January Transfer Window
View attachment 470115
There was no particular area's which needed strengthening this window but if I could add quality to a position for the right amount of money then I would, I believe we have done good business in this window.
Ins:
Alejandro Faurlin - 700k: A excellent player we have in Faurlin from QPR. He possesses unreal quality and so far has had an excellent season which we hope he can carry his form across to us, he will provide tough competition in the centre of the park.
Jimmy Briand - loan: The French winger from Lyon is known best for his burst of speed and ability to get past an opponent. He has been one of the most consistent wingers in Ligue 1 and will welcome the game time.
Outs:
Ali Al Habsi - 1.7m: Not played all season and wanted first team football, glad to have the funds and him off the wage bill.
Ben Watson - 750k: Sold due to the arrival of Faurlin, we are not short of midfielders but have a good balance so enough of them see a good amount of minutes on the pitch.
With two in and two out this window, nothing major has happened but I believe the quality of players coming in could be regulars in the Premier League. We have more competition for quality in the team and hopefully we can hurt more teams.

As you can see, we have invested in training and youth set-ups so that we can have a better chance of attracting higher profile players due to better facilities and have more chance of bringing youth through due to the high standard of youth set up.

McAnuff (13'), Powell (22')

A excellent victory at Pride Park today to restart the year. Two early first half goals knocked the stuffing out of Derby, although they clawed a late goal back they never looked like coming back.

Wigan 2 - 2 Notts County
Praet (73'), Milosevic (90+1')
MOTM: Joss Labadie
We saved ourselves some blushes with a last minute equaliser. We looked very sluggish and expected to turn up and win against a team a league below us. I'm disappointed in the lads attitude to not care about such a historic tournament. We are the currently the holders of the competition.

Young Planas, the summer arrival from Barcelona registers his first goal for the team after a impressive first half of the season which has earned him rave reviews. We controlled most of the possession in the match and even after falling behind I knew that we would pull it back.

Another convincing win, this time against Aitor Karanka's Middlesborough. We have been firing on all cylinders in the league recently and have been scoring quite a few opposed to usual. I think the players are finally learning eachothers games inside out and playing with a smile on their faces.

What a way to win a football game! After being 2-0 up and comfortable, Charlton fought back and drew us level. Just as the Lactics thought they was travelling home with a point, Jonas Svensson popped up with a stunner to win us the game.

A very sloppy game today, Grant Holt has come back into goalscoring ways recently though and some of his play today was out of this league, it's just a shame he's on the wrong side of 30 and on the decline.

Unfortunately, we know we are not going to win every game in the league and every team has to lose sometime. It is hard to take defeat as a manager but it's our first one since the end of December which I'm delighted with the lads for such consistency, we still showed battling power and created chances, it just wasn't our day.

We should have had this tie dead and buried. After 28 shots at goal resulting on 14 on target I'm quite disappointed we only managed to get a draw and allowed Metalurg to gain an away goal on us. We know we have the beating of them player for player and hopefully we can go to Ukraine and win.

A hard game for us today against a Brighton team who set up very defensively trying to stop us from scoring rather than looking for the win themselves, they did a good job most of the game which resulted in us scoring from a set-piece from big Grant Holt. It shows teams in this league are scared of what we can do to them.

I knew we would go through after we battered them in England for a full 90 minutes. An early goal set us off and ruined any plans Metalurg had for clinging defensively hoping to go though on away goals. We actually controlled the game with great success and deserve our place in the next round.

Every point at this stage of the season is vital. We needed a result today, and got one. The players are working extremely hard to keep fit after a hard, grooling season we are at the final push and if we fight through it; it will be worth the while.

MOTM: Dennis Praet
Just what we needed! A big, massive three points! Each point in this growing season is become more important and my players was warriors today, fighting through the pain barrier to play. In recent weeks we've had some weeks where we was playing 3 games in a week.

White Hart Lane
Tottenham 2 - 1 Wigan (3-2 agg)
Svensson (67')
MOTM: Anthony Annan
What a cruel way to have to exit the competition, a late goal from Tottenham sends us out. But I will have my boys going out of the competition as the surprise competitors and the shock which opened everyones eyes. We will finish strong in the league and grow our reputation.

MOTM: Alexander Milosevic
The anticipation of every game keeps growing and the expectation is piling on top of mine and the players shoulders but we keep delivering the goods. If we can maintain a steady form in the last few games of the season it should see us promoted. We kept yet another clean sheet this season.

