Millward lost the first 2 games of 2006, but managed to win the third - is this current team, in your opinion, worse than that team or not?

The team isn't but the results are.

That should tell people something obvious.

The team aren't worse.... Nobles tactics are.

In the second half when we dumped Nobles tactics we started to look promising and scored a couple of tries. Until he goes i feel that we will never take advantage of any attacking options in our squad.

In answer to the thread question: not even close, which makes it all the more laughable when people say this is the worst team they have ever seen. Some people really do have short memories.

Yet in the 2006 season our crowds actually went up.
Two thousand off the gate last night was just the start of it. The fans are getting weary, IL must know this.

It's not the results thats keeping (most) fans away, it's the performances!

I think the crowds went up not because of performances but because the Wigan public saw we were in dire straits and in serious danger of being relegated. I know of many who started going again simply because they thought they could help in their own small way by being there.

Exactly.

We can see that playing more expansive works for us, so why when we get near Cas or at Hull last week when we went ahead does it seem the message is sent out, 5 drives and a kick?

The squad isn't worse, but the tactics, and the lack of rotation is. Noble just doesn't seem to have the balls to drop underperforming players, and play the youth. Good Wigan teams have always had a lot of Wigan players in. They have more pride and passion to play for the club, as opposed to imports who have no real desire to play, and know they will still be picking up their pay check.

aye ..the more we lost, the bigger the crowds.
i personally went to more games that year then in quite a few seasons previously....to get behind em.

this shower are a different kettle of fish.
on paper they are stronger than 2006, but on the field they play with the same lack of passion.

the crowds are already dipping, and it'll continue until we play attractive rugby again, and play with passion, and bring with it a few wins.

the paying public have had too many empty promises since nobby arrived, and lenighans not the saviour we all thought he was.

the fans are showing displeasure and summat needs sorting quickly.

its not inconcievable that we will be played 6 lost 6 ........what then??

It was exciting being in the relegation fight. This year no relegation, no excitement being "down there" hence less speccies.
