All isn’t well at the Brick Community Stadium at the moment and it shows. First off let’s give full credit to Hemel Hempstead Town, The Tudors as they’re affectionally known should be the ones in the Second round – not us. Ryan Lowe admitted as much after Saturday’s game, I think without penalties Hemel would […]
Another week, another two points on the board and an unbeaten stretch now running to three matches. Yes Stevenage wasn’t great, but against both Bristol and Lincoln we were the better side against two teams who have started the season in decent form. Stevenage saw a glut of changes but certainly in the first half […]
Coming together, it’s all starting to come together nicely. No mean feat considering all that’s gone on this season but coming together it is. Saturday’s win represented the first away win since York in early December and the first league away win since Exeter in October. It’s been a long time coming but we’ve got […]
That’s more like it. We said, we needed a reaction after this international break and what a reaction we’ve seen. Two wins, four goals scored, zero conceded and a huge step forward after such a damaging last few weeks. Both wins were fantastic in their own way, but distinctly different performances. Against Gary Caldwell’s Exeter […]
As week’s go that’s one I wouldn’t want to repeat in a hurry. There was a feeling last week that I haven’t felt for a while, probably not since Gary Caldwell was so unceremoniously dumped in favour of Warren Joyce. A situation that made no sense then and makes even less sense now. Now […]
‘It’s never dull’ they say, I wish it was. Just one normal footballing season for Wigan Athletic Association Football Club, that’s all I ask … Will never happen. Tuesday felt different, I don’t know why. Same line-up, same decent first half, same end result. Same as it’s been for a while but the end result […]
April 9th saw Wigan Athletic travel to Lincolnshire to face Lincoln City, a 3-1 win over Michael Appleton’s side coupled with defeat for Rotherham at Charlton would see Latics strengthen their grip on top spot in League One. It had been a strong seven days for Leam Richardson, a hard earned draw over the best […]
Seven points in a week, seven points ahead of Rotherham with five games remaining. Back in February when we were staring down the barrel of a month’s worth of matches to fit in and Rotherham sweeping everything aside it’s a position we’d have taken when offered it every day of the week. But for some […]
As Bob Geldof and the boomtown rats once sang I don’t like Mondays, well I don’t like Tuesday’s. It’s been a right old struggle at home on Tuesdays this season. Wycombe was a good performance and of course we had that win over Bolton but since then. Deary me. Latics once again followed the script […]
A trip to the best team in the league beckons for Wigan Athletic on Saturday afternoon. But we’ve already travelled to Sunderland I hear you say, is it Plymouth then? Nope. Well Wycombe then? No it’s our friends over the hill in Horwich. Best team in the league Bolton Wanderers, who currently sit in eighth […]
