We could end up closer to the play offs than the bottom 3...and that pisses me off no end. What could have been eh if we had started this run 4 games earlier or held on to 10 of those 31 dropped points.
Stoke.

For much of the last two seasons our performances and set ups have reminded me very much of life under Joyce.
Come on Wigan

Did you watch us under Joyce, this manager team even at its worst is nothing like that.
Cheer up look up not down.
Of course we are. We didn’t have to adapt unlike most other Championship teams due to our ground being far too big for us. Add in opposition fans not putting the fear of god into our players away from home with ten minutes to go and we’re now reaping the benefits.
Come on Wigan

Thats what it is then and i thought we are good team

Yes I most definitely did and like I said for much of the time it has been like Yootha re-visited watching some of our performances over the last couple of seasons. Like you say though look up now yes, and hope, as there have been huge signs of improvement of late (for which I have acknowledged) we hit the ground running when the new season starts with players in position, consistent line ups and positive substitutions like for like.

For anyone unfortunate to be old enough it was one of them JFK moments....I know exactly where I was and about what time. During the early covid months me and the wife would set off for our morning walk about 11 o clock and we had gone over Hindley golf course heading for Top Lock and the canal. Nearly there and my phone went and it's the brother in law with this garbled message about about what was breaking on Sky Sports. My actual words were " what the fuck are you on about ?"
The rest of the walk was a daze , desperate to get home and see what's going on.
Little Chinese bastards.
I was working from home and quite merrily tapping away on the laptop after watching the prior evening’s emphatic destruction of Stoke …not a care in the world….then my lad (who lives in Barcelona) rang me
“Dad …have you seen we are ‘in administration’ ??
“What ! what ?…are we bollocks” …and then the truth dawned …lost a fair bit of sleep in the following weeks I can tell you…..awful.

Same as you Zeb, I was at home on my laptop and the wife came through and said that Wigan have gone into administration, I must admit my first thoughts were that she meant the rugby, but she said "no it's the Latics". I said "don't be daft, we have only just been taken over". I then turned the TV on and it was all over Sky. I was flabbergasted.

I got a message about lunch time "shite news about Wigan" I had no idea what the context was. Thought the 9pts had made us safe so wondered if it was a covid issue for the next game. Then I switched on SSN
