| Quote DaveO="DaveO"I am not getting carried away but I completely disagree with the above. That suggests MM and Wane have not had any influence other than not being Noble and Veivers and that is clearly not the case.
The way the team is playing the game is markedly different and it's not simply down to trying to impress the coach. The tactics are clearly different. The defence is organised differently and our attack is doing stuff like running from deep with a staggered line. Things we never saw under Noble and it's like a different team.
I am certainly not getting carried away and Bradford could be a banana skin but I think the way the team is playing is down to the coaching and pre-season preparation done by the new coaching team. Not simply the new coach syndrome.
Dave'"
I agree with this.
Things are clearly very different this year in every sense, and different in this case is a very positive thing.
Clearly a change was needed and MM has taken us on and done what was needed along with Wane & Bitcon.
The club is on the up, and that needs to be the focus now. |

| Quote pieeater123="pieeater123"Don't get me wrong, 4 games in and I couldn't be happier.
BUT
1. I can't help but think that we are currently experiencing 'new coach syndrome'. Players looking to prove themselves to the new coach etc. This will wear off over time, so after 10 games we will perhaps see how we are going to run
2. Look at the teams we have played! 3 very easy home games against 3 teams which never properly turned up. I thought KR would come and really test us, but they never even got started. Yes, we beat Warrington but not even we can deny that for parts of that game we were second best, and towards the end of the first half there were some classic Noble tactics creeping in: lying on, daft pens etc. but hey I was just as happy and proud with the efforts of the boys!!
3. The defence is brilliant, the sort of thing a Wigan side has been lacking for years. For once I feel like we can actually defend our line. But no matter how much fitness we have done, defence of that intensity will take its toll. Easter could be bad for us. Leeds and Saints will take a lot out of us and there are easier games to have after that than Wakey. Winning 2/3 there will be a good effort.
Lets not forget that most people on here would have been happy with a 3rd / 4th placed finish at the ned of the year. If we have a slump, lets not turn the board into a depressed one!
Although, we are top of the league!! Fantastic stuff!!!!'"
If you maintain your current consistency you'll finish top 2, no problem and from there [ishould[/i convert it into a grand final appearence. But playoffs are tougher now.
Watch out for leeds in the last 2 months of the season, the sails will be up. |

| Quote ABP'="ABP'"We've set a very good standard. Over the last couple of seasons our consistancy has been very patchy.
We'd play average one week, poor the next, then good, then average again, poor the next week, good the week after that etc etc
This year we have had four out of four very good performances. Should our form drop in one or two successive games then there will be pressure to get it right on track because we have already set our standards during these first four weeks. It's going to be hard and there will be spells when we're not performing with as much high intesity as we're doing now, but that's understandable. Let's hope Madge has control of things and know what to do should performances dip and let's hope the supporters can stay patient and ride through any poor patches that realistically are going happen.'"
the key is being able to win when you're not at your best, thus maintaining a high placed finish where you can turn it on for the last part of the season.
Generally though, if you aren't at your best early doors you get beaten, due to ''lesser teams'' having a longer off season and fewer internationals. That's why you often see upsets early on. |

Some fans are at risk of looking incredibly stupid the way they are carrying on. We have won 4 games and we are playing really well as a team which is great but some of the comments on here suggesting we are unbeatble and we're going to put everyone to the sword are incredibly naive imo. The only decent team we have played this season has been Warrington and lets be fair the result could have gone either way, we weren't exactly dominant. We will improve in some areas but we will also lose some games, it happens as teams always raise their game against Wigan. Lets just take one game at a time and not give opposition fans ammunition to throw at us when we lose, whenever that may be.

They have to be fair. I don't mind it though, it's been a long time since we've had anything to shout about so let's enjoy it while it lasts. |

Please quote anyone with such "arrogant" comments.
Majority on here agree that Top 3/4 is very achievable, not seen anything of such to suggest we're going to go "Unbeaten".  |

I think you, like Warrington fans are confusing our excitement and confidence, with arrogance  |
