New regime up and running, and before England’s World Cup chances faded it hadn’t been a bad afternoon by all accounts. A trip to Millwall is never an easy one, indeed not for Latics. Our record there is questionable to say the least but things started off on the right track for Kolo’s tricky tics […]
It’s been a while hasn’t it? At the time of writing 25 days to be precise, the first winter World Cup has provided a relief of sorts but nothing to ever replace the domestic football that it so foolishly replaced thanks to Fifa’s grubby decision making over a decade ago. With the bottom two divisions […]
At what point does this become terminal? I’m sure I wasn’t alone thinking that on Wednesday evening. After the inevitable L was posted alongside Wigan 0-1 Stoke. Once again a half decent performance was rewarded with nothing, but perhaps it’s all we deserved? I’m not sure, all I do know is Blackburn apart Autumn has […]
As Paul McCartney once sang ‘It’s getting better all the time’, eighth place in the table, three wins (consecutive away wins) and four draws with just one defeat. If anyone tells you they wouldn’t have taken that on our return to the Championship they’re lying. This is arguably the best Championship campaign we’ve had in […]
It’s been a mixed week on the old ship Wigan Athletic, with some of the ship mates just stopping short of a full mutiny. Well if that hashtag is anything to go by at least. Burnley was always going to be a tough task, matches against the Premier League relegation class of Sheffield United, Norwich […]
There’s some games that you know, even early on that they’re going to be remembered fondly. As Saturday’s match went on you felt something special was brewing. Latics had struggled to get to grips with Birmingham in the opening ten minutes or so, when Joe Bennett was incorrectly sent off it felt like it was […]
It’s been some week for Wigan Athletic, another point on the board from a tough away match at Norwich along with the signing of one of League One’s top stars last season – Nathan Broadhead. Looking back at Norwich and apart from the first quarter of the match we were more than worth a point, […]
I think any concerns about whether we could compete at this level were expelled on Saturday evening. A hard fought local derby against those lads from up the M6 showed that we can and will compete at this level. Unfortunately the injuries are piling up now, Jack Whatmough the latest to pick up a knock […]
Nearly there Wigan, nearly there. One last push is all it will take, one last stretch through tired legs and those legs are tired now. Don’t let anyone tell you this Wigan Athletic side aren’t deserving of promotion if it does indeed come this Saturday. A team that had four contracted players at the start […]
Seven points in a week, seven points ahead of Rotherham with five games remaining. Back in February when we were staring down the barrel of a month’s worth of matches to fit in and Rotherham sweeping everything aside it’s a position we’d have taken when offered it every day of the week. But for some […]
