We live in truly unprecedented times, it feels like it’s been a constant curve of sheer madness since 2016 but the last few weeks have really ramped that unprecedented feeling up a notch. How does this relate to Latics I hear you ask? Well sadly if the experts are to be believed (remember them? Seems […]
Three matches – three wins, nine points, five goals, zero conceded. What a remarkable week for Paul Cook and his Wigan Athletic side. I asked last week had Latics managed to turn a corner in the fight against the drop, I think it’s safe to say they definitely have. The fight now is to ensure […]
Has a corner been turned? There have been positive signs of life for Wigan Athletic since the Christmas period, though results didn’t necessarily follow. In the 15 matches since that defeat to Luton at the start of December Latics have only lost four times. More importantly since the defeat to Preston at the start of […]
So near, yet so far. Latics are improving – no doubt about that. The question is if that improvement can continue and if Latics have enough to stay up. It’s still too early to say but the next fee weeks should give us a clearer idea of our fate. Saturday’s match against play-off chasing Cardiff […]
Lightning doesn’t strike twice or so the saying goes, whoever wrote that clearly hasn’t visited Elland Road with Wigan Athletic. I travelled over the Pennines to Leeds on Saturday more in trepidation than expectation. The buzz from that last minute Jamal Lowe winner against Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday was in mind as I left Manchester […]
They say you often have to hit rock bottom before you can begin to see a change, and a change is definitely what we saw on Tuesday night. First off let’s look at the starting line-up and the first half – Joe Gelhardt earned his first start for the club and was part of a […]
Anyone who’s listened to the podcast might find this hard to believe but I try to work on the principle of “if you’ve nothing to say, say nothing”. Keep your trap shut, listen to what other people have to say and only join in the conversation when you can add to it. It’s certainly never […]
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 […]
I’ve had some disappointment in my time watching Latics but none left me feeling quite as empty as Saturday’s defeat to Bristol City did. Another dominant Wigan Athletic performance where Paul Cook’s side looked like they would make it back to back wins, instead we managed once again to snatch defeat from the jaws of […]
Welcome to Episode 66 of the Podcast in which Jimmy, Alan, Chris and Luke talk around the elephant in the room waiting for someone to scream “COOK OUT”. There’s New Year’s resolutions. Made up stats, TV and Brexit flavoured train tapas. Oh, and V… A… effin R. Of course there’s way too much football. You […]
