My two'penneth, Wigan have an advantage that they have produced and promoted from within and have a great academy that produces first team ready quality year on year. Weve a long way to go to get anywhere near that but hopefully were on the right track now.

Its also far easier to recruit to a winning team which is one of the reasons Weve struggled as Weve had to pay overs to get players in whereas in the past perhaps we could play a bit more hardball with players etc.

All in all, Weve shifted some reight deadwood in the last year / year and a half, there's still (IMHO) still some chaff to cut / move on but when your perennially shopping in the bargain bin after everyone else has done their shopping then don't be surprised when you end up with the odd duff buy.

What is wrong with Connor - he has only played one game?

Not seen anything from Blease on Connor though?
