12th Man – Cooking up a feast

Latics’ captain Sam Morsy

You can’t help but love Paul Cook after such a great opening to his tenure as Wigan Athletic manager. Cook has won five, drawn one and lost one of his opening seven games and the style of football has been an absolute pleasure to watch.

Gone are the dour defensive days of Warren Joyce’s time in charge. Cook has quickly eliminated the despondency of last season and created an upbeat feeling around the club.

Last Saturday the performance against Portsmouth was a case in point as they set about their opponents right from the kick off.

Portsmouth had to contend with wave after wave of attacks and looked shellshocked as Cook’s team provided a feast of attacking football.

Latics created chance after chance in the opening half and went ahead through Ivan Toney after only eight minutes.

Toney could easily have had a hat trick and Nick Powell hit the crossbar and forced Luke McGee into a reflex save as Latics were in total control.

How Latics weren’t five or six goals ahead at half time was a complete mystery to everyone inside the DW Stadium.

After Chey Dunkley was red carded Portsmouth got an unlikely equaliser but Latics still had plenty more chances.

Will Grigg should’ve sealed the three points when he had a golden chance but headed straight at McGee. But surely it is only a matter of time before Cook’s attack minded team gives someone a serious hiding.

On paper, Cook’s formation of 4-2-3-1 might appear negative to some, with two holding players in front of the back four, but the shield of Morsy and Evans gives the four offensive players the freedom to get forward at every opportunity.

Cook’s style of football has been exhilarating and the way that the team constantly push forward is providing great viewing for the fans.

Comparisons with another scouser and former Latics’ manager Paul Jewell are inevitable.

Jewell’s team won the Division Two championship in 2002–03 with a points total of 100 and with a run of 10 consecutive wins along the way. The club lost only four times all season as they secured promotion.

Although it’s still early in the season Cook’s team look capable of emulating Jewell’s success. But like Jewell’s game-at-a-time philosophy, Cook won’t be getting carried away and will want to keep expectations contained at this stage in the campaign.

It’s a pity that we’ve no game this weekend due to the International call ups, but it’s important recognition of the hard work done by Sam Morsy (Eqypt) and Lee Evans (Wales) who have been key to Latics’ excellent start to the season.

Chances galore but Latics are held – Wigan Athletic 1 Portsmouth 1

Posted on August 27, 2017 by ianhaspinall

Ivan Toney on target for Latics

Paul Cook’s Latics somehow failed to win a game they totally dominated against his former club Portsmouth at the DW Stadium.

Wigan created chance after chance in the opening half and went ahead through Ivan Toney after eight minutes. Toney could easily have had a hat trick and Nick Powell hit the crossbar and forced Luke McGee into a reflex save as Latics were in total control.

But the second goal didn’t come and when Chey Dunkley was dismissed for lashing out at Brett Pitman early in the second half Pompey gained a foothold in the match.

A pinpoint header by substitute Conor Chaplin gave Portsmouth an unlikely equaliser but Latics still had more chances and Will Grigg should’ve sealed the three points but he headed straight at McGee.

Gareth Evans was dismissed for a second yellow on 88 minutes as both teams finished with ten men and a point each.

Latics had kept the same starting eleven from the win at Oldham and they were on the front foot right from the kick off and went ahead after only eight minutes.

Powell found Gavin Massey who ran into the box and set up Toney who finished from close range.

They could have doubled the lead after 14 minutes when Massey put in a terrific low cross that Toney reached but McGee managed to block with his body.

Then Powell saw his stunning effort from the edge of the box come back off the crossbar after 22 minutes.

Latics struck the post again after 37 minutes with another great move. Sam Morsy sent Massey clear down the right, who crossed low to the near post. Toney slid in, but McGee somehow blocked his effort on the goal line.

McGee then deflected Powell’s bullet of a drive for a corner a minute later, before he palmed away Lee Evans’ goal bound effort a minute after that.

