Big relief as ten-men Tics get back to winning ways. Thought the red card for Costelloe was harsh, a yellow would have been appropriate. The Red seemed to galvanise the players & they deservedly got their rewards with Asamoah’s deflected effort. Could this be a turning point in Latics season? #wafc

I know what you mean. They’ll be up for it, so we need to make sure we put out our strongest team and produce a professional performance.

Latics have been drawn at home against Hemel Hempstead Town from the National League South in First Round of the FA Cup.

Let’s make sure we avoid any slip ups.

About time we had another good FA Cup run.

Ties will be played between Friday, 31 October 2025 & Monday, 3 November 2025.

I think he’ll be given more time but a defeat against Port Vale would certainly up the pressure. His comments to the media haven’t done himself any favours.

Yep saw that. I think it’s a little misleading though as many of the clubs have smaller stadiums.

Lowe made some silly comments in his post match interviews. Not doing himself any favours. He looks rattled by recent results.

Latics starting lineup against Wycombe today. Interesting to see that Sessegnon, Raphael, Robinson & Cooper have retained their places after last week’s draw at Plymouth #wafc

Ian Aspinall @ianaspinall.bsky.social · 13d

Looks like Latics are out of the Vertu Trophy after a 2-1 defeat to Wolves U21s. Didn’t think we played too badly but clearly some of our young players aren’t quite ready for first team football. #wafc

Yes interesting to see how he gets on.

Today’s starting lineup for the Tics. Lots of changes due to injuries, suspensions and tactical tweaks. Looks like it could be a back four?! #wafc

Agreed it was a very poor performance overall. I also felt Lowe’s substitutions were odd and we didn’t push players forward or try to pose goal threat in the latter stages.

Ian Aspinall @ianaspinall.bsky.social · 23d

Latics outplayed by Cardiff today. The visitors tactics of starting with five up top penned us back into defence, wingbacks couldn’t get forward and we struggled throughout. Brian Barry-Murphy’s tactics spot-on and Ryan Lowe unable to cope and offer a Plan B. Worrying times. #wafc

Expecting a big improvement from midweek and last Saturday.

Latics 0 Wycombe 2. Another worrying performance by Latics as they are tamely knocked out of the Carabao Cup by the Chairboys. Lowe’s team on the night lacked energy, ideas and any real attacking threat. Massive improvement required for Saturday against Cardiff. #wafc
