A long range shot by Martyn Waghorn’s on his debut as a permanently contracted Wigan Athletic player was enough to deliver all three points to the home side but the performance served up collectively was poor against a physical Leeds side who succeeded in knocking the Latics off their game. Wigan made two changes to […]
A debut goal from Rob Kiernan following on from a Ramis header saw Latics gain a credible point against high flying Leicester City in a game which provided fine entertainment form both sides with the league leaders doing just enough to hang on to their long unbeten run. Wigan once again rang the changes […]
They were the two Jimmy Macs – James McArthur and James McCarthy – in the engine room of Roberto Martinez’s midfield. It could be difficult guessing Bob’s starting lineups, but the Jimmy Macs always seemed to be there. Together with Shaun Maloney they could compete on an even keel with the likes of Gerrard, Lampard […]
Leicester City come to the DW Stadium tonight on the crest of a wave, sitting at the top of the Championship table, following on from a 2-0 away win at second placed Burnley. Nigel Pearson has built a team that plays good football and has picked itself up since losing out to Watford in […]

My favourites include Bolton fans telling us it’s our biggest game of the season – two weeks before we play an FA Cup semi final! Of course […]
Congratulations to “that” Chris Marsh “off Twitter” and Fish “not” from Marillion for coming first out of the TNS flat cap in our Art of Football t-shirt competition.
Another Final being played at our second home, this time between Chesterfield and Peterborough United in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy. The Posh start as favorites as they are in the place-off places in Division One while Chesterfield are vying for automatic promotion to that division. Darren Ferguson’s outfit warmed up for the match with a 3-1 defeat […]
