxford wasn’t the worst result on Tuesday, coming off the back of a disappointing draw at Cheltenham probably didn’t help but some […]
It’s been quite the re-introduction to football hasn’t it? After the self-enforced break over Christmas Latics have come roaring back, with the country stepping back from the precipice of further restrictions that seemed inevitable after that Oxford match it’s made the last few weeks even more exciting. Tuesday nights win in the Pizza Trophy makes […]
In a terrible twist on words is it time for Sir Humphrey to step up? Not Sir Humphrey Appleby but our own Stephen Humphries. Another remarkable week for Wigan Athletic, not without it’s controversy it must be admitted but a remarkable week all the same. It’s six points from six in Wigan Athletic’s return to […]
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 […]
