Ian Holloway said on soccer am this morning 'Fans want to be entertained and want to win'.

We are getting neither, we showed glimpses yesterday ,like when someone said, when our game plan went out of the window.

The thing is, if we got rid of Noble today and another coach came in that new coach would just say to the players 'Just go out there and enjoy yourself, play your natural game', and we would leather whoever we came up against, he needs to give the players more creative freedom because this 5 drives and a kick bores me to tears, I know sometimes throughout the game you have to to gain field position and for time to set up a move or something but not for the whole match and then when we start getting beat turn on the style and try and scrape it, against teams like Cas we should be beating them by at least 14, at least!!

And anyone who say 'Well the standard of superleague has gone up, you can't expect to beat everyone every week, anyone can beat anyone on their day' etc doesn't have the winning mentality, that's what we need at Wigan, not cockyness, a winning mentality, a player needs to think 'Who are these men Cas? Thinking they can come to our ground and show us up infront of our fans, lets show them what we can do!

Most of their team are average aussies and NL players FFS! :evil:






Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.

:lol:

Thanks for the 2 points.

Against teams like Wigan we look forward to beating them....being as they are full of average Aussies and NL standard players.






Disco - Expansion of the game is a good thing, undoubtedly, but in the main what people simply want to assert is that you don't kill the roots to spread the tree.

The Curtism - The battles are fought on the field and the friends are made in the bar. There's no hatred among real men.

Get over yourselves. If we've got a team full of average aussies, then yours must be even worse. But I see it's still the same old "big club, little club" mentality that even though you lost you still have better players all over the field.

You don't have a divine right to beat everyone.

I support Wigan, I expect them to win every game they play. Especially against poor teams like Wakey and Cas. With more fans than any other team I expect us to be more successful off the field also, making lots of money and using it to develop a strong team not challenging for honours, winning them!!!!!! Thats what mentality we need, we dont want to challenge for honours thats like saying all we want to do is get to the grand final or semis, not for me I want to win everything!
