Wigan Must Tighten Up Or Risk Relegation
The weekend’s 3-2 defeat to Sunderland continued a worrying trend for the Latics of conceding easy avoidable goals in large quantities. Although a dominant second half display followed, it wasn’t enough to claw back the deficit caused by a first half collapse.
Window Shopping
Now we’ve reached mid-January, the transfer window is in full swing and that means more outrageous transfer fantasies from the Sun with every day that passes. As a Wigan fan, it’s a bit like waiting for Santa, what you want never seems to come around quickly.

Merry Christmas 2012
