“The more things change, the more they stay the same” So the post Lowe era began with less of a bang and more of a whimper – that’s unfair really, there was definite improvements but sadly not enough for a result on the night. Latics started off so brightly in contrast to the last few […]
‘He’s lost the dressing room and the supporters, it’s time to go’, ‘time to get rid, it’s not working’. Really? Is this how we’re going to do this? Has the town of Wigan had a collective case of amnesia? Was the opening month of the season so good that it’s blinded us to the very […]
I think any concerns about whether we could compete at this level were expelled on Saturday evening. A hard fought local derby against those lads from up the M6 showed that we can and will compete at this level. Unfortunately the injuries are piling up now, Jack Whatmough the latest to pick up a knock […]
The blows keep raining down, like a boxer curled up on the floor of the ring with the referee stood over for the count. It really is a case of how much more can Wigan Athletic take? How much more can this club, this fanbase, this beleaguered coaching staff take? If December had seen positive […]
“The daily scrutiny from people who actually aren’t that educated, but seem to have the biggest opinions – I personally find quite difficult.” No one could ever claim that the relationship between administrators Begbies Traynor and Wigan Athletic fans had ever been all rosy but relations soured even further this week as another dramatic 24 […]
**Written before the news that the Spanish takeover of Wigan Athletic had collapsed. Revel in the relative positivity of seven days ago** How do you even begin to look back on the last twelve months? I’ve tried and failed to start this intro three times now. There is simply no way of dressing it up […]
In the words of The League of Gentlemen’s Pappa Lazarou – “This is just a saga now” So what new drama will the next week bring? In the strange world of Wigan Athletic we can never be sure what’s approaching around the corner. Lazarou himself could appear at the DW next week, multiple wives in […]
You become numb to the defeats after a while, when you’ve gone so long without anything positive it’s no wonder really. What’s another defeat when you’ve already lost so much since July? And I’m not just talking about losing on the pitch. So whilst Latics once again lost out on the pitch against Lincoln on […]
Another week passes, another week without any firm update on the takeover and another week without any points for Wigan Athletic. I feel like a broken record but I imagine no so more than John Sheridan does – Saturday’s match with Northampton was supposed to be when the tide turned for Wigan Athletic. But having […]
It’s been another topsy turvy type of week at the Dave Whelan Stadium (I wonder how much longer we’ll be calling it that post takeover). Following the highs of the news of a successful bid being accepted for the Latics and another important win over Doncaster, Tuesday saw the link of the name of one […]
