What will happen next at wigan?

Yes, I remember 1985/86 well. We lost our first 3 games that season too. Only thing is, Ellery Hanley made his Wigan debut in the 4th game!

Now he was a decent signing for us...

'kinell from that list Noble is our second longest serving coach, behind Monie. Hardly covered himself in glory in what is nearly three years - apart fom keeping us up in year one , we seem to be going backwards.

Coaches who had won more, lasted shorter periods - in those days, we were so unpredictably creative on the pitch - these days we lack flair and creativity and seem to operate from a fixed, very predictable gameplan........

Plan A
Big lad up the middle, Big lad up the middle, Big lad up the middle, Big lad up the middle, Big lad up the middle, kick.

Plan B
Big lad up the middle, Big lad up the middle, Big lad up the middle, Big lad up the middle, Big lad up the middle, kick.

post match, Plan C
Fetch glue, fix humpty dumpty, coach players in plan A
