All must wins for wigan.

Wire away

Saford Cup

Salford home

Celtic Away

Important time in the context of our season.

Nothing short of 4 wins will be good enough

It is time for the annual tricky dicky - the next four weeks - the next 3 games - the next 5 games thread I see

Prepare to be disappointed then.

But never mind, i'm sure Brain Noble will get another chance next season.

I made a statement on the cherry&white [url=http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=10432197935facebook page[/url back in February......



....disappointed - tick. Ashamed and Embarrassed - Hmmm maybe not yet but the season is still young.

Its a massive four weeks for this club. Consistency at this time of the season is what we need now.

A loss tomorrow and i think our season is over regarding the super league.

But ill settle for a top eight finish with us running out of steam in the play offs and a challenge cup win.

This thread only ever comes about when your next 4 games are team you think and should win

Your point being?

ALL are remaining games are must win. Then we wont have any problems.

You prepared to take that back then if we win them all?

I thought as committed a troll as you would have researched his subject better. The 'next 4 weeks' thread comes from Tricky Dicky on average every 4 weeks.

I didn't see Saints on that list.

Won't need to. Won't win the next one never mind four.

Me neither Jack.

He's got a very short memory.

In my opinion we need to win the next 4 to even consider offering BN a new deal.

Noble will survive on winning the last three, assuming we do. The cup is Noble's saviour if our league form remains inconsistent.

'Brain capacity' and 'tadpole' are two terms that spring to mind.

Pitty the next 4 games are not against your lot at Murrayfielf then eh?

So you spend enough time on this board to know that then?

We are approaching the point where we cant afford to lose anymore league games if we want to be in a position to mix things up at the business end of the year.

The cup clearly is our best chance of success however.

We have to win the next 4 games imo if we stand a chance of getting into that top 4 positions(3rd or 4th basically) and obviously into the semi final of the cup.

Don't get me wrong even with wins in those 3 league games we may be struggling for top 4 but you never know and we just have to start building some momentum.

Biggest game of the season so far tonight imo.

The worst thing about all this is that I've got to the stage where I'm not hugely bothered.

We need a more forward-thinking coach. I'm not saying Noble should be sacked (certainly not without a replacement lined up) - I think he's done a few good things that he does't get credit for. But he's proved that he's not the man to take us up to the next level, and, as his term ends at the close of this season anyway, that should be it. It [ushould[/u be, but you never know. Therefore, the more games we lose, the less likely it is that the club will do something crazy like offer him another contract.

Or is that being too cynical?

I still want Wigan to win every match they play, but at present we're just fighting fires. We need someone who can win wars.

Wire away tonight will be a difficult game, always has been regardless of position in table, form etc.

However, if we don't win the three following that then Nobby deserves the boot.

I for one never thought that Celtic Away would be described as a "Must Win".

I've not a clue how anybody can predict/access the next four weeks.

We're too inconsistant to have any say what so ever, and that's one of the most fustrating thing about the club at the moment.

If you're consistantly winning, great stuff. You look to maintain what you're doing and tweak performances.

If you're consistantly losing, you look at areas where you think you can improve and make changes.

With us, we'll perform ok one week then play abysmal the next with the same squad and the same tactics. We're simply consistantly inconsistant and it's hard to predict ANY game at the moment. It's really hard to build up enthusiasm when you don't know where you stand.
