‘Don’t be sad it’s over, be glad it happened’ That was the message posted by David Sharpe across social media following Wigan’s 2-1 defeat to Leeds on Sunday, and the final match with the Whelan family as owners. Sunday was disappointing from a football view, and it was a shame that the family bowed […]
Three away games played, ten goals conceded and three defeats. Saturday was a disappointing day, the atmosphere in the away end was like nothing I’ve ever experienced in Paul Cook’s time with Wigan Athletic. There was a lot of anger on the terraces and seemingly a lot of that anger, was aimed at the man […]
From the fantastic to the not so fantastic in the space of three days. If Wigan Athletic’s season could be summed up in one week this would be it. First the fantastic, Latics were quite simply awesome against West Brom. The performance from start to finish was exactly what was needed after the Preston debacle […]
‘Let us never speak of that again’ – That was my first reaction after leaving Deepdale a couple of weeks ago, well the first reaction that could be printed in a family newspaper that is. That as trivial as it may seem is probably the approach that is needed from the Latics faithful now. Things […]
After possibly the longest takeover saga in history, light is at the end of the tunnel for Wigan Athletic and the club’s ownership structure. Rumours first emerged last October that Wigan Athletic could possibly be heading for a takeover, with numerous far eastern groups linked to taking control of the club. After Garry Cook had […]
Fine margins is an often overused phrase, it’s also one that often irks me. Probably due to its overuse by certain Wigan Athletic managers that should be left firmly in the past – I’m looking at you Malky, Warren and Owen. But for this week fine margins is most definitely a suitable phrase. After the […]
Six days, three games, six points. Not a bad return by any stretch. Especially when you consider that two of those wins came at home, extending an excellent record at the DW Stadium and for a short time pushing us up to an impressive third place in the league. The start to the season has […]
The week didn’t begin as many would have hoped but it’s certainly got better as it’s gone on. We’ve a pretty poor record following international breaks, one of the few benefits of being in League One was the lack of international breaks, being able to build a run of form without having it interrupted with […]
I know this international break has only been for two weeks but for me personally, it already feels like a lifetime. I’ve not seen us in action since Nottingham Forest at home due to work. So with a clear weekend ahead I can’t wait to get to Euston and head over to West London. Brentford […]
I said after the defeat to QPR it was important we bounced back on our own pitch, and Latics did just that on a Saturday with a well earned three points against Paul Warne’s Rotherham. Our record at home in recent months, and since Paul Cook took over as manager is nothing short of remarkable. […]
