It doesn’t feel a minute since that day in August when Wigan Athletic took to the pitch again. It had been preceded by a summer where supporters were unsure if the club would ever take to a pitch again. Let alone take to a pitch against promotion favourites Derby County and not only beat them, […]
It’s amazing how quickly the positivity levels can return. A hard earned point, that really should have been all three in London was followed up by one of the performances of the season, and a win to upset the form book at play-off chasing Lincoln. After a handful of poor performances following the international break […]
Ahhh Wigan. I foolishly thought last months financial results may have provided some much needed context to a club still reeling from two financial disasters in as many years, clearly I was wrong. The (internet) fan base reverted to type on Monday evening as we were DUN WI Maloney and Danson would be seeing THI […]
The release of last week’s financial accounts made for sobering reading for all Wigan Athletic supporters. Never again can this club be allowed to reach the state it did and never again can we allow those that don’t have Wigan Athletic’s best interests at heart to use the club in the way it had been […]
50 points, not the old school 40 points of Premier League yesteryear but 50. That’s what Shaun Maloney had pinpointed as the target for remaining in League One, in this most unique of seasons. In recent weeks, certainly since the turn of the year we’ve made huge strides in that direction with some really important […]
What a disappointing week, after the highs of Peterborough and the progress made after Christmas with only two defeats since Boxing Day – one of those being the FA Cup exit against Manchester United. We were poor in the first half against Exeter but up until their opening goal we looked as though we could […]
You’d be forgiven for not noticing that we were currently unbeaten in the league since Boxing Day. Or that we had gained eight points from the previous twelve on offer, rising to fifth in the form table. Or maybe it’s escaped your attention that we in to the lofty heights of eleventh place. All of […]
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 […]
I suppose the good run had to come to an end at some point, shame it was down to a horrific first-half showing. I’m not ready to throw these young lads under a bus though, quite yet. Coming in to Saturday’s game we suffered one loss in fourteen matches in all competitions. That’s an amazing […]
