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. […]
Another home game, something that fills most Wigan fans with dread at present with a winless home run stretching back to August the 30th last year, a run that has been largely instrumental in Wigan finding themselves firmly ensconced in the bottom three.
Wigan made the trip to Teeside, hoping to maintain the away form which had seen them accrue four consecutive away wins, form which had kept them in with a shout of escaping the championship relegation places. Malky Mackay made one change to the team that performed so well agaisnt Bolton, replacing Fortune with the […]
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. […]

Well the local derby, probably Wigan’s biggest rivalry & if ever we needed to get a win at Home for the first time in Months, this would be the team to get the 3 points against! Neil Lennon’s team arrive at the DW with their own ‘indifferent form,’ this is on from the October’s New […]
