Keep playing like that on Saturday and there is no need to worry about relegation.
Loving the more direct style of play under Caldwell and its working wonders at the moment with the players he has inherited.
Hard to believe its the same bunch that were trounced at Peterborough just a few weeks back.
Should have had that game buried by half time simple as that.
Ref added enough time there to possibly lose all 3 points never mind gain 1.The stupid sending off and the ridiculous 11 minutes added mean it’s a point saved.
woukd have taken 4 points from Bradford and Barnsley all day long.
Saw enough last night to say Latics will stay up.
They never built up a young fan base like Latics have successfully done
Not sure how much Latics lose a season now , but I bet it’s not 5 or 6 million .
The game died years and years ago when RU went professional and overnight restricted the supply of top players flowing into RL previously.
The top players went the other way and the rest is history.
Rule changes and summer rugby are also factors and also leisure pursuits have changed massively since their 1980s and 90s zenith when wet winter sundays in Wigan and pubs closing at 2 meant many trudged to the Rugby to watch Gregory, Edwards and Hanley ( their like would no doubt be in RU today) and the ‘Rugby town ‘ term was pushed in the media by super salesman Maurice Lindsay.
Almost 17,000 on saturday for a team at the butt end of the 3rd division , free tickets or not the argument about the dominant code was killed for good on saturday afternoon !
Huge potential at Latics if someone comes in with ambition and the realisation that our beloved Little Latics have aquired some celebrity status with its colourful history over the past 25 years.
Wasn’t expecting much yesterday after the Plymouth debacle but that was a great performance yesterday.
Taylor got the main plaudits with that brilliant solo goal and you can tell he loves playing at Wigan going off his celebration yesterday.caldwell seems to be getting a tune out of these players now and he isn’t afraid to throw a young player in either.
That will be the way forward this summer and the club needs to really intensify its youth policy now.
Up for sale and about to lose a fair chunk of the squad next summer.
any assets will be gone most likely by then , non league beckons with this policy in my opinion.
Always the feeling watching the game last night that Reading were playing below themselves but still enough to come away with 3 points.
slightly more intent early on but again undone by dreadful defending and lightweight attacking and looking at the upcoming fixtures I really fear the worst now.
Not sure this bunch are up for the fight and I fear league 2 is a very real possibility now.
All the fast talk and spin we have had this season doesn’t hide the fact that this is a very very poor bunch of players , league 2 level at best.Loan FC with sticking plaster mentality on the pitch of the like we have not seen since the early 1990s.
Shit show of a club
