How much would that be ?

Yes - I agree with you, Wigan are going for promotion next season and so will buy in experience- which is what Chris Merrie needs right now. The fact that he is going on a free transfer shows he would never get regular first team footy here. I think this is a very good move for Chris but to be...

I agree with this sentiment 100% but alas I recon LR will do the same as his buddy Cook did and just go for experience - last season he had no choice, this coming season he does. I’m afraid unless GR grows a pair and backs his youngsters there will be no pathway to the first team. I would love...

Interesting people keep talking about Gregor and the “youngsters” ! - it will be interesting to see how many academy graduates actually make the fist team next year ! - that to me will be the measure of Gregor’s success ! For me - my view is like back in Cooks day there will be no pathway from...

Some games were bad, some were good and some were indifferent but I don’t regret a penny paid or a minute watched !

Personally I thought Lee Evans was a very good player for us Mr Dick ! I recon the reason he left is that Wigan didn’t come up with the necessary - I think he will be missed !.

I also watched every game last season home and away on Wigan TV - I wonder how many others there were ? - not many I recon !

I thought Massey was playing really well when he got injured - I think he can do ok

So which post were you responding to then ? - as far as I can see all the posts up to yous was about squad size.

. So why come on it then ?

Ahh - but do the know as much about football as these guys in the EFL ?

So as someone with lots of professional experience I take it that you are fine with a squad size of 20 next season and don’t think it will impact on player recovery time from injuries. Is that correct ?

But in reality I think it’s a very dumb idea and needs scrapping !

We had problems this season with injuries which I believe were due to our low squad size - I believe it’s not good and if they want to do it then it needs to be across the board and apply to the Championship teams also !

Does anyone know the latest status of the EFL plans to limit all L1 & L2 teams to a squad size of 20 max next season ? https://theathletic.com/news/pfa-efl-squad-size-limits/1EtLSkL5iemD I must admit it’s seems like the craziest idea I’ve heard in a long while and will lead to many player...

Absolutely correct - no matter how good the academy is it pretty pointless ifcthere is no pathway to the first team !

Let’s face facts - not good enough ! FFS let’s do better next season !

Wow - that’s a really interesting website/link - the minutes played for each of our squad to date, makes very interesting reading ! It is :- James Jones: 3960 mins Curtis Tilt: 3129 Tenday Darikawa: 2250 Chris Merrie : 2093 Will Keane : 2081 Viv Solomon ...

It would be interesting to see a list of players actual playing time this season ? This might tell a tale ! Does anyone know how/where we could get such data ?
