As part of our continuing effort to keep Latics supporters informed about new recruits, we have invited a New York Red Bulls supporter to guest write an article about new centre-half Markus Holgersson.
Seeing Josh McEachran put through that exquisite pass for Marco Fortune’s equalising goal on Saturday made one wonder if he provide that extra kind of spark that can propel Latics into the play-off zone by the end of the season. McEachran is a complete midfield player and can play either in the holding role or […]
As I mentioned in recent post “Rosler’s loan signings can make a difference” Latics’ recent loan signings have been greeted with less than universal approval from fans. Of the four loanees it is the signing of 24 year old Martyn Waghorn from Leicester City that is the most controversial. Why would Uwe Rosler want to […]
It is reported from reliable sources that Wigan Athletic are in the process of signing Swedish defender, Markus Holgerrson.

Middlesboro and Wigan played out a goalless draw in blustery conditions in the North East yesterday.
9542 hardy souls braved The DW wind and rain to watch Latics staunch defence of the trophy they so gloriously won against City last season. Wigan Athletic FA Cup winners 2013, I’ll never tire of that. Anyhow in an end to end game with both keepers making excellent saves Wembley Watson opened the scoring […]
