How would we assess the last two matches? Erm, shall we say room for improvement? Leyton Orient was poor, there’s no getting away from that. Latics never got going in the London sunshine but I think the departure of James Carragher to injury early on did far more to unsettle us than Orient themselves. Richie […]
That summer was over in the blink of an eye and we stand on the precipice of another nine months of a season that could mean absolutely anything. More midtable obscurity? A play-off push? Outsiders for an automatic promotion challenge? All of those scenarios could theoretically be possible, it’s going to be a relatively new […]
Not been a great week has it? Wigan Athletic the only side without a new manager bounce. Following the disappointing defeat to them men, we followed it up with the dullest 90 minutes of football I’ve ever witnessed in the East London sunshine. We marginally improved on another long trip to face Gary Caldwell’s Exeter […]
A lot has changed since that Cambridge match back at the start of the month, a new manager through the door and on the face of it a renewed sense of optimism. The international break will have done the squad a world of good, especially as the number travelling away was limited compared to earlier […]
What a strange seven days MK II. The departure of Shaun Maloney was always going to be a shock to the system, a surprise departure at a time of the season when Latics fans probably least expected it. I’ll be honest after the side seemed to stabilise under Glenn Whelan I suspected that the club […]
I’ve seen some appalling decisions in my 30 odd years watching this football club but the events of the last few days must surely rank up there. Let’s start with Saturday, it was a disappointing match no doubt about it. Even after going ahead we didn’t necessarily look comfortable and then the substitutions which were […]
I told you they’d eventually drag us back in. Two draws and a win from Crawley, Wycombe and Huddersfield would be seen as a good return for a side that had struggled in February. But in true Latics fashion they up-ended that to win against Huddersfield as opposed to Crawley. In fairness to Latics the […]
Many will no doubt have uttered that infamous refrain on Saturday evening. But we’re never really are we? You’re never done with them because you never know when they’ll drag you back in again and although this mini barren spell is taking a little bit longer they’ll be back again before you know it. Daft […]
One step forward, three steps back. It’s been Latics season in a nutshell and how frustrating it’s becoming. Earlier this week a league table of the most miserable fans in the EFL was produced, with Latics only appearing in third place. After this week there’s no doubt that Latics will be at the top of […]
Clicking, gelling, call it what you like but it feels like there’s something special building with this side now. For the last four matches Wigan Athletic have definitely been the better side, across both halves. Now that’s been more successful in some matches than others. Bolton was just a gloriously professional performance from minute one. […]
