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 […]
League One is an absolute rollercoaster this season, as we approach the New Year ten points separate play-off chasing Stevenage and relegation zone dwellers Plymouth Argyle. Latics who it’s fair to say have been underwhelming for most of the Autumn rose to the heady heights of 12th with a crucial win over Burton but could […]
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 […]
All isn’t well at the Brick Community Stadium at the moment and it shows. First off let’s give full credit to Hemel Hempstead Town, The Tudors as they’re affectionally known should be the ones in the Second round – not us. Ryan Lowe admitted as much after Saturday’s game, I think without penalties Hemel would […]
Can two defeats in a week be described as a crisis? No of course they can’t. Can two defeats in a week be considered the end of Ryan Lowe’s honeymoon period? With the manner of the defeats, quite possibly. It’s been a long time since I came away from the Reebok, Unibol, Macron, Tough Sh*t […]
