Sixy Talk – Drawing a Vale Over It
So, after grabbing the attention last week with our “back where we belong” motif, we thought we’d try and get back to what we’re good at. One of those things is finding willing opposition fans to waffle on about football, what they think of us, pies and anything else that grabs our fancy.
Everybody Happy?
Is everyone happy then? Well as we moved up from 5th to 4th last week then you’d assume so. However, the fact that we only drew with “lowly” Crewe and Burton won one of their games in hand midweek seems to have tempered the mood somewhat. Failing to take three points at Crewe wasn’t ideal […]
How to use Wildschut
Just a couple of weeks ago most Wigan Athletic supporters were hoping and praying that the “New Era” duo of Gary Caldwell and David Sharpe would find a way to make Yanic Wildschut a Latics player. The Dutchman had made an impact comparable to that of Amr Zaki in the Steve Bruce era or even […]
Lowly Crewe earn draw to derail Latics promotion push.
Wigan’s drive towards the automatic promotion spots came to a halt yesterday afternoon with a draw against relegation threatened Crewe at Gresty Road.

Latics “un-Done” by Late Sheffield rally in six goal thriller
A dramatic turnaround at the DW saw Sheffield United secure a share of the points with three goals in the last twenty minutes after they seemed dead and buried following an excellent first hour by Wigan. Wigan made two changes from the last outing with Vuckic and McCann starting in place of Kellett and James.
Captain Morgan adds spice to Latics comeback victory
Wigan produced a tremendous fightback from two nil down at the DW Stadium on Thursday night with a last minute of injury time winner from captain Craig Morgan after Wigan had seemed dead and buried against a Gillingham side who thoroughly deserved their two goal lead and could have been further ahead had Bradley Dack […]
Seeking automatic promotion
Three successive away games is a bit of a rarity in League 1. But if it were to happen to a team and they collected 7 points from those encounters, their fans could be expected to be pleased. But there is a nervousness among Wigan Athletic fans, as Gary Caldwell’s team seeks automatic promotion. Latics […]