Latics should have been five or six goals ahead at the interval such was their dominance but a warning sign came from Pompey when Jamal Lowe fired over the crossbar from a great position in added time.

Latics continued to create opportunities at the beginning of the second half with McGee making good saves to deny Michael Jacobs and Lee Evans.

But on 58 minutes a moment of madness by Chey Dunkley gave Pompey an advantage. Dunkley shielded a ball out for a corner with Pitman, the two clashed and Dunkley struck out. The referee gave a straight red.

Latics had to reshuffle, Terrell Thomas replaced Toney and slotted into defence, with Powell moved into the lone striker role.

Latics still managed to create opportunities and Powell hit the post again on 68 minutes but substitute Chaplin gave Pompey an unlikely equaliser when he peeled away at the far post to head past Walton.

Adam May might have given the visitors the lead on 80 minutes when he forced Walton into an excellent full length save with his long range effort.

Latics could then have secured the three points when substitute Grigg got on the end of Nathan Byrne’s right-wing cross but his header was straight at McGee.

Pompey were reduced to ten men on 88 minutes when Gareth Evans was shown a second yellow card for bringing down Jacobs on the edge of the box.

In added time Evans’ free kick was denied by Jack Whatmough’s header and the match ended in an unlikely draw.

12th Man – Cooking up a storm

Paul Cook – the centre of attention

Latics unbeaten run came to an end as they lost 4-1 to Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night but they will be hoping to maintain their winning League One form against Paul Cook’s former club Portsmouth tomorrow.

Pompey are expected to have a 2,000 strong following at the DW Stadium and they are likely to give Cook a noisy reception after he left them for Latics. There has even been talk of inflatable snakes and other gimmickry to chastise him.

The Pompey fans were obviously disappointed when Cook moved to the DW Stadium but surely he deserves tremendous credit for getting them promoted from League Two.

Portsmouth had been on a downward trajectory until Cook took over and transformed the fortunes of their club. They really should be very grateful for what he achieved during his time at Fratton Park rather than berating him for moving on.

There are a number of reasons for Cook’s decision to leave, but his desire for a new challenge at Latics, a return to his native North West and the takeover at Pompey by the former Chief Executive of Disney Michael Eisner were all contributing factors.

Many Portsmouth fans said they were actually pleased that Cook left, as they believe they now have a better manager in Kenny Jackett. Only time will tell who is right but Latics fans certainly feel that they have got the best of the deal.

Pompey’s fans have high expectations after the takeover by the Eisner family and the promise of investment. They wanted a fast start under new manager Jackett but they have had a mixed opening to the campaign winning one against Rochdale, drawing one against Walsall and losing one to Oxford United.

I still expect them to be challenging near the top of the table but they will not want to fall too far behind at the start of the season.

Latics made eleven changes during the week at Villa Park as Cook rightly demonstrated where his priorities lie. The cup game gave the manager the opportunity to assess his players returning from injury, fringe players and some of the younger players but he rested his League One starting eleven.

He will be expecting his first team to be refreshed and raring to go against Pompey but he also made it clear that he wasn’t happy with the second half performance at Oldham.

“From half time onwards we weren’t the better team on the pitch and we allowed Oldham to get a foot hold in it, so looking back I was a bit disappointed. I felt we should have been stronger and put the game to bed, but luckily we won the game and I’m sure everyone will be pleased with that. There’s still a lot of improvements and work to be done.”

It could be a feisty encounter tomorrow as Portsmouth will be keen to get one over on their former manager but Cook will be equally determined to show that he made the right choice coming back to Wigan.

Unbeaten run comes to an end – Aston Villa 4 Wigan Athletic 1

Posted on August 22, 2017 by ianhaspinall
Villa Park

No joy for Latics at Villa Park

Latics unbeaten opening to the season came to an end as they lost 4-1 to Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup (League Cup) at Villa Park.

Both Latics and Villa made eleven changes from their starting line ups from Saturday’s league games as both teams demonstrated where their priorities lie.

