I don't think you'll find anyone who is justifying our away form or the cup exit. Because there isn't any defence behind why we can't replicate what we do at home when on our travels. I think people are just trying to keep faith with a coach who already has every domestic trophy under his belt in his first three years in charge.
Our home form is outstanding, so we know what they can do when they do click. We have the youngest squad in the league who are still learning, have had probably the biggest player turnover in SL since his arrival and yet we're just two points off top despite the problems. I do believe we're capable of winning at Old Trafford once again. I think Wane has done a brilliant job IMO.

Some people have VERY short memories.

| Quote sergeant pepper="sergeant pepper"OK have it your way 2 wins this season. It's not like anyone can taken any comfort from that either.
Hardly a glowing endorsement of what you call a 'sterling job'.
I honestly wonder if Wane would get this unwavering support if he wasn't from Wigan? If Madhe would have had this kind of record would he be offered your blind loyalty?'"
I remember under Madge when we could beat every team away from home but couldn't beat the likes of Wire and Saints at home. If we get into the top 2 we won't have to win away from home to win Super League will we? I'd be more worried if we couldn't win our home games.

I know our away form has been woeful, but we're still 3rd in the table and just 2 points off the top. We've been in the last 2 GFs, you can't start sacking coaches because they're not achieving perfection in a very competitive league. The last 2 year's CC performances have been very disappointing, but there's no way SW's Wigan career is hanging as finely as you seem to be suggesting.

Old Trafford is away from home  . I'd be looking elsewhere if he doesn't win the grand final this year to be honest. We've gone backwards since Maguire left and getting knocked out of the cup by Castleford then Hull KR is beyond poor for a club of our means. I think people may have been calling for this sooner if it wasn't for our ridiculously easy cup run in 2013 (absolutely mental that we only had to beat Leigh, Hull KR, Widnes, London and Hull FC to win the challenge cup!)

Not really it just means he's obvious got higher standards than you.
ATEOTD if Wane doesn't win the GF this year he's been a failure. He's employed at Wigan to win trophies, if he doesn't pick up the GF this year that's 3/4 years in charge without either of the big two.
Thats not good enough for Wigan (although it's probably good enough for your version of Wigan as it means those little poor sides don't get too upset)

Exactly. We have the most fickle fans in any sport. Gets right on my wick.

I think our form in our last two games gives us great hope for the rest of the season - beat Saints and we may very well be top on Friday night. Would that be 'acceptable'?
We have no divine right to get to the Challenge Cup Final because of our history. To be honest I'd rather lose in the 6th round than in the Semi Final. It's not ideal but I think we are slight favourites for the GF because we won't get smashed up trying to win the CC. (Would I like to win the CC - of course I would - but I'd prefer a GF win)'"
Wow someone has a chip on their shoulder. So do you think our away form is acceptable? And no it's not about being a 'brat' as you put it (which there is no need for).
Get over it? I don't accept poor performances against anyone, that's why we've been so good over the years, we don't accept poor performances, clearly you think that's ok as you've 'gotten over it'

Good post, I think some poster have forgotten Wigan are in the league and cup to win it.

For me the jury is still out. See if we win anything this season.

You're forgetting that no team/manager is perfect. Even Sir Alex Ferguson lost cup games against lesser teams, as well as going through rough patches in the league.
Now don't get me wrong, I am not saying Wane is anywhere near the coaching prowess of Sir Alex, but Jesus, give the man a break. He was inches away from winning the GF last year if it wasn't for a certain incident. We have played no where near our full potential this year and sit 3rd in the league! I firmly believe that we will win the GF this year, just be patient. Sports teams lose games, get over it.
