Brenda Spencer on Wigan Athletic Women ๐ต
"They are fantastic. I went to watch them in the Cup Final, and I really enjoyed the game. It was brilliant. It was lovely to see the turnout.
[Edge Hall Road] is for Women's sport. We will get other things going there as well."
#wafc
"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.

But, I don't this is the season where we will get promotion.
We need to establish a really good team, and when we get promoted, we have got to be ready."

James Carragher starts for Malta as they visit the Netherlands in their #FIFAWorldCup Group G qualifier ๐ฒ๐น
Netherlands beat Finland 2-0 in their opening game on Saturday.
Malta drew 0-0 with Lithuania for their first point from three games.
Great challenge for Carra! ๐ช
#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.
Thank you, Phil! Glad you liked the listen. It was great to speak to Forest Focus. Would love to see Dale Taylor back at Wigan Athletic though...

Ryan Lowe: "When I spoke to the ownership group, it was a short-term/mid-term/long-term vision.
You don't just want to go to a football club for two or three years and not build anything.

Fantastic to see Chris Sze back out there today ๐
It's been a tough season for him, but to return to the field and play an influential role in creating the chance for our goal will help him settle back into this squad.
Head down, train well, and keep taking the chances.