Scott Hogan gave Villa the lead after 19 minutes when he slotted home from Albert Adomah’s cross. Adomah then added a second on 36 minutes when his first time volley flew into the top corner past debutant keeper Jamie Jones.

Latics reduced the arrears on 43 minutes when Ryan Colclough picked up Max Power’s pass and drove past Jed Steer from 12 yards, but almost immediately Villa went up the other end and restored their two goal advantage when Hogan scored from the edge of the box.

Paul Cook’s team started positively at the beginning of the second half with Terell Thomas heading narrowly wide of the post. However Villa’s progress to the Third Round was confirmed when James Bree’s cross wasn’t cleared in the 74th minute and Bikir Bjarnason poked the ball home at the far post.

At least Latics’ fans won’t have to get up at 4.15 am to see the draw for the next round of the Carabao Cup in Bejing!

Wigan cruise to another victory – Oldham Athletic 0 Wigan Athletic 2

Posted on August 20, 2017 by ianhaspinall
Oldham away

Wigan threaten from a corner

Wigan maintained their one hundred per cent record and moved to the top of League One with a comfortable win at struggling Oldham.

Wigan went ahead after only eight minutes when Ivan Toney turned home Lee Evans’ cross from close range.

Oldham were in disarray and it was not long before Michael Jacobs increased Wigan’s lead when he converted another chance following a goalmouth scramble.

The away team were in total control and should have added further goals in the first half but some poor finishing and good saves by Ben Wilson denied them.

The second half was a scrappy affair and Oldham did try to make a fist of it but they rarely looked like penetrating Wigan’s defence which was well marshalled by Dan Burn.

Paul Cook’s team have had a remarkable start to the season and are looking a very good bet for promotion.

Wigan were on top right from the kick off pressing deep into the Oldham half.

Lee Evans fired wide after five minutes and created the opening goal on eight minutes crossing for Ivan Toney to score his first goal for the club since joining from Newcastle United on loan.

Jacobs then quickly doubled the lead on 15 minutes, his first effort from inside the box was saved but his follow up was fired through a group of defenders and past keeper Wilson.

Wigan were now in total control and should have added a third after a slick move in the 23rd minute. Nick Powell and Jacobs had a neat interchange on the edge of the box and the former Manchester United midfielder’s low drive had Wilson at full stretch to make the save.

Gavin Massey then forced another fine save from Wilson after 36 minutes after being set up by Jacobs.

It was looking as though Wigan would get five or six goals but some poor finishing and good keeping by Wilson somehow prevented a massacre.

Only 2-0 at the interval but there was an expectation of further Wigan goals in the second half.

However, Oldham started the second half more positively, probably after receiving a verbal rocket by manager John Sheridan.

Aaron Amadi-Holloway’s header forcing an early save for Christian Walton.

The game then descended into a scrappy affair with both teams cancelling each other out and Wigan knowing that as long as they kept Oldham at bay the three points would be confirmed.

Toney did fire just over on 57 minutes and Evans was denied by a late Peter Clarke tackle in the box, but clear opportunities were few and far between for either side.

Oldham substitute Darius Ossey did have a late chance, firing straight at Walton but by then the three points were already sealed for the away team.

Wigan had eased their way to the three points and moved to the top of the table against a team who look likely to be struggling at the opposite end of the table.

12th Man – Cook’s positive vibes

Posted on August 18, 2017 by ianhaspinall
Paul Cook suit

Paul Cook has banished the negativity

I’m trying not to get too carried away so early in the season but Latics have made an impressive start to the campaign. They rarely have a good start and it is the first time they’ve won their first three games since Paul Jewell’s team conquered the Second Division with 100 points in 2002/03.

New manager Paul Cook has quickly changed the atmosphere around the club and banished the negativity surrounding last season’s relegation.

Cook’s banter and plain speaking has endeared him to the fans and the players have responded with improved performances on the pitch.

Latics have some very talented players at the club but they simply weren’t performing to their potential last season.

