Kyle, I appreciate the performance at Salford was a good one but if anything the conditions made defending and not conceding penalties easier, because of the conditions there was less ball movement meaning defending is easier and also meaning less breaks and so no one team being on the back foot which is when the penalties are often conceded. We have had very good performances and many more of them in previous seasons we started the 2011 season with a similar performance in similar conditions at home to Huddersfield.

Jose Mourinho @ Chelsea? Won the title in his first two seasons!

We actually started the 2011 season at Cardiff against Wakefield

Let's hope Millward is given several hundred £million to do the same then.

Don't be silly. You said that no one in sport had had instant success....I was merely proving you wrong.

I have to believe that in the long term Basil is a good appointment, where he has had TIME he has performed.

I think clubs are far too quick to pull the trigger, to the detriment of longer term planning. I am hesitent to mention Scumchester United, but they were widely accepted to be on the brink of sacking their bloke, but they kept their powder dry and let him do what they appointed him to do, build a playing staff for tomorrow and onwards, not just improve the on field today.

You either back a manager to execute a plan or you don't but you can't let your enthusiasm wane in the infancy.

As I said, I have to believe that; the alternative is that everyone involved with Ian's appointment and now his ongoing employment is a moron and statistically that is unlikely.

That's the alternative and not they made an honest mistake and now they can't afford to pay him off?

I have been thinking along those lines and am loathe to revise my original opinion that IM was a good fit to Cas Tigers but his record suggests the chemistry between him and his club tends to be either glorious or disastrous and you might reasonably conclude from his tenure thus far that the latter is more likely to apply with us. It's a 'dont know' from me at the moment but edging towards 'go'.

I think you would be better giving him another year; yes it's been a woeful season but any coach needs time and, dispite some failures, Millward does have a good track record. In any case, who would you replace him with? IMHO Kear looks like a good bet - and I am sure he would be good for you - but even he would need time to make his mark.

Spot on, no one has made a convincing argument on here that we will be any better next season, i dont really buy the its the out of contract players not trying argument at all and think its naive at best, danny is trying, youngquest is trying, jones is trying, hudson has tried when he has played, davies has tried, goldy tried, jackson has tried, mitchell and griffin have to try there hardest or there sl careers are over, grehan hardly played, harris and brierly haven't been given a game, the only player you can honestly say that hasnt tried who is ooc is snitch If we give milward another year we will be on sub 5k crowds so whoever comes next will have a much harder job just to avoid the wooden spoon with the smallest budget in the league, i actually think with the way crowds are falling we could be in danger of going bust, we need to act before its too late.

How is 11 wins in his last 51 professional games a good track record?

Ok then, i rephrase no one has instant success who doesn't have an unlimited amount of cash.

Michael Maguire - wasn't his only signing his first season at Wigan Paul Deacon?

Back to the drawing board KYLE old lad
