As week’s go that’s one I wouldn’t want to repeat in a hurry. There was a feeling last week that I haven’t felt for a while, probably not since Gary Caldwell was so unceremoniously dumped in favour of Warren Joyce. A situation that made no sense then and makes even less sense now. Now […]
‘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 […]
April 9th saw Wigan Athletic travel to Lincolnshire to face Lincoln City, a 3-1 win over Michael Appleton’s side coupled with defeat for Rotherham at Charlton would see Latics strengthen their grip on top spot in League One. It had been a strong seven days for Leam Richardson, a hard earned draw over the best […]
Seven points in a week, seven points ahead of Rotherham with five games remaining. Back in February when we were staring down the barrel of a month’s worth of matches to fit in and Rotherham sweeping everything aside it’s a position we’d have taken when offered it every day of the week. But for some […]
It always amazes me at Wigan Athletic, with all of our history with late goals and comebacks there’s still a sizeable amount who depart before the final whistle each week without fail. Even this season knowing what had come against Rotherham, Cambridge, Plymouth and countless others. Would you leave? Thelo Aasgaard thankfully went right to […]
There are away days and there are classic away days and Saturday’s trip over to East Lancashire definitely falls in to the latter. After eighteen months without live football and a nine month period where the club’s very existence was at threat it’s an amazing feeling to be back in grounds again, Saturday was my […]
Saturday definitely had the feeling of after the Lord Mayor’s Show for me. The excitement of three matches unbeaten and a takeover virtually completed gave way to that familiar feeling of Latics being just not quite good enough. Saturday’s match with Accrington started in the finest possible way. A Callum Lang goal within the opening […]
There’s definite signs of life, it’s not perfect by any stretch yet but there’s progress. Despite losing against Lincoln on Saturday Latics provided the best response to the 5-0 drubbing against Hull. A performance that was full of plaudits and a performance were Latics were well worth a point if not at all three. A […]
The blows keep raining down, like a boxer curled up on the floor of the ring with the referee stood over for the count. It really is a case of how much more can Wigan Athletic take? How much more can this club, this fanbase, this beleaguered coaching staff take? If December had seen positive […]
**Written before the news that the Spanish takeover of Wigan Athletic had collapsed. Revel in the relative positivity of seven days ago** How do you even begin to look back on the last twelve months? I’ve tried and failed to start this intro three times now. There is simply no way of dressing it up […]
