Pre-season Friendlies 2024

Looks as if Wigan may, for a friendly, bring a decent number of supporters tomorrow. It all helps to cut the losses!

Excellent news, that's my Saturday afternoon sorted. Thanks for the confirmation.

Correct regarding the league in which Whitfield got 8 but he got 2 in the FA Cup making his total 10 (not 11 as I first said). Personally feel we will miss Whitfield this coming season.

Whitfield scored 8 league - 2 FA Cup and 1 EFL Trophy (direct from a corner v Morecambe)

Ah the Trophy goal now I remember how he got 11 goals last season.

Tranmere beat Wigan 2-1 tonight don`t know if Wigan put a strong side out, Wigan starting X1 on X(Twitter).

According to someone on their forum it was a strong side. However the manager was far from happy with the display so perhaps they may be punished by making them play again today. Both Tranmeres' goals were penalties apparently for shirt pulling.

This has not been the most coordinated of pre-season schedules. From 2 warm-up games to cannon-fodder for a Europe-ready Scottish premier side, to a Stockport side who didn't understand where it was to be played and pulled out and now a bunch of kids from Wigan because their main squad played last night at one of our rivals.

Absolute joke, doesn't bode well for the future.
