Progress With Unity Podcast #117: Charlton and Cardiff reviews, Blackpool and Norwich previews

I don't like this month's pre-occupation with a certain unlucky number. We just had Friday 13th and there are 13 league games to save Wigan's Championship season. I ate thirteen Holland's pies at last night's game and have taken precisely 13 trips to the bathroom since 1300 hours.

On the other hand, thirteen is my father's lucky number, and he's also a Wigan Athletic supporter. On that basis, I reckon we can expect 13 wins between now and 13 May 2015. Hey, this Championship stuff is easy, isn't it?

Difficult to be positive when we are heading out of the Championship the way we are, but believe it or not there is a bit of positivity to this week's edition, if you manage to find it though please let us know.

A shocking display last Friday was compounded by injury to two players, another defeat on Tuesday and realistically there is no way back. The big question that is being posed at the moment though is – how on earth is Malky Mackay still manager of Wigan Athletic?

Blackpool away on Saturday, always a good trip, this season it is the battle for the wooden spoon.

Progress With Unity Podcast #116: Reading review, Charlton & Cardiff previews

Welcome back from the PWU-designated February holidays! I hope you had a Happy Friday 13th and not a single bloke in a ski mask slashed you across the chest with a large blade.

If anything, this has been a fortuitous time for lucky Latics, who finally managed to scrape three points from a one-pointer for the first time since last year. I know that's only two months ago, but eight weeks is a long time to be skulking around Kenny Loggins' relegation zone.

Where's Wally-style task for this week's show: spot the negativity and win 13 smashed mirrors delivered to your door by black cats.

This week we have a real happy bunch after a fantastic result for the Latics down at the Madejski Stadium, surprising how a one nil win at Reading can have such a positive effect on such a bunch of miserable so and so's!

We discuss just how the win could affect the rest of the season, hopefully it will be the spur to a little run of results that will see us pull clear of the relegation mire.

We finish off this weeks episode with a look forward to two home games, Charlton on Friday and Cardiff on Tuesday, the crew are of the belief that we can put three wins on the bounce together, after all we are now entering Wigan time!

Contents: Reading is fun: a Royal review (0:00) including the £25,000 cost of a win (1:00) and Paul Kendrick's eleven minutes of stoppage time (10:00); Friday night fixtures advantage (11:55) including back to the Seventies (16:30) and cleaner sheets than a launderette (21:20); PWU Question of the Week: Friday Night's Alright? (23:20); potential post transfer window activity (29:10); kicking the Addick-tion – Charlton preview (36:00); Donkey Derby: Cardiff preview (42:00) including in the hole for three points (46:40); Cheap Plug of the Week: All Gone Latics 04 (51:30)

Progress With Unity Podcast #115: Ipswich review, Bournemouth preview

"So, Harry, are you bothered if I borrow your car?" (c)Simon Kendrick

BONG!!! BONG!!!

Nope, that wasn't Big Ben chiming to signal the end of the transfer window, but the PWU regulars banging their heads together in frustration once more. But there is light at the end of this lengthy Lancastrian tunnel of death in the form of new signings. The next generation has finally upon us, and Wigan Time shall soon begin!

This week's podcast has a performance report from the man at the scene, Adam who was at Portman Road on Saturday and was encouraged by the Latics performance.

There is a look through the transfer window and a bit of debate over the incomings and outgoings, was it a positive window? One thing is for sure Gaetan Bong has already made an impression.

We finish off with a look forward to Saturday and the visit of Bournemouth, some of the panel look forward with a sense of trepidation though!
