"It is no good going into the Championship and coming back down again. You need to be ready. You need to have that stability to keep you in the league." For me, this is sensible talk from Brenda. We are not ready as a club yet. We will get there, but it will take time. #wafc

From what I have watched and read, he is traditionally a left winger but likes to cut inside and support the attacking midfielders when he can. Decent cross on him, likes to slot the ball in behind the defence, and has decent ball control. If he starts at LWB, we could see Robinson more at LCB.

A very poor game of football from Wigan Athletic, but it's another point on the board to take us to 40 for the season from 34 games. Sam Tickle's 13th League One clean sheet as Latics kept out Mansfield Town who looked the more dangerous side. On to the next. #wafc | #Stags

Half an hour in and no big chances for Wigan Athletic so far. Jason Kerr came closest with a shot inside the box from a corner, but even that was well wide. Mansfield Town look the more dangerous at the moment, but Latics creating our own downfall at times. Scrappy game. #wafc

With what Maloney had to work with, I feel he was achieving what the realistic expectations should have been. A new manager will now inherit the same young squad, who naturally will produce inconsistent performances. They might unlock something in them, but it’s a big ask..

Getting closer to securing safety now. 10 points ahead of 22nd place after both playing 32 games, and still have a game in hand on 21st place with a 7 point gap. Coming into the part of the season where we can start to look ahead to next season, sort contracts out, and finish the season strong.