The managerial changes certainly did not help matters and the high turnover of players inevitably created unrest in the camp, but the transformation under Cook and his coaching staff is remarkable.

Admittedly they are now in a lower division and the calibre of the opposition is not as good but the improvement in performances is for all to see.

The manager has let some players leave the club but he has also brought in quite a few new faces with five making their home debuts against Bury.

Christian Walton, Chey Dunkley, Gavin Massey, Lee Evans and Ivan Toney have all settled quickly and they were integral to Sunday’s win.

Cook has quickly established an attacking style of play with a 4-2-3-1 formation and the players already look comfortable playing possession football.

Against Bury they demonstrated their promotion credentials with a confident 4-1 victory. There was a stand out performance by Nick Powell who has started this campaign where he left off last season and grabbed a brace.

Like his hat trick against Barnsley last season the former Manchester United midfielder was unstoppable being involved in three of the four goals and most of Latics’ best moves.

Powell is a massive asset at this level and if the club can repel any suitors and keep him fit then he is certainly capable of helping them to promotion.

Playing alongside Powell were Michael Jacobs and Lee Evans who both ran him close for the Match of the Match award. Jacobs looks to have regained the form that was so important in Latics’ title win in 2015/16.

As well as getting on the score sheet he singlehandedly took on the entire Bury defence in one dazzling dribble setting up a great opportunity for Will Grigg.

New loan signing Evans bossed the midfield and created numerous chances as well as setting up Powell’s first goal with an inch perfect curling cross. He rounded off a great home debut with a superb 25-yard net buster.

Latics have another local derby tomorrow when they travel to Oldham Athletic. They will be expected to come away with the three points but Cook will have to guard his players against any complacency after such a positive opening to the season.

Promise of good times ahead as Wigan rout Bury – Wigan Athletic 4 Bury 1

Posted on August 14, 2017 by ianhaspinall

Nick Powell at the double

Latics demonstrated their promotion credentials with a confident 4-1 victory against local rivals Bury.

Former Manchester United midfielder Nick Powell grabbed a brace as Latics maintained their good start to the League One campaign.

The home team produced some slick attacking football and went ahead when Michael Jacobs turned in Powell’s cross but Bury responded through new signing Alex Bruce’s diving header.

Powell restored the lead when he headed home a superb Lee Evans cross and then made it 3-1 from the spot after Ivan Toney was brought down in the area.

Evans made it 4-1 with a blistering drive but it could easily have been five or six as Latics produced some superb free flowing football to dominate the second half.

Latics had started brightly with Powell firing narrowly wide after only two minutes.

Then a free flowing move involving Powell and Michael Jacobs saw Reece James’ cross well saved by Joe Murphy at the near post.

But it was not long before Latics went ahead with another neat interchange between the strikers.

Ivan Toney flicked a ball on to Powell who set up Jacobs in the box and he converted with aplomb.

But within two minutes The Shakers stunned the home crowd by drawing level. Zeli Ismail’s corner was met by Alex Bruce’s diving header and Bury had a foothold in the game.

The Shakers briefly threatened through Harry Bunn and then Tom Aldred but Latics were soon back in the ascendancy.

James breaking down the left found Powell at the far post but he was unable to get his header on target.

Powell then went close from a Jacobs corner but his effort at the far post was well saved by Murphy.

Murphy then came to the rescue again when he saved at close range from Chey Dunkley following Evans’ corner.

The teams went into the interval level, but Latics commenced the second half like the first creating chances right from the kick off.

Gavin Massey nearly got on the end of a deep cross by Evans and then again went close on 50 minutes when he couldn’t quite connect with Toney’s cross from the right.

Latics regained the lead on 53 minutes when Powell calmly headed home Evans’ inch perfect cross from six yards out.

The home team grew in confidence and were now creating even more problems for the Bury back line.

Latics were camped around the Bury box and on 63 minutes Aldred pushed Toney to the floor to give away a penalty.

