Wigan welcomed Uwe Rosler’s former team Brentford F.C. to the DW Stadium hoping to halt a worrying run of six league games without a win, a run which saw them perched on the cusp of a relegation place, knowing that a win was essential if they were to kick start their promotion campaign in earnest. […]
Phew, it’s nice to be back in the sanctity of the football pages after the last few days. The Wolves game feels a lifetime away yet we head into a period with two home games in four days. To fill the void, myself and a few of my fellow Mudhutter contributors did a podcast on […]
With the Brentford game looming Billy Grant (@billythebee99) of the Beesotted fanzine asked us to respond to some questions about what has been happening to Latics. So lets cut to the chase here … Wigan’s start to the season hasn’t been quite as expected hasn’t it? The season has been like an uncomfortable rollercoaster ride for […]

He was already being quoted about the resurgence of Gordon Strachan’s Scotland side before his deflected shot sealed a 1-0 victory for them over Georgia in midweek. Now he is in the limelight once more, […]
Rumours are breaking from the Christopher Park that a number of Latics players may have turned up for training this morning. These may have included the likes of ex-Cardiff duo Andrew Taylor and Don Cowie who might have commented on how much they were enjoying their time at the club, if anyone asked them about […]
