Where have you been for the last 10 losses?Great win and some great individual performances but Cats had quite a few missing and how many teams bounce the week after playing Saints?Got to back this up not another Jekyll + Hyde performance.
Much needed two points that takes some pressure off (especially Powell), but this one win cannot be counted as a complete solution given Catalan's were hampered missing players and were pretty awful. Good performance by Wire, let's move on and build on it.

Honestly..... a coach gets brought in to TOTALLY overhaul the mentality at a club of perennial underacheivers... he ships out a load of poison and deadwood... has to try and rebuild a squd mid season with stop gaps and loans... and people are calling for his head
This thread will look stupid 12 months from now.. and so will most of the people in it.

I hope you're right.
As I mentioned though, feeling annoyed has been well justified, we have been appalling.

If people didn't feel that the situation was going to turn around then their patience ran out before yours. I was getting to that point myself being honest, no upturn in at least performance before the end of this month and my faith would have ran out. This could still be a false dawn by the way, as enjoyable as it was.
There weren't many shouting about the good times before this afternoons game BTW, Gazwire for sure, anyone else? How could anybody possibly claim that they were convinced at all that things could work out before a positive sign? Today was the first seriously positive sign.
As one who has seen in his faith in Powell slide in the last few months, I hope we do look back in twelve months and wonder "get rid? What were we thinking?"
More importantly though, I hope we're not back here in a week lamenting a huge step backwards. Excellent though it was, there was still plenty to work on, and this will count for nothing if we don't back it up in the coming weeks.
