Previous Games
This will be the third Wigan Athletic game that Craig Hicks has been in charge of, both of the previous two coming in our League One title winning campaign in 2021/22.
Away at Charlton back in August ‘21, Tendayi Darikwa and James McClean on the score sheet in a 0:2 win for the Latics, Jordan Jones picking up a yellow card in that game.
Hicks was next up away at Portsmouth at the tail end of that particular run-in in late April 22, despite going two goals up and having one hand on the Champions trophy we ended up conceding three times in the second half and had to wait a week to clinch pole position. Both Ben Amos and Tendayi Darikwa picking up yellows down at Fratton Park.
Craig Hicks was in charge of two Exeter games last campaign, both in League One, their 4:2 defeat away at Charlton in October and a 0:1 home defeat by Bolton in April.
Since becoming a National List official, Craig Hicks has clocked up 216 games, issued 663 yellow cards, 29 reds and awarded 49 penalties over the 7 seasons that he has been active.
