OPPOSITION VIEW: WIGAN ATHLETIC


Sunderland face a number of former players, when we host Wigan on Saturday. We spoke to the lovely lads from the Mudhutter Fanzine to discuss Charlie Wyke, Nathan Broadhead, Max Power, James McClean and even Ashley Fletcher...


Wigan are 9th in the league. Would you be happy if the season ended right now?

Definitely. Given our limited recruitment, that would be a fantastic achievement. There’s very little in the division this year from top to bottom. Even so, the objective has always been to finish higher than third bottom. It seems to change amongst some of our fanbase, who get carried away when we win one and react badly when we lose one but getting enough points to stay in the division is the primary aim. Beyond that, all we want is to have a bit of gentle mid table fun and avoid the continual stress of fighting relegation or winning titles every alternative season.