Young Alan Squires made his debut vs Burnley and had a memorable one by scoring infront of the DW. He has introduced himself and one of the finest prospects in the English set-up. I look forward to see how he progresses.

Player Awards:
View attachment 432631
Here is personal awards which I have delegated to players after discussions with staff at the club and people surrounding the club. It was a extremely long season in which we played over 70 games and managed to seal the Community Shield and Sky Bet Championship.
Player Of The Season:
View attachment 432629
Stefan Strandberg
What an absolute stormer of a season for the Norwegian Centre-Back. He was part of the best defence of the league this season which conceded 42 goals in 46 games. He was also called up for his first cap but after a number of impressive displays he was named Captain for Norway which was fully deserved. He will be the heart of the defence next season.
Young Player Of The Season:
View attachment 432625
Dennis Praet
As our most costly signing, and deemed a European Goldenboy for the future, some games he just turned them on their head and transformed them into three points. He is also going to improve, at the age of 20 he still has plenty of time to develop.
Value signing of the season:

Carles Planas
110k was spent on this guy and it proved to be the biggest bargain of the season. Now having an estimated market value of around 7.5m he will prove a big hit in the Premier League this season.
XI Of The Year:
Carson
Lora Strandberg Milosevic Planas
Annan

I'm delighted at some of the signings we've managed to bring in, we have some very, very good footballers joining our ranks here at Wigan. The biggest coups for the club are Balanta, Kameni and Camacho. I believe these players are of a high European standard and I am delighted to add them to my ranks. Also Diego, released from Wolfsburg as their ambitions didn't match his could be a very important player for us this year.

Some players who left the club this summer, I wish hadn't but I had to grant their wishes to play football elsewhere as I believe you are a better player if your happy. The most notable departures are Alexander Milosevic and Scott Carson, which both wanted to push their transfers through and the fans was sad to see them leave but I believe I have bought adequate replacements in Kameni and Balanta. Both wingers who starred in our excellent season was allowed to leave aswell as they are the wrong side of 30 and I can buy better now we are in this league.

Wow. What a fantastic Pre-Season. We won every single game which we played and especially the latter games shows that we can be a surprise package this season if our minds are focused and we believe. I am really optimistic this season and looking forward to managing in the best league in the world. I hope you join me on my journey.

This season we will be building our own path to see where we end up. I believe with a little luck the possibilities are endless but our main priority is avoiding relegation that first season back in the league.

White Hart Lane
Tottenham 1 - 1 Wigan
Balanta (14')
MOTM: Eder Alvarez Balanta
What a fantastic way to open the season. We upset the odds away at Tottenham, our pressing so high up the pitch never really gave Tottenham a real chance to come attacking at us and a draws probably fair on Tottenham. A fantastic debut for our new centre-back who was given MOTM.

Strandberg (53')
MOTM: Eder Alvarez Balanta
This adds to our impressive result against Tottenham. I told the lads as it's our first home game of the season to go out and express themselves to see what we can deliver. We came up trumps with a clean sheet and a win against a very strong Everton side against my good friend Roberto Martinez, we shared a few drinks after the game but I felt proud inside that I had done one on him.
Capital One Cup Second Round
Tuesday 26th August 2014
The Alexandra Stadium
Crewe 0 - 2 Wigan
Praet (40'), Longo (45+2')
MOTM: Dennis Praet
A comfortable victory against League One Crewe. Two goals on the stroke of half-time saw them die off and we was comfortable for large parts of the game without even being threatened, Longo registered his first goals which I hope is the first f many, we proceed to the next round.
Capital One Cup Third Round draw:

What a fantastic end to the month. My boys have done me proud today and we could of come away from the game winning it. We have taken two massive away points from teams who will be finishing at the head of the league at the end of the season and I'm delighted at our performances and work ethic.

