The worrying thing for me is that 14 out of tonight’s 17 are here next year. If Wardle stays it’s 15. It’s Powell’s side so of course he has to shoulder the responsibility.

Anyone questioning whether the coaching team are to blame have to look at the statistic that we have conceded 30+ points in 12 out of 22 games this season. Last year we didn’t conceded more than 30 points in any game .

Be careful what you wish for

Put everyone (including Powell) out of his misery. Nothing personal but he isn’t the right man and I hate to think what McGuire and Vaughan will think having been coached by the best.

You're asking me do I take drugs? From someone who only posts crap/unfunny attempted jokes. The only drugs around here are the laughing gas pellets you have to take after posting one of your crap/unfunny jokes in order for someone to laugh: ie you.

I take it you didnt watch the game and see the speed the ball was moved out the backs to move around their forwards. Did you notice how much more dangerous we were with Michaele and Bullock on? They gave us much more space, especially Williams who looked extremely dangerous. We should have gone in ahead at HT, we were at least as good as Wigan.

Second half, they ruthlessly targeted our weaknesses. You might want to consider too hiw dangerous that Wigan back line is.

Powell now looks like a man that realises he doesnt know how to fix us. I feel sorry for him. The board need to relieve him of his duties. There is not one shred of evidence showing we are getting any better. The effort is there we are just poor (just like Tolouse)

I think it's hard for the board to sack Powell now, he has taken us to far down the rabbit hole with the amount of changes and they've backed him to the hilt, in for a penny. I've been keen to back him too as we have under performed for years given the players We've had. Things needed to change but listening to his post match comments every week is putting me off him.

We're beating Toulouse next week. And we'll have another win at least by the end of the season.

Next year, with Powell in charge, we will be top 5. Mark my post if you like.

Anyone disagree.

Last week's match thread got to 196 posts before the 'debate' got locked.

I'm wondering how far this week's will go?....

Without getting personal and insulting what are the excuses for the other ten or so 30+ point defeats? Did Hull Kr, huddersfield, wakefield have a lethal back line too?

Agree. But he can't wave a magic wand and everything work at once. Some good steps forward tonight with loads still to improve.

Such a pity there isn't a button that says laughter x 1,000,000.

I hope you enjoy our demise

I #####ing hate it.

It's ripping me, and other supporters to shreds. But, as you've said a page or so before, you're loving Powell still being here...... WHAT A PLUM

Top 5? Wow. Is that our benchmark now? Depressing

Before criticising me, why didn't you call out the two posts which were personal with me - the ones I responded too. It's easier to be a sheep though.

I only get personal if someone gets personal with me first. I've said before, they'll get it and I make no apology.

It's not perfect, and there's lots to improve upon, but it's getting better. That first half was the best we've played all season imo.

Good things come to those who wait.

I disagree.
We may snatch a win against toulouse. And that will just about save us.
We will not be to 5 next year. We will struggle to make the 6. 14 of the 17 who played tonight are here next year. This is our team for next year.

And if you think to 5 is a good return. Sorry that's nuts. If this is building to something bigger and something more promising and big. We should be winning the domestic trebble next season. No ifs or buts

But Powell will have a brilliant excuse lined up when we go on a 3 match losing streak. We didn't have our best players back from international duty until mid January.

.... and some on here thought rubber duckie was an attention seeker

I said after watching Toulouse last night, they are just another version of us. Absolutely zero ability to see out a game from a winning position.

Next Thursday will be pretty nerve-shredding. We should win. But I won't be backing us. In fact I'll be having a small wager on Toulouse to soften the blow if disaster does strike.

If Williams turns up and the young lads keep their nerve and perform, then we should have enough.

A leeds fan here in peace.

Can i just ask what have you seen from Powells first 21 matches coaching your club that is giving you confidence?

He’s literally taken you from a top 4 team to one that’s skirting with relegation.

As a Leeds fan i know all about that of course in recent years, but finally we seem to have found the right man in Smith to move the club forward, I’m absolutely dumbfounded as to why any wire fan would think the same of DP?

We will not get relegated as we are just as bad as Toulouse, but no worse. We're lucky we won a few at the start of the season before all of our rotten apples caused us so many problems.

I don't think Powell will get the sack but if he gets more then 6 games playing this way next year then I'm done.

If Saints, Wigan or Leeds has appointed Powell and found themselves 10th in the league and conceding 30+points every game, they would sack Powell.

There are only a few diehards remaining now in fairness. Majority think he's done.

This has to be Mrs Powells burner account, doesn’t fancy leaving the delights of Lymm and heading back to Yorkshire,

(It's about putting your money where your mouth is (although not literally money).

OK, let's come back to this post next week. One of us is going to look a pr!ck.

I didn't criticise you.

But now I am a sheep.

I just don't understand why people cannot make posts with insulting others.

Didn't saints sack cunningham when saints were only something ike 4th in the league.

Wigan are ruthless as they sacked millward many years ago because they were scraping the playoffs.

Leeds have traditionally held there nerve. I hope the Leeds fan can answer. Did you sack your coach after you lost the first 11 on the bounce. Or did you stick it out. (I'm not bashing. I'm genuinely curious)
Leeds did see that Powell wasn't going to take them further when they moves him upstairs and bought Tony Smith in. So in that regard they saw it coming and moved him aside.

Yes we showed some endeavour.
Yes some ref decisions didn't go our way.
But
Trying to make out that, don't worry, Powell has sorted everything out and we are in for a golden era for Warrington is, in my mind, and based on almost a season long experience, is totally delusional.
The team shows all the evidence of being poorly coached, badly prepared and going backwards not forwards.
Stop trying to defend the indefensible, bite the bullet and admit it just isn't working with him.

Leeds sacked Furner after 14 games.

You then post this
