The Communist Cap - dragging down success and aspiration to the levels of those who cba.: |
|
|
Firstly I like to believe that I am impartial in every sense. I cannot think of any way that I am biased, or have any prejudice.
I am therefore baffled by the "anti Nobby " brigade on here.
If I look at his record
Not only did he save Wigan RL from relegation, he also steered us to 3rd, twice in a row- a position arguably far in excess of what our squad would normally have merited.
What on earth does this guy have to do to convince some people?

No matter what you say, I say or anyone else who is behind Noble, you will never, ever change the anti-Noble brigade's minds.
(Unless Noble leads Wigan to an unlikely SL/CC success in 2009)

Fair enough. Can't understand it then. We ain't even kicked off yet. Maybe they'd like Millward, Maurice and Whelan back in this club? |

Therefore, isn't it fair to lay of Noble? (Note: this isn't directed directly at you!)
I honestly don't know what some posters expect, he came in saved us from relegation, took us to a whisker of the GF for the past two seasons and yet it is not enough? Considering the position we were in in 2006, its a bloody damn good showing from Noble.

It has been very bemusing to see.
We have not thrown a ball in anger yet and there is already a lynch mob forming.
Look at his record as a coach, look at the progress made while at Wigan and I think he deserves a bit more support from us imo.

Trent and the players got us to a final eliminator. On both occasions we were a million miles from making the GF. Our players achieve what they do inspite of noble not because of him. |

I will leave you to the mercy of Dave O
We went backwards in 2008 compared to 2007 and Dave will show you that. |

I knew it wouldn't be long til you showed up  
But seriously, yes you could say Trent and the players did, but they didn't coach themselves to it. At times last season we were awful, but every team has a bad stint. It's how the club (that includes coaches and players) respond to them, IMO taking us to 3rd overall, was a good response.
I do expect us to be better this year. Some people may disagree because of the squad we have and although I don't believe we'll win it (Leeds have it in the bag IMO), I think we can push it close and maybe make the GF. |

Elucidate.
It's easy to "rolleyes". It's far more difficult to actually contribute a thread that is worthy of consideration.
I look at the facts.
The fact is that Nobby saved us from relegation.
The fact is that Nobby coached us to 3rd twice on the trot.
The fact is that he did this with a squad that wasn't his e.g. Calderwood and Higham.
Now I disagree with many of his decisions, but I cannot argue with the results, and am genuinely bemused by people who do.
