All we need is the fans' support and a little bit off confidence and this is certainly not out of our reach. I am glad to finally see some positivity that will shut up the fear-mongers who call themselves passionate supporters. Honestly, some of the things I see on this Forum are ridiculous. GET BEHIND YOUR TEAM!!

Always behind the team but you need to remember the type of players Wigan have. Battlers who want to stay in the prem with Wigan. Us however are a team full if rats waiting to jump the sinking ship. REALITY CHECK.

If they want to jump ship, they still need to prove their worth, it isn't in their interests to have relegation on their CV's

I think we are overlooking the main difference between Wigan last season and us this. Martinez knew he had nothing to lose and went all out to win games. They stunned Arsenal at the EMirates and also beat United who at the time were reigning Champions. They did this not by playing 1 up front and hoping that they might nick a goal. But by going to the eMirates with three strikers and attacking. Harry wont play like that against the big guns. The fear of losing has appeared to have overided the need to win games. Mackie up front on his own wont win games in this league.

I wonder what their fans said/did after they lost that must win game against Swansea? I'm sure that when it was followed by two draws they all moaned like hell, threw their season tickets in the bin and went to watch the Rugby League. On the other hand, their small but dedicated crowd of fans may have got right behind the team and supported them to the death.
I know which way I'm going and can guess about the majority on here

And he could up date it now, maybe use chilli sauce to do the colouring in and smear a bit of doner meat round the edges - real classy like
