A midweek trip to deepest Nottinghamshire isn’t usually the way I’d plan on spending a Tuesday in January but thanks to last week’s second Ice Age it became a necessity. It was one of those nights where earlier in the season Wigan Athletic may well have crumbled, indeed when we played Mansfield at home. That […]
Oh Wigan. From three wins in a row to three losses in a row. From the sublime to the ridiculous. Consistency is the name of the game and how we’ve struggled so much this season. We have shown glimpses of great play but we can’t show that for 90 minutes or indeed on a regular […]
What a difference a week makes. From looking over our shoulder towards the relegation zone to looking up towards the play-offs. Listen – let’s not get ahead of ourselves as much as two wins doesn’t mean we’re back to HMS {REDACTED WORD} THE LEAGUE the comparatively poor period since the October international break equally didn’t […]
Straight in to them Latics! Our season can so far be sectioned in to three distinct parts, all linked with International breaks. Part I) Start of the season, pre September international break – Underwhelming but early days. Part II) Post September international break – Much better, starting to click. Solid defensively, add goals and we’ll […]
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 […]
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, […]
