So that was that… Pre-season 2026? Erm … Completed it mate. This was never going to be an easy summer, it’s clear we’re a club in transition now and when have we not been in transition in the last decade and a bit? Since that glorious day in May it feels like we’ve been in […]
Latics returned to reality with a bump on Tuesday night after the relative positivity of the first few weeks under Gary Caldwell’s leadership. Facing a resurgent Plymouth with an under strength side was always going to be a difficult ask. To do so with fresh rumours circulating about the ownership of the club made a […]
So here it is, the worst kept secret in football was revealed on Monday morning as Gary Caldwell returned to Wigan Athletic. If anyone had any doubts about Caldwell’s return they only need to watch his two long form interviews with both the BBC and the official club website. Caldwell was as impressive as one […]
“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 […]
Two months too late but finally the decision that should have been made has been made. Embarrassing that it took a 6-1 mauling to do it. Rather than any sort of recognition of the malaise we’ve found ourselves in for the majority of this season. A club legend last season who hadn’t seen us in […]
It has to change, somehow something’s got to change. We thought that change or rather that progression had finally come against Preston, but the more Saturday went on and the more disgraceful the performance it felt like we’d left everything on the pitch at Deepdale. Not because it was Wigan Athletic and it was the […]
From the depths against Cardiff to utter ecstasy against Preston it was quite the week for Wigan Athletic. A season that promised so much in the early part of the year had threatened to turn into something far more mediocre. The defeat to Bolton in October clearly hit hard, yes there’s been a unbeaten run […]
League One is an absolute rollercoaster this season, as we approach the New Year ten points separate play-off chasing Stevenage and relegation zone dwellers Plymouth Argyle. Latics who it’s fair to say have been underwhelming for most of the Autumn rose to the heady heights of 12th with a crucial win over Burton but could […]
It’s looking better isn’t it? Latics travelled to Huddersfield on Saturday happy to be in to the hat for the FA Cup third round but not exactly buoyed by the performance against Barrow last time out. A conservative line-up in the Pennines saw Christian Saydee as Latics only recognised striker but you wouldn’t have known […]
Four points from a tricky looking week, rising to the top half of the table, three points from a play-off place. It should be all smiles at the Brick but that only tells half the tale. Latics laboured to a point against a Stevenage side who seemed happy enough to return to Hertfordshire with that […]
