Post subject:  End of the line....

After the game on Saturday i was leaving the ground back to my hotel and i waas thinking about the game, usually i would be pee'd off or angry towards Wigans performance. But i wasnt, i simply wasnt bothered that we had lost to the worst team to grace Superleague since Leigh the other year.

Maybe its the way the players just dont looked bothered either, maybe its starting to rub off on the fans who pay there hard earned each week and turn up with the hope that they may turn it around.

But im typing this post now, and i seriously would not be overally concerned if i didnt get to watch Wigan again this season. Simply bored of watching them with the lack lustre attitude.

Is anyone else feeling this way....?

Yes. Couldn't care less about them now. Sick of this win 2, lose 3 season. 7 wins is Salfordesque. Noble has to be told TODAY that his contract will not be renewed. IL has to find a new coach NOW for next season and get in players that he wants.

Yes.

This point was raised earlier in the season. I'm getting to a point were I'm going to the game out of habit rather than enjoyment. It's getting me out of the house for a few hours. I did get my hopes up after a good win against Saints and a good 20mins against Salford but a result like the one on Saturday just leaves me feeling empty* again.

I debated last year about getting a season ticket again for this year and after going to the fans forum my interest was reignited, but I'll seriously consider getting a nice pair of shoes for my birthday rather than a season ticket for next year if things don't change. I don't think I'll be on my own either.

*Maybe an over exaggeration. I have got far more important things in my life than a rugby game.

Sitting in work this morning, I had much the same thought.

While I have tickets for the KR game, not sure if can be bothered going, why should I waste my time and money watching players who do not care about the club I love.

I never felt like this before, even in 2006 or going back to the 79/80 season.

Something has to change, and soon.

Should Noble not be told that his contract ends NOW providing we can get someone, or a team of coaches, to take over for the remainder of the season?

Noble will know full well his contract isn't getting renewed.

And so will the players.

So basically Noble has no chance of commanding respect or being able to motivate the players.

The next two home games are Quins and Cats - I can see four-figure gates for both games.

Known my friend for 20 years

Yesterday was the first time i have ever heard him say hes not going to the next game because he cant be ar$ed.

That worried me more than any defeat because i know theres not just him out there who feels the same

IL needs to act very fast

A valid point, if Noble knows he is going, the players will know and this is imo what is clear in their performances.

IL either has to act now and get someone in NOW with the semi final over 6 weeks away, or wait until after that, but by then it will be to late.

That being said, our squad is overhyped massively by some on here and isn't good enough in key positions to win anything.

Lenagan should be very worried right now - I agree with the original sentiments and I know plenty of others who feel the same.

Absolutely he needs to act now.

I would agree but finding someone to step in is the problem. If it is achieveable, fine, but the very least we deserve is a communique from the club today informing us that the search for a new coach is underway or, better still, name his successor now. After all, that's the way the real professional clubs like Saints do it.
