Looks like nobby got it spot on today




Very well played

If winning today was all that mattered, and it was, anything the Nobby doubters would like to say??

i hold my hands up, i was wrong.


First time i've felt noble could actually be able to take us forward. But then again we could just lose again next week.

We would have got 60 if Ainscugh had played -Nobby out

Well played pie's fantastic performance!!

cheers . about time we've been able to get happly drunk on a bank holiday played the way we all no where capable of. what we need now is to back that performance up week after week. so for now just going to enjoy the win over the PLASTIC SCUM SCOUSERS. BOOTLE BORN BOOTLE BRED BLEED CHERRYNWHITE

Yes keep it up...playing like tonight that is

Except in your next league game

If the issue had been purely does Nobby play Pat Richards or Shaun Ainscough, then I think Nobby would have been vindicated - to some tune. But I don't think there was ever any danger that Richards would have been dropped for Ainsough. Most likely he'd have been moved to full back, where the return to form of Phelps is what seems to be causing the selection difficulty.

That said, it's good that Nobby is now getting praise for a difficult and unpopular decision which seems to have paid off. He gets enough stick when these things go wrong.

I still don't think he's the man to take us forward. Even if we've genuinely turned a corner and go on a winning streak that takes us to within touching distance of trophy glory, we could start next season just as badly as all the others and by mid-term be half way down the table. That seems to have been the pattern under Nobby.

But there's no denying, flattening Saints has done a lot for his credibility round town.

The sound from Nobbys critics has been deafening by it's silence.




One dimensional
Lost the dressing room
No idea of tactics
I could go on..............

I would cut and paste some of the cr*p that has been posted on here, but I need to go back to work a week on Thursday............


Nobby stepped up to the mark (and apparently wants to be paid in cabbage



).

He dropped the top tryscorer knowing full well that he would leaving himself in the firing line if it backfired. He could have taken the easy option, the low risk option, the option that wouldn't have put [ihis[/i head on the block.

Instead he took the right option for the team. The rest is history.

Credit to the gaffer he was the Master on saturday doing what he did - His players do the business the credit is all his... as it is when its the other way round.

Dunno bout anyone else but i like the manager in a suit, represents the club better... anyway, great moment when he hugged Sean Ainscough at the final whistle. Yet another reason to be welling up on saturday

Mr Noble 10/10
