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 […]
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 […]
It’s been a while since I felt positive after a defeat, it’s not accepting mediocrity but it’s recognising just how close Wigan Athletic pushed an extremely talented Premier League side last weekend. There’s no doubt there was a negative atmosphere following Latics around last week after a relatively quiet end to the transfer window (let’s […]
Should we dial it down a bit? The atmosphere? If Latics could harness some of the frustration vented online for the JJB DW Brick on a Saturday afternoon we’d have one of the most feared atmospheres in all of the 92. It’s been another contentious week in the world of Wigan Athletic. Following the enforced […]
A midweek trip to deepest Nottinghamshire isn’t usually the way I’d plan on spending a Tuesday in January but thanks to last week’s second Ice Age it became a necessity. It was one of those nights where earlier in the season Wigan Athletic may well have crumbled, indeed when we played Mansfield at home. That […]
Oh Wigan. From three wins in a row to three losses in a row. From the sublime to the ridiculous. Consistency is the name of the game and how we’ve struggled so much this season. We have shown glimpses of great play but we can’t show that for 90 minutes or indeed on a regular […]
What a difference a week makes. From looking over our shoulder towards the relegation zone to looking up towards the play-offs. Listen – let’s not get ahead of ourselves as much as two wins doesn’t mean we’re back to HMS {REDACTED WORD} THE LEAGUE the comparatively poor period since the October international break equally didn’t […]
Straight in to them Latics! Our season can so far be sectioned in to three distinct parts, all linked with International breaks. Part I) Start of the season, pre September international break – Underwhelming but early days. Part II) Post September international break – Much better, starting to click. Solid defensively, add goals and we’ll […]
Can you name many clubs that have roundly called for the manager’s head after a (checks notes) 2-0 away win? Or another one where the manager’s well-being is called in to question in a show of concern, but was preceded by calling for the manager’s head on a stick by the very same commenter? Nah […]
