It’s been a strange old week. It started full of optimism after a very strong performance against Barnsley in the EFL Cup the previous Saturday that should have never ended in defeat. Being bridged in the middle with an awful first half performance against Cambridge but a fightback of sorts. Before a win in the […]
It’s never dull is it (c) Understatement of the century that particular Wigan Athletic phrase. Another twenty four hours, another episode of upheaval, another period of instability. We should be used to them by now, but each time this happens the more damaging the feeling among the fanbase. So let’s recap […]
So that was that… Pre-season 2026? Erm … Completed it mate. This was never going to be an easy summer, it’s clear we’re a club in transition now and when have we not been in transition in the last decade and a bit? Since that glorious day in May it feels like we’ve been in […]
Latics returned to reality with a bump on Tuesday night after the relative positivity of the first few weeks under Gary Caldwell’s leadership. Facing a resurgent Plymouth with an under strength side was always going to be a difficult ask. To do so with fresh rumours circulating about the ownership of the club made a […]
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 […]
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 […]