Powell in typically confident fashion despatched the spot kick straight down the middle to make it 3-1.

After a few feisty challenges on Powell and a booking for retaliation the Man of the Match was withdrawn and replaced by Alex Gilbey. Ryan Colclough also coming on for the tiring Massey.

On 84 minutes Will Grigg replaced Toney and the striker should have added a 4th goal in the 87th minute. He expertly let the ball run across his body in the penalty area and fired a rising shot just over the cross bar. Gilbey then forced Murphy into a full length save tipping his shot around the post.

Latics had been rampant in the second half, Jacobs producing a particularly dazzling run turning several Bury defenders inside out, but unfortunately the final effort was blocked.

Grigg did have another opportunity but was unable to react inside the six yard box. However, on 92 minutes Evans unleashed a blistering 25 yard strike to put the seal on a thoroughly convincing victory.

12th Man – Cook’s high standards

Posted on August 11, 2017 by ianhaspinall

Latics continued their good start to the season with a somewhat lucky 2-1 League Cup victory against a combative Blackpool team.

Paul Cook’s rotation policy for the League Cup was an eminently sensible approach to what is a lengthy fixture list.

He made 11 changes to the team which won at MK Dons but he will have learned some valuable information about his fringe players and those returning from injury.

The manager has clearly stated his list of priorities for the season with the league as the number one, then the FA Cup, League Cup and finally the tarnished Football League Trophy.

Although Latics progressed past Blackpool, Cook was rightly critical of the performance when he said,

“In general we want to control games better than that, we had no real control of the game, we were hanging on and that’s the disappointing thing but it was a great experience for the young lads. Without a doubt fitness is an element but this team had never played together, they only trained Sunday and Monday and it’s important that you develop all the good habits on a daily basis and those lads’ habits will ultimately get better as we go on.”

For whatever reason some of Latics’ returning players didn’t impress on the night and that will affect their chances of breaking into the league team.

I expect there will be a much different starting eleven for Sunday’s home game and it will be interesting to see if any of Tuesday’s team start against Bury.

Cook rightly sets high standards and will be demanding a much improved performance in what could be a tricky local derby.

Bury have shown ambition by recruiting extensively in the close season. Manager Lee Clark has signed 18 players either permanently or on loan in the belief that they can be challenging near the top of the table.

The Shakers may have lost last season’s top scorer James Vaughan to Sunderland but amongst those signed are former Everton, Leeds and PNE striker Jermaine Beckford, Charlton’s loanee striker Nicky Ajose and former Huddersfield winger Harry Bunn.

Bury opened their League One campaign with a 1-0 victory over Walsall and the margin would have been greater if they had not missed two penalties.

Beckford and Chris Maguire both missed from the spot but Beckford made amends by heading home what proved to be the winner in first-half stoppage time.

Cook will be determined that Latics continue their good start to the campaign against Bury but he may lose his fast fading voice in the process.

Wigan bolt out of the starting blocks – MK Dons 0 Wigan Athletic 1

Posted on August 6, 2017 by ianhaspinall
IMG_6404

View from the away end

Match report by Jamie Aspinall.

For a change, Latics started the season with a win and a great performance to boot. Nick Powell was the only player able to find a way past ex-Latics keeper Lee Nicholls, who kept the score down to 1-0 but it should have really been more.

It was an organised and pleasing performance from Paul Cook’s side and a composed finish by Powell after great vision from Michael Jacobs rewarded the travelling support of 1,200 Wigan fans with a well-deserved victory.

Apart from the sending off of Callum Elder, things couldn’t have gone much more to plan for the away side. The opening stages saw Latics steady themselves into the game showing good shape with a focus on possession football.

They created many chances throughout the ninety minutes, most of which involved Michael Jacobs, who made countless attacking runs, feeding the strikers with his positive passing. He probably should’ve been on the score sheet after numerous efforts on goal, but many of his shots were lacking in the power required to beat MK Dons’ Man of the Match Lee Nicholls in goal.

