Found their recent results interesting. Not often a team will go six unbeaten while failing to score four times during that same run.
0-0 v Stockport
3-0 v Peterborough

4-0 v Bristol Rovers

Weird for a team to fail to score in 4 of the 6 games, but hit 3 and 4 goals in the other 2 games. If they had spread the goals around, they would have had 7 1-0 wins!Callumcafc said:Found their recent results interesting.

To be fair he’s not wrong that 4 wins and 2 defeats is better than 2 wins and 4 drawssam3110 said:

Which would have been very impressive in 6 games.killerandflash said:

Statistically shown that most runs end at 6 or 7, which is of particular interest to some gamblers. Two runs are in play here of course, the unbeaten run and not conceding.
Wigan's next games are Tuesday at Carlisle in the EFL Trophy (Carlisle are 15/8), then Cambridge away, on 19th October, which will be their 7th league fixture in the run. Then it's home to Mansfield on 22nd October.

Next 2 games you'd expect them to win too. Carlisle the division below and Cambridge have been abject in the league, they've scored 6 goals all season and only have 1 point. Mansfield will be a tough test though0

Absolutely it's better in terms of the points total.Scoham said:

But it doesn't really work like that in real life, does it? I mean, if you're drawing a game 1-1 with 10 mins to go then you could go all gung-ho kamikaze for the win as that will get you 3 points rather than 1. But that could leave you open and you end up getting picked off, lose the game and get 0 points instead.
Fast forward to the following week and you're in the same position and the exact same thing happens and you turn 1 point into 0 points. And the next week, and the next.
Yes, you might end up turning 1 point into 3 every so often, but just because you fcuked it up last week doesn't mean you're less likely to fuck it up this week. Or the week after. Or the week after that.
Just ask Ossie Ardiles.
