Looks like Latics are out of the Vertu Trophy after a 2-1 defeat to Wolves U21s. Didn’t think we played too badly but clearly some of our young players aren’t quite ready for first team football. #wafc

Tonight’s Latics lineup in the Vertu Trophy versus Wolves U21s. A stronger team than I had expected with a few first teamers selected. #wafc

Today’s starting lineup for the Tics. Lots of changes due to injuries, suspensions and tactical tweaks. Looks like it could be a back four?! #wafc

Latics starting lineup for the Notlob derby. Disappointing to see our captain Jason Kerr still out injured but we should be confident after last Saturday’s performance against Doncaster. Come on Latics 💙 #wafc

Ryan Lowe not risking many of his first team squad tonight. An inexperienced and experimental line-up wasn’t good enough against Salford. #wafc

Impressive second half by the Tics. Matt Smith made a big difference when he came at the break. He dominated the midfield as we played on the front foot. A little unlucky not to take all three points. #wafc

Not a great spectacle but Latics are through to the third round of the Carabao Cup after defeating Stockport 1-0. Substitute Fraser Murray put the Tics through with a well executed late header #wafc

Latics a little lucky to go through to the next round. A debatable penalty converted by Paul Mullin. Notts County hit the post and Sam Tickle made a great save as Latics were hanging on at the end. #wafc
