This is a silly thread. How can you have doubt when we're sitting pretty at the top of the league for most of the year, unbeaten for a long stretch, almost beating a SL away and just plain unlucky not to be in the NRC final (but hammering everyone else in the run-up).

Totally Agree, MC is not upto it, Lets get rid and bring back Tony Anderson


Couple of Bad Results and people start looking for someone to Blame. We've had threads on here slating some players, and now questiong Matt Calland's ability. Despite having one of our best seasons (up to yet) in years.

Its times like these, with a bit of a dip in form we should be urging the team on to regain the previous form, not starting to nit pick about who's not good enough despite them having been ok for the first half of the season.

I completely agree. I am dumfounded by the thread.

Of course he is up to it, we have already had our best season, BY A COUNTRY MILE.

u got give the man a chance, he and MH have turned the club around on the field from mid-table to the league leaders. The current problems i believe are more mental than anything else. the fans and media now expect us to beat everyone and look good doing it, this a totally different pressure than early in the year when expectations were considerably lower.

we gotta trust that we have a good coach and good team and let them do the talking on the field and everything will sort itself out.

Definately up to it...he has built this team with MH and things take time. He`s only been a coach 2 minutes and he is learning all the time.

I wouldnt say it's all fans, Im certainly a realist, as im sure are a lot of fans who have followed us for many years.

All we've wanted over the last 10yrs is a team that will play with pride & show us what they can do. This team does that. Sure we will lose, but we'll win more games though.

Before MH & MC came aboard we didn't even make the playoffs in 2006.

Since then we've gone 56-1-23 (W-D-L) in competitive games.

Under MH we went 22-0-9, finished 3rd in league in 2007.
Under MC we're 34-1-14, 2008 - 18-1-10 3rd in league and so far 16-0-4 this year and currently top. Yes there is a way to go but MC is def up to the job.

Get behind the team and stop bloody moaning!!! !

Yep agent Calland doing Widnes proud, good on ya lad. Your home town colours always show.

Cant believe people are questioning if Matt is good enough when we are sitting clear at the top of the league with only 2 defeats so far. Have we beaten our closet rivals this year? Yes - if we hadnt then thats when we may have concern.

i Cant believe people are saying this rubbish, asking if he is up too it, having a dig at players on another thread, how can you have a go, top of the league, got to semi final of northern rail, nearly won at cas, if you have owt to say, leave it till end of season, and see what we have done, dont start getting on there back at this the most important time of the season,, still cant belive some people,, leave them alone

Please please tell me these posts are carcastic. I am sickened by this thread. Third loss this season and all of a sudden the @rseholes come out of the woodwork.

That doesn't give just cause for you to start mixing metaphors all over the place.

think most of us are glad he has extended his contract at fax.
of course he is up to the job.

Matt will well be chuffed if he comes on here and sees this thread title.

FFS!
