So the emotional journey of Wigan Athletic’s season continues through it’s dark tunnel. There is to be no happy ending however, that much is looking clear. Of course, we’re all still having those maverick thoughts. We could win three games and the teams above us could lose them all but we can only control one […]
I think it was fairly evident what my views of Malky Mackay where from day one, if not within these pages then via other publications. He’s not a man I ever wanted appointed, nor did I believe that his style of play was the answer for the position we are in and I take no […]

Despite his lack of experience Martinez’ appointment was viewed favourably by the majority of the fans. He had left Swansea for Chester the previous summer after falling […]
What a sad season it has been. The loss to Derby County puts Latics with practically no chance of avoiding the drop. The thought of relegation is hard to bear but what is even more depressing is that the two Davids – Sharpe and Whelan – did not remove Mackay at least a month ago. […]
It was by no means the worst display of the season, going down 1-0 to a team with the best home record in the division. In fact in the second half Latics put Boro under some pressure. But sadly once again it seemed like toothless Wigan would not score if they played all day. […]

Firstly in a carefully planned promotion range is the popular friendship scarf that is usually […]
David Sharpe: “Having a top-class Academy is something I’m so passionate about” Photo courtesy of Sky Sports. “We strive to keep the way of playing football recognizable; attractive, offensive-minded, creative, fast, fair and preferably far away from the own goal on the opponents’ half.” One could only wish the statement applied to the Wigan […]
“Martyn showed what forwards are for, they’re there to score goals.” The words of Malky Mackay after Martyn Waghorn’s spectacular late equalizer saved a point against a poor Bolton side. Mackay will win some journalistic praise for an inspired substitution. After all it helped Wigan share the points when it looked like the opportunity […]
“Marco is a quality player and we were very impressed by just how well he did for us last season. People say he didn’t have a fantastic scoring record. But look at the goals from midfield after he came in. The goals the other boys scored because the way he played was phenomenal. Marco had […]
Malky Mackay’s team of scrappers was once again caught short on their home ground. Watford are by no means Barcelona, but they try to play good football and deserve to be challenging for promotion. A 2-0 win for the Hornets was never a surprise to the realists among the Latics support. It is almost […]
