Can you name many clubs that have roundly called for the manager’s head after a (checks notes) 2-0 away win? Or another one where the manager’s well-being is called in to question in a show of concern, but was preceded by calling for the manager’s head on a stick by the very same commenter? Nah […]
Three games, three clean sheets, three goals and five huge points. It’s been quite the week for Wigan Athletic, many will file Stevenage and Exeter in the disappointing column but there was none of that disappointment on Tuesday as Latics once again showed their credentials with an emphatic victory over one of the fancied sides […]
Another week, another two points on the board and an unbeaten stretch now running to three matches. Yes Stevenage wasn’t great, but against both Bristol and Lincoln we were the better side against two teams who have started the season in decent form. Stevenage saw a glut of changes but certainly in the first half […]
Are things beginning to click for Shaun Maloney and his Wigan Athletic side? The signs certainly looked promising on Saturday, as Latics absolutely dominated in the sunshine in Bristol. This was a match where it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say Latics could have had five or six, let alone four. The struggles of previous […]
Back to it then, and by god do we need something positive to get our teeth in to. After the last Saturday match on the road, things seemed roundly positive (by this season’s standards anyway) Latics really did push Birmingham all the way at St Andrews. Shaun Maloney’s side should have come away with at […]
‘They never said it was going to be easy’ … Well some did, but if anyone was under the impression this season was going to be a walk in the park will have had their expectations well and truly tempered after Tuesday’s BSM Pizza Tropy match with Morecambe. Let’s have it right, an EFL Trophy […]
Up and running, not that we’d know judging by the reaction of some on Saturday. After two straight defeats and a cup exit on penalties to Barnsley a win, and a win by any means was all that was needed on Saturday and Latics did it. Numerous stats were pulled out post match on Saturday, […]
So another season is upon us, got to say it feels a lifetime since that win over Bristol completed our season. So much has happened in the last three months, but things on the good ship Wigan Athletic seem relatively calm for the first summer in a couple of seasons. The ownership has completed their […]
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 […]
