you could get neil kelly

Why don't you just sack Matt the Prat and put Martin Hall back in charge. He's an excellent coach, and I was amazed when you moved him upstairs and replaced him with Calland in the first place. I'd virtually guarantee some vastly improved performances if you put him back in charge.

Yes the only 17 fit, yes we may have struggled to get a win. But we should not have let that many points in!

I have no idea why that happened in the first place. Maybe that's what Martin wanted?

Maybe so. Another post has suggested Neil Kelly. Why not? A guy who has a great track record in the lower leagues. Ok, he didn't have a great time at Leigh but his time there was bizarre to say the least. I'd wager that with the squad of players you have at your disposal you'd be pretty untouchable with a decent coach in charge. Calland's lack of coaching ability was terribly exposed as far back as the middle of last season, why you stuck with him God knows. There are plenty of coaches out there who'd do a far superior job. A lot of people will probably scoff at this suggestion, but you'd do better bringing Peter Roe back to the club!

The dummy half routine was indeed good for half a season and nobody could live with us. We have had some great games since but overall, it is alarmingly clear that we are dangerously one dimensional. As you say tho, with the right coach.....

Well that for me comes down to the coach. I also feel some players are a bit soft these days. The old days I remember Wigan playing something like 6 games in 21 days once and Fax also had a simiular run and very few players missed the games.

Anthony Seibold would be a good choice. Look at what he has got going down in South Wales. Team set up last minute-all bar one is Welsh and yet they sit top of Championship 1. I know him very well and massive student of the game, but will take no but one that players want and respect. Believe Loz Wildbore begged him to sign him as wanted to play under Seibs rather than any other club of which he had offers.

Still unsure as to weather we need a new coach or not, wasnt at todays game so can't pass comment on it.

However, If the Board decide its time for Matt to go, I still wouldn't mind seeing Dave Woods (ex cas and gateshead) come in... Still in the UK I think as well

Aye he was on Radio Leeds doing a charity event. He's still bobbing around the place. And you're right, did wonders with Cas and Thunder.

Only concern with him is that he too is a bit of a "hot head" and has sufferred from allegations of ill discipline at the few UK clubs he has coached. Not for me.

Not sure who the answer would be but think we need a complete break and bring someone in with no previous club links.

Can anybody justify why he should stay?

The majority of fax fans know the seasons over

Martin Crompton from Blackpool,done well there with no money

He's not a bad coach at all. He's just doesn't match to the 'top' coaches like (dare I say it)... Cullen, Karl and Millward.
