That was posted on Friday and was on the SLS on Sunday.

Slow reporting.

I am not sure I would call the Cas game progress from the Hull game myself.

Yes for 20 mins in the 2nd half we did look really good, but overall I would say we were better at Hull.

Again, we need to take this with a pinch of salt. He's not going to tell the press that Nobby's on his way.

I still wouldn't be surprised if some serious decision-making was going on in the backrooms, all dependent on the next few games.

with no relegation i cant see IL dipping into his pocket to fire a coach. he wont do it to bring in players.......

Chairman's vore of confidence - he'll be gone by the weekend....

Is this not the dreaded vote of confidence all football managers get just before they get sacked?

Hopefully! But i doubt it.

nevermind posting on here, what about my mortgage

What I found interesting in his interview on Sunday was the fact that he was pleased that Noble had included young talent as though his hand had not been forced by injury and suspension.

Yet on the other hand, when we hear that IL has spoken to Noble about the lack of young talent being selected, some people on here complain that he shouldn't be interfering in team matters.

Seems like a no-win position to me.

I didnt like the quote from either IL or BN saying we have lost 3 games out of 27 the facts are we have played 3 and lost 3 if we had only lost 3 games outa 27 im pretty certain we would finish top of the pile.

Other people can say what about Noble and the current Wigan team but imo this lazy attitude of oh well the comp is only won in Oct is a major concern for me.

There should be no room for failure at Wigan but for some reason they seem to have rationalised it in there own minds that it's ok.

To be honest it's insulting to the fans who turn up every week and pay what they do. If these games aren't as important as the ones later on in the season why not charge friendly prices as that what they seem to be considered as by BN and IL/

Declined

already been my mortgage company arent going to renew my mortgage even though i own part of the buggers (as a tax payer)!!!

If IL is so concerned then why hasn't he got Brian Noble a Brian Noble pack of forwards instead of an Ian Lenagan pack?

Hope he's not going to do a "Portsmouth" where the directors sold their four best players against the warnings of the coach. Then when they sold them and couldn't win a game the same directors who caused the damage then sacked the coach.

If you're going to have Brian Noble as coach then you have to give him his type of team. Noble has proved five years on the bounce that he can get his team to a Grand Final. It has to be his team, not the Chairman's team.
Then of course there were C Cup wins and World Cup Challenge victories.
Brian Noble can win trophies and repeatedly.
IL must recognise this and provide him with the players he wants to win us silverware.

props?

Then storm Parliament and demand an EGM of the shareholders to discuss matter; you'll get my vote

ted
the players brought into the team recently have been NOBLES choice.This has been stated more than once.

others have been here before Lenegan and have contracts.

as i have stated before there where many things wrong with our club ( on and off the pitch) before Lenegan took over and sadly its taking time to correct.

That is no excuse for the fact that our performances are worsening every season. Why are we so boring to watch, win or lose?

jimmy
i would think our team game plan........if we have one........are the reason we are failing to perform

i was told a recent past player had words with nobby about his tactics and they had a bit of a slanging match.

this player went home

Well Nobby tells me our training includes all sorts of set plays and dummy runners but the players throw it out of the window come match day, so I don't know what to believe about our tactics. I am firmly of the opinion, however, that there have been mistakes in team selection that must rest on his shoulders.

I for one await his next team selection with great interest since he clearly intimated that some players had to go.

If players aren't playing to instruction, then drop them. If it's half a dozen players not doing as they're told, drop them. It'll send a message out to the players.
