They often say it’s darkest before the light, and the build up to last weekends match was particularly dark. No doubt Latics had laboured in the previous three matches, but Leyton Orient apart there wasn’t a match we were outclassed. Two matches where we should have done a lot better certainly? Outclassed? Not at all. […]
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 […]
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 […]
‘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, […]