We are off to a good start in the league and have come flying out the blocks. Can we maintain it this month?
Barclays Premier League
Saturday 13th September 2014
The Hawthorns
West Brom 0 - 1 Wigan
Rescaldani (62'), Planas sent off
MOTM: Stefan Strandberg
Another single goal win for us today. We played very well and should have had more goals, but if it gets us three points I don't mind regardless of our play if we can get the win. The only thing that spoilt the match was Planas's horrible challenge which deserved the red card and I'm disappointed in him.
Barclays Premier League
Saturday 20th September 2014
DW Stadium
Wigan 0 - 3 Aston Villa
MOTM: Cristian Benteke
Well, this is what can happen in the Premier League if your not up to your best, Benteke had a quality game against us today and I'm surprised he's still at Villa as he is a top, top player. We move on and forget about this game.
Capital One Cup Third Round
Tuesday 23rd September 2014
KC Stadium
Hull 2 - 3 Wigan
Longo (73', 90+4'), Svensson (81')
MOTM: Samuele Longo
A tighter match than I would have liked, but we progress and it was a good, attacking performance which we got a bunch of goals to our arsenal. Longo looks a good prospect for us and has been popping up with some great performances s far this season.

Notts Forest v Wigan
Barclays Premier League
Saturday 27th September 2014
DW Stadium
Wigan 1 - 0 Sunderland
Longo (20')
MOTM: Orestis Karnezis
A interesting game as I rate our team similar to Sunderland. Despite only winning 1-0 we absolutely ripped Sunderland to pieces and their goalkeeper probably wont have a better game in his life, he must of saved around five or six key chances.

Three goals in two games this month for the young man, he is putting pressure on Rescaldani to succeed as the spot is currentl his to lose.

We can't expect to go to St James at take anything but we gave a good performance which shows the lads still believe they can go and cause upsets, we was unlucky today and the officials wasnt the best it has to be said.

Svensson (62')
MOTM: Jonas Svensson
What a result!!! Probably our best result of the season against moneybags City. Their wage bill is 15 times ours per week and what we spend in one season can buy them a player. Our fighting spirit is unbuyable though and we come away a very, very happy team. The fans was the 12th man today and was a credit to the club.

WOOOOOOW! This triumphs last games result by a country mile. We come away with a late winner against another giant in the league, it looked very unlikely when Chelsea went into half time leading and comfortable.. Once again my players dug in and backed eachother up and rallied their next teammate to a great win.

A very mixed month for Lactic fans.
Barclays Premier League
Saturday 4th October 2014
St James' Park
Newcastle 2 - 1 Wigan
Longo (49'), Faurlin sent off
MOTM: Jose Paolo Guerrero
We can't expect to go to St James at take anything but we gave a good performance which shows the lads still believe they can go and cause upsets, we was unlucky today and the officials wasnt the best it has to be said.
Barclays Premier League
Saturday 18th October 2014
DW Stadium
Wigan 1 - 1 Man City
Svensson (62')
MOTM: Jonas Svensson
What a result!!! Probably our best result of the season against moneybags City. Their wage bill is 15 times ours per week and what we spend in one season can buy them a player. Our fighting spirit is unbuyable though and we come away a very, very happy team. The fans was the 12th man today and was a credit to the club.
Barclays Premier League
Saturday 25th October 2014
DW Stadium
Wigan 3 - 2 Chelsea
Putsila (11', 89'), O.G. (49')
MOTM: Anton Putsila
WOOOOOOW! This triumphs last games result by a country mile. We come away with a late winner against another giant in the league, it looked very unlikely when Chelsea went into half time leading and comfortable.. Once again my players dug in and backed eachother up and rallied their next teammate to a great win.
Capital One Cup Fourth Round

Barclays Premier League
Saturday 22nd November 2014
DW Stadium
Wigan 1 - 1 Reading
Annan (58'), Planas sent off
MOTM: Alex McCarthy
Even when we do take the lead, players feel the need to get sent off to make the job of winning the game easier...
Barclays Premier League
Saturday 29th November 2014
DW Stadium
Wigan 2 - 4 Swansea
Svensson (1'), O.G. (58')
MOTM: Wilfried Bony
I love conceding three goals in the last 10 minutes to lose the game.
No player of the month, the people who earn their money at this football club have all been fined 1 months wages due to a disgusting month of football which they have put me and the fans through, if things don't pick up during the next few fixtures there will be alot of faces departing the DW in January. I don't care how good some players was last year or a reputation they had before they came here. We must improve.

I said my goodbyes as I had come to the end of my spell as Wigan manager, I had a good time whilst there and managed two get two trophies added to my CV. But after such a good start to the season, after a 4-0 hammering in the cup the team just shattered and the players ended up giving up. Instead of slugging out the job, I decided to resign and maybe a change of manager will be just what the club needs to get them up and running again as there are a few gems in that team. I will be on the lookout for another job but it will be a job that suits me. I may have to wait a few weeks or months but it will be worth the wait.
