Noble done a top job, hope he does it more often when he's out the job.

I like Nobby, the position we were in before he took over, to were we are now shows an improvement.



This season isn't going too well. Were in the semi's and have 2 months of league games to get our league position sorted and we can concentrate solely on the league. Lets see how we do.

Bloody hell!



I'd better change my username to Us/Leeds Andy sharpish before the "thought" police get me.



When I use the word thought I actually mean thick as pig shoite, no brain numbnuts.

my favourite bit from noble was in the pre match when he said wigan had done good under him in the last 3 years

think he said 'mproved'. where were we in the league when he took over?

we had far more duck eggs when he took over from millward than we do now.

Don't talk sense man!



He may not have had the greatest start to this year but the squad he has helped build is certainly Far Better than what he inheritted.



And despite what certain people say the club will be far better when he does leave (whenever that is) than when he came!

Geez,,,,You really hate him don*t you.

the thought police

The thing with Noble is that he has stablised us from relegation fodder to a team thats in and around the playoff spot's.



However since then he hasn't moved us onto that next level and thats the problem!



He is a decent guy, and he is trying his best however, it isn't as yet working for him.



So what do Wigan do? Sack him? that would cause major chaos, Keep him? that could also mean more inconsistency.



Lets not forget the players need to take a portion of the blame and not just the coach even though its the coach who is in the firing line 24/7.



I thnink we are just going to have too see how things go from this point on.

This is a fair and honest post, but I don't think we can afford to see how things go for too long.



To be honest, we're not looking like a play-off team this season. If there was still relegation and if Celtic weren't involved in SL, we'd be facing the drop again this year. Two big ifs there, I know, but it illustrates the point of how poor we've been in the league.



There has been improvement under Noble - but it's been painfully slow and painfully slight in my opinion. On top of that, there are the many flaws in Wigan's basic game that we still see repeatedly each week, not to mention the lack of motivation for most fixtures. It doesn't fill you confidence in the coaching.



There's also the time-factor. If IL is genuinely looking for a new coach for next year, he ought to have started the ball rolling by now. He may have done, he may not - we don't know. But he can't hang on until the end of the year and see where we finish, because all the other deals will by then be done and we'll be reduced to picking up scraps.



I suppose that if by some miracle we went on to win the CC and the GF, we'd have no option but to re-think and offer Nobby a new contract, but at present we don't look like winning either.