Latics’ new captain Sam Morsy summed up the game perfectly… “we were in total control and should have converted more to be honest”.

Paul Cook is trying to instil a hard working, fighting mentality into his team with team spirit at the core. He came out before the start of the game to salute the fans and mentioned in his post match interview “I will always thank our supporters for turning up and the lads should always go over too, irrespective of the result”. He also said “I really enjoyed watching us play today”, I think most Wigan fans will agree that it was the first positive performance for some time.

Considering this was the first competitive game of the season the team showed great synergy throughout. New arrival, Christian Walton looked commanding in goal when called upon, Chey Dunkley was strong and showed a good partnership with Dan Burn.

Nathan Byrne battled all game getting stuck into tackles. Callum Elder probably had the quietest performance of the Latics’ starting line up until his mistimed tackle unfairly saw him sent off. His replacement in the second half, Terell Thomas added more of an attacking option in the left back position.

The midfield was held together by the passing duo of Lee Evans and Sam Morsy, which gave freedom to Michael Jacobs and Gavin Massey to make runs and drive at the MK Dons defence. Massey along with Jacobs was guilty of not converting a few very good chances in front of goal.

Nick Powell was his usual dangerous self and was yet again on hand to provide the three points, Wigan fans will be hoping his season is injury free this time around.

Ivan Toney worked hard to hold up the ball and the determination was there, it was hard to tell whether he will be amongst the goals this season as he only really had one clear cut chance when a header from a cross was saved well by Nicholls on 60 minutes.

The early signs are very positive for Wigan in terms of performance and how well the team seems to have gelled in such a short space of time.

Confidence should be high going into the next League game against Bury at home and with the players on show yesterday, and with some good quality waiting in the wings there will be high hopes at the club for a promotion push back to the Championship.

12th Man – Cooking up something good

Posted on August 4, 2017 by ianhaspinall
will-grigg-v-blackburn

Will he be on fire?

It’s been a typically hectic close season at Latics with a new manager Paul Cook, new coaching staff and the usual high turnover of players.

For some fans transfer speculation can be unsettling as their favourite players seek a move away or they are told that the players are not in the manager’s plans.

I was disappointed with the departures of experienced defenders Stephen Warnock and Jake Buxton and keeper Matt Gilks but that may have been down to the large wage bill rather than any shortcomings of the players.

Max Power has expressed his desire to leave while Omar Bogle doesn’t apparently fit into Cook’s style of play.

Both would’ve been assets in League One but Latics do have strength in depth in most areas with some promising new signings.

Young forward Ivan Toney joined on loan from Newcastle United on Wednesday but I’m still expecting a few more ins and outs before the end of the transfer window with Peterborough midfielder Marcus Maddison among those linked with Latics.

However, competition for a starting place will be tough with an array of options particularly in midfield with Sam Morsy, David Perkins, Alex Gilbey, Lee Evans, Jordan Flores, Nathan Byrne and Michael Jacobs.

Going forward, youngster Callum Lang has had an impressive pre-season and if Will Grigg and Nick Powell can get back to full fitness they will surely score plenty of goals at this level.

Looking at League One as a whole I think Blackburn will be the favourites for automatic promotion as they have a strong squad and have done well since Tony Mowbray took over.

There’s about eight or nine teams who could be in the hunt for the play-offs. Cook’s former club Portsmouth look strong and I expect them to be amongst those challenging at the top end alongside Latics, Fleetwood, Scunthorpe and Bradford.

New manager Cook looks the right fit for Latics and has made a good impression with the fans in pre-season.

He certainly has the potential to be successful, like another Liverpudlian Paul Jewell who led the club from the third tier to the Premier League between 2001 and 2005, but only time will tell if he can reach those heady heights.

The season kicks off tomorrow at one of Will Grigg’s former clubs MK Dons and everyone will be hoping that the striker can reignite the fire that took Latics to the League One title in 2015/16.
