Helpful that everyone else lost too...
I'm going to have fun crunching the numbers on this one...
Frankly, I have a better right foot than he does, and it's missing two toes π
The Wigan Athletic calendar for March with a picture of loan signing Paul Mullin, who returned to his parent club over Christmas.
I winder when they'll stop putting loan players in the calendar? π #wafc
Yeah, I usually work on the rule that a player who struggles under two managers has to be the problem, but Lowe doesn't count π
I think that's been the biggest problem, we've had him playing all kinds of different roles in multiple positions, and he's mastered none of them. If this role works for him, hopefully he can build on today.
I have always liked Jensen Weir as a player, and have never once voiced an intent to stick my crutch up his jacksy π #wafc
That and basic logic should squash it. We were on our arse, if all he wanted was the stadium he just had to hold out until we were wound up, then buy the ground for a quid. Far cheaper than buying the whole club and paying our debts...
Ahead of today's #UEFA knockout draws, here's some pre-draw reading to whet your appetite: last night's edition of Co-efficient Corner.
Yeah, and t reminds me a little of when some of the English teams didn't get out of the groups and it was treated like a national crisis. You'd need several years of Italian teams not even reaching the knockouts for there to be a big problem...
I'd say of the Big 4, they're now definitely the least likely to pick up one of the extra UCL spots next season, but other than that, no, their four usual UCL places are safe.
A busy night of #UEFA Europa League and Conference League action can only mean one thing - it's Part 2 of this week's Co-efficient Corner...
Ahead of today's #UEFA Europa League and Conference League Knockout Play-offs, let's check in and see where the Club and Country Rankings stand following the Champions League matches...
It's a scary time. Luckily the #wafc owners recognise that and are pushing along with others to do something about it. Judging from some of the noise I've seen on the Other Place some fans would rather we join the circus...
The Champions League Knockout Play-offs are now done - let's see how that impacts the #UEFA Co-efficients... willjpatterson.mediu...
Yeah, I think everyone's noticed that the Championship being a basket case of a division is spreading to L1. And they are looking for a Lauren Jones figure to handle the whole side of data including recruitment, they just haven't found the right candidate yet.
I'd guess it's just the recruitment, but that's a guess... In terms of smarter, we're hamstrung a little by not having a head of data yet who can analyse potential new markets, but I think the idea is to spend the same total on better players, so have a smaller but better quality squad overall.
I don't know if that includes paying up Lowe's contract, but I can tell you that after the summer window, 20 clubs in L1 have collectively shat themselves (ourselves included) and are now looking to get a grip on costs in the division as a whole.
Basically, they underestimated how much other clubs were willing to stump up, and more clubs outspent us than expected. So they thought we'd be on the Top 6 in terms of wages, but we only ended up 10th.
Time for a new Month in Polling, including a new tactical voting model, an extrapolation of polls in Gorton & Denton, a look at the un-postponed local elections and the impending demise of the Alba Party before a vote has been cast: willjpatterson.mediu...
The #UEFA men's knockout stages begin, and for this week's Co-efficient Corner, there's a focus on the Country Co-efficients...
That was worth the hypothermia! #wafc

Pride night at #wafc so I'm showing my @footballvhomophobia.com colours!
Caldwell confirmed! Key news is Perks comes in as First Team Coach, with Glenn Whelan and Nicky Adams leaving. It's a clean break, which is what we needed... #wafc

I mean, Arsenal are OK, but they're no Peterborough... #wafc

Oh well, after that awful, awful Wigan performance, time to cheer myself up with Gladiators... Fit guys in leotards FTW!
