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 […]
It’s been a while since I sat down and put pen to paper or rather fingers to keys, regarding the most frustrating football club in the country. In that time we’ve once again been the better team in all of our league matches, playing Blackburn and Nottingham Forest off the pitch yet only managing one […]
A point gained, two lost? It’s a well-worn path travelled by this Wigan Athletic side this season. If our problem last season was scoring goals it’s moved on to hanging on to leads this season. Twice in the past week we’ve been ahead and unable to capitalise on our leads, in the case of Stoke […]
It’s never dull following Wigan Athletic is it? Depressing maybe, dull? Never. After the thoroughly woeful performance against Brentford last time out a cloud hangs over Paul Cook and his team. Goodwill towards the gaffer had been built up over the last month or so with credible performances against Nottingham Forest, Derby County, Bristol City […]
As I write this its five days since that heart breaking 92nd minute winner for Swansea and I still don’t think it’s sunk in. In a ten day period we could well have had nine points and be sitting pretty in the relative safety of mid table obscurity. Instead we have one point and three […]
Anyone coming away from the latest fans forum on Tuesday night could have been forgiven for wonder what the problem is. So impressive were Darren Royle, Jonathan Jackson and Paul Cook that one would think we were riding high at the top of the league rather than languishing towards the bottom. In the lieu of […]
It has very much been a case of Jekyll and Hyde for Latics over the past few months, Jekyll representing Latics fantastic home form where they have tasted defeat only four times since the start of last season. Compared to their Hyde performances on the road where Paul Cook’s side only managed two away wins […]
‘We looked like we were back to our old selves’ – Paul Cook was clearly a happy man after the 2-0 win over Charlton, the first win since the opening day of the season and according to many the best performance since the opening day. So were Latics back to their old selves? And what […]
It’s a return to home comforts again for Latics this weekend with hopefully the added bonus of a boost to the side with the potential return of Josh Windass and Anthony Pilkington to Paul Cook’s ranks. It was another under par performance from Cook’s men at Hull last week but we did get a point […]
