So here it is, the worst kept secret in football was revealed on Monday morning as Gary Caldwell returned to Wigan Athletic. If anyone had any doubts about Caldwell’s return they only need to watch his two long form interviews with both the BBC and the official club website. Caldwell was as impressive as one […]
“The more things change, the more they stay the same” So the post Lowe era began with less of a bang and more of a whimper – that’s unfair really, there was definite improvements but sadly not enough for a result on the night. Latics started off so brightly in contrast to the last few […]
Two months too late but finally the decision that should have been made has been made. Embarrassing that it took a 6-1 mauling to do it. Rather than any sort of recognition of the malaise we’ve found ourselves in for the majority of this season. A club legend last season who hadn’t seen us in […]
We or rather the collective we, IE me – said that last week something had to change. Well we’ve now reached the point where that change required is immediate. Wigan Athletic need a change of management with urgency or for the first time in over thirty years Wigan Athletic could find themselves in the bottom […]
It has to change, somehow something’s got to change. We thought that change or rather that progression had finally come against Preston, but the more Saturday went on and the more disgraceful the performance it felt like we’d left everything on the pitch at Deepdale. Not because it was Wigan Athletic and it was the […]
So much for my assertion last week that things were improving, things took a huge and somewhat worrying step backwards on Saturday afternoon. In seasons like this – where increasingly promotion looks beyond us the minimum that you would hope for is to succeed in the local derbies or at least put up a bit […]
It’s looking better isn’t it? Latics travelled to Huddersfield on Saturday happy to be in to the hat for the FA Cup third round but not exactly buoyed by the performance against Barrow last time out. A conservative line-up in the Pennines saw Christian Saydee as Latics only recognised striker but you wouldn’t have known […]
Four points from a tricky looking week, rising to the top half of the table, three points from a play-off place. It should be all smiles at the Brick but that only tells half the tale. Latics laboured to a point against a Stevenage side who seemed happy enough to return to Hertfordshire with that […]
That was more like it! For week’s we’ve wanted the real Wigan Athletic to step up. Or at least the Wigan Athletic we saw in August. On a bitterly cold and wet afternoon in South London they did just that. Ryan Lowe had spoken about a feeling in training during the week and so many […]
We’ve not been affected as much this season as in previous seasons, but the EFL really need to get a grip of International Breaks for clubs in League One’s and Two’s. The amount of lost revenue to club’s missing out on Saturday fixtures through no fault of their own. We only had half of the […]
