Seeing Josh McEachran put through that exquisite pass for Marco Fortune’s equalising goal on Saturday made one wonder if he provide that extra kind of spark that can propel Latics into the play-off zone by the end of the season. McEachran is a complete midfield player and can play either in the holding role or […]
As I mentioned in recent post “Rosler’s loan signings can make a difference” Latics’ recent loan signings have been greeted with less than universal approval from fans. Of the four loanees it is the signing of 24 year old Martyn Waghorn from Leicester City that is the most controversial. Why would Uwe Rosler want to […]
It is reported from reliable sources that Wigan Athletic are in the process of signing Swedish defender, Markus Holgerrson. The highly-rated Holgersson is 28 years old, 6’2”tall and can play at right back or in the centre of defence. He comes from New York Red Bulls as a free agent, having allowed his contract to […]
An unknown third choice goalkeeper from Spain, an end of contract midfielder from Kansas City and a 32 year old unwanted by Hamburg. Such were the loan signings made by Wigan Athletic a year ago.

I didn’t go to Doncaster. I was supposed to be going, but decided I couldn’t afford it. That’s not to say I’m destitute or particularly struggling. It’s just that some things have changed since we started planning the trip and I haven’t got bags of cash lying around.
Wigan Athletic travel to the Keepmoat Stadium this afternoon having won their last three away games and being unbeaten in the league in seven matches under Uwe Rosler. Doncaster are fighting to get themselves out of the relegation mire, currently sitting on 22nd place. Their home record reads W4 D2 L6. Under normal circumstances one […]
I think we all know those footballers who the notoriously hard to please Wigan Athletic fans love most: those high energy grafters: witness the current love in over all-action cartoon hero Roger Espinoza. Run around like a headless chicken and they’ll love you forever!
“The budget is spent in terms of the amount of players we have in. It’s a big squad but that was needed because of the European games. What (the January transfer window) allows me is it might free up some money on the wage budget to bring in loan players until the end of the […]
