If the losing run continues when do you think Noble would get the boot (if at all). First of all, I don't think Wigan will lose the next 3 but they are tough games, and its certainly a possibility. What do you think? |

I would say the Bradford game. The game at Quins on Saturday was always going to be a tough game and it would not be a disgrace to lose down there as I am sure some other big names may lose there as well. Whilst Bradford at home would not be easy either losing that as well as the Quins game (if we did) would represent 5 defeats on the trot, of which 3 of them are at home. At that point I just can't see anything other than Noble getting sacked. |

IMO he should of gone after the Cas game, if we lose at Quins he should go, although can't see him going TBH. |

IMO he should go ASAP, no option there though. |

I'm sorry, but having been one of Nobby's biggest fans when he joined us (hence the shirts sporting "Nobby Nuts" for 2 years), I have lost all confidence in his coaching ability. We have a collection of individuals who, on paper, should be looking at a top 3 spot. However, he has completely failed to make them work as a team (which is his single biggest job function IMO) Added to that, we are playing the worst brand of rugby that I have ever seen from a Wigan side. At least when we were losing every week under Millward, we were playing some entertaining rugby, and this was reflected by us fans having a laugh and a party on the terraces of every club at which we got spanked. Leeds away (70-0) was both the most depressing at a result level, but also the most fun atmosphere I've ever witnessed as a fan. We wound up having a laugh, never stopped singing, whatever. Basically, with Nobby in charge, there is absolutely NOTHING to get excited about. We knew from his Bradford days that he played a fairly dour, although effective, game-plan. He stuck would-be props on the wing and let them run riot. At Wigan, he is trying to play the same game with players of half the size, which leads to the wingers playing in the prop position half the time, just to get a sniff of the ball. To be frank, if we lose to London this week and play as poorly as we have been for the last 3 matches, and then get fed the same feeble excuses and lines about "improvements" and how we were "out-enthused", he needs to go. Don't ask me "who would you put in charge then?" because TBH, I have no idea. I can't lift my head for long enough to think straight about Wigan right now - I just find the whole subject of my favourite team too ****ing depressing to think about. Attending the matches has become a chore if I'm honest, and if my 5-year-old daughter wasn't as keen as she is, I could even see myself drifting away to do other things with my Friday night or Saturday/Sunday afternoon. That though frightens me a bit, because I have NEVER felt that way, even with Millward, Hughes or Goodway in charge. Sad to say, it wouldn't bother me if Nobby went today and we had a caretaker coach for the entire season, until somebody became available. Because TBF, we couldn't do any worse, and we might actually get entertained occasionally. |

For me if we lose against Quins, i will really start to press the panic button with Bradford and Leeds next. |

A bad loss and performance against quins, could spell the end for Noble. |

I agree. If he's lucky, he'll make it to Bradford but in all honesty I can't see him being in charge of Wigan after the Leeds game. |

A loss against Quins and he has to go, a loss and poor performance he should have the balls to resign. A win at Quins gives him a lifeline, but a heavy loss/poor performance against either Bradford of Leeds should do it. I would be shocked to see him in charge much after the Leeds match at the longest. |
