Wigan’s winless win at home under Malky Mackay extended to eleven with a two nil home defeat to high flying Watford. Wigan Athletic made just one change to the side which beat Rotherham on Saturday, with Clarke replacing the suspended James McClean. On the bench McCann and Waghorn made way for new loan signings Sinclair […]
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 […]
A cracking result for Wigan, to beat Rotherham at the New York Stadium on Saturday, meant that the gap to the team in 21st place (Fulham & Rotherham) was cut to just 6 points. Momentum has an opportunity to jump on the Coach with the Wigan players for the drive down the M6 & M1 […]
Wigan gained a vital three points with a hard fought away win at relegation rivals Rotherham yesterday to reduce the gap to safety down to six points. Wigan made one change from the team that lost to Leeds with Al Habsi making his one hundredth and fiftieth appearance for Wigan as a replacement for the […]

When the lineup was announced prior to the Leeds match on Saturday it was a sadly depressing moment. The mood had been positive and people had started to “Believe” again. But a look at the team sheet was enough to send many of us into despair. How can you keep faith in a […]
Did you miss us? I doubt it. What I mean was did you miss us on Saturday? If you did we still have a handful of copies of Issue 51 available from the Mudhutter website. We haul over the coals of the months we missed, a winter of discontent too cold for us to stand […]
Once again the Wigan players trooped off the pitch yesterday following a home defeat, their eighth in ten home games since Mackay took the managerial reigns and whilst there were enough chances created to win three games, the lack of a recognised goal scorer upfront for the majority of the game mean that it was […]
A goal from Wigan’s mercurial midfielder Kim saw Wigan win their second consecutive game (the first time since August) to move above Millwall and to within striking distance of Rotherham in the relegation battle stakes. Wigan made one change from the side which defeated Blackpool on Saturday, fit again Leon Clarke replacing Ojo. Norwich entered […]
