Send us a textPlymouth ReactionGoalsChancesRefOne Point To GoMotMPortsmouth PreviewView From The Home EndRef WatchPrevious & FormPredictionsThe last home game of the season, hoping for a grand finale to a glorious campaign, but we are Wigan Athletic and we just love to do things a little differently, none of the easy stuff here.A draw against Plymouth was perhaps always on the cards, carrying rubber stamping of promotion over to Tuesday evening down on the South Coast at Portsmouth, we do have a few connections with them after all.We did have opportunities to get it sealed, but a great save, a wayward finish, a bobble of the ball and a referee not prepared to make a decision all contrived to leave us waiting another four days at least.So off down south on Tuesday, Jack Whatmough, Tom Naylor and manager Leam Richardson all returning to their old stomping ground, what a place to not only gain promotion, a draw would be enough, but also potentially win the title if we Sunderland do us a favour, yeah I know,

This is going to the wire isn't it. We were well out of sorts but credit must go to Cambridge who looked very capable and caused us lot's of problems. Four games to go, top of the league by four points and a game in hand on one of the two teams that can catch us, I'd have taken that three weeks ago let alone the start of the season, we've been magnificent throughout the course of this campaign, now we just need to hold our nerve and get the job done.Ipswich away on Tuesday, a great insight into the Tractor Boys from our guest, Richard Moss in the 'View From The Home End', all I can say is bring it on, a win for us and defeat for MK Do

That would be a great achievement for Latics number 10 and a testament to the coaching staff at the club.Up The Tics! Contact PWU Podcast Tweet us @PWUP

How we didn't press home and have the game done and dusted by half-time is beyond me, but this is football and these things happen, we move on to Tuesday.Unfortunately it looks like we could be without two of our big performers with Jimmy McClean and Curtis Tilt having to leave the pitch with what appeared bad injuries, McClean left the stadium on crutches after twisting his knee in a challenge for the ball, whilst Tilty looks like he suffered either a hamstring or a thigh strain.Of the two Tilt will be the easier to replace with options of going to a four and bringing in Bennett or Pearce, with Kell Watts coming in, or staying with a three, again Watts coming in.For McClean we do have good replacements but as we know

Send us a textDubaiHot WorkRecuperationRevitalisationInternationalsRep IrelandNorthern IrelandJosh Magennis - James McClean - Will KeanePWU Player of the Season LaunchFans CompilationPanel CitationSo who is your choice as Wigan Athletic player if the 2022 season? Personally I feel that this season is one of the most difficult that there has been to single out just one player, such has been the level of consistency across the whole of the squad. There is also the question of what criteria to use to help you make that choice. Some people argue that goals win you games and look to the leading goal scorers from the squad, but there are also players who score the big goals, the ones that win you games, think Curtis Tilt at Fleetwood, James McClean at Oxford, Callum Lang at Plymouth, Stevie Humphrys at Morecambe and of course Will Keane at home to Rotherham. Others look to the defence, ‘success is built from the back’ is a term often used in football and we have had some excellent performances across the back line

We look back at the past nine weeks and the toll that it has taken on the players without them having any recovery time between games, quite obvious that JT is impressed with the mental attitude and drive of the squad to keep going and churning out results. Doctor Tobin gives us updates on both Jordan Cousins and Charlie Wyke who have been out long term and we take a look at the League One weekend fixtures, to finish off Doc is asked for his player of the sea
