| Quote Gazwire="Gazwire"Even though it's one result, it's interesting that no one from the Powell out camp (I haven't seen anyone yet) has said that perhaps they're wrong and perhaps it may be better sticking with him.
It seems to me, that rather than admit to possibly changing their mind - ie. he should perhaps stay - some people would rather have a pop at the people who backed him in order to save face.
I'm certainly not saying I'm right either, it's one game, it could still end in disaster, who knows.'"
There's no right or wrong on either side of the debate, just opinions at a given time. Like him or not, believe in him, or not, as someone has already posted we'd all like DP to succeed. For me, he has made some decisions that I've not agreed with, and some of the players brought in haven't worked, leading to the prospect of relegation. I'm all for giving DP a fair amount of time, but not at the expense of the massive damage that relegation would do to the club. Sundays result and performance is a good step in the right direction, against an understrength and poor opposition, and gives us a little breathing space. We must build on that and be up for what lies ahead.

| Ps isn’t the point about supporters that they hold opinions that have no consequences and can change them like I change my underwear (so at least once a month). I think it is healthy to have differing opinions reflected on here, it hopefully makes people think about their stand point even if they don’t change it. I was very late to the Cullen and Smith out parties but an early adopter of the Price out pitchforking so my personal record is questionable.

There's certainly no right and wrong as it's a matter of opinion in a debate. Essentially, if you have an opinion on something speculative, then there really is no right or wrong.
But, given the performance on Sunday, do you think some people were right or wrong to call for his head after just half a season? That's the right or wrong bit, not whether someone's opinion is right or wrong.

| It's all a game and nobody takes anything that seriously. It's a provincial town sports forum after all. It's the journey not the destination. Would be boring if we won everything.
Luckily we can express opinions freely on here and no-one gets too upset if those opinions differ from their own (apart from Smiffy.  )

| It has been boring the last few years so if we won everything I'm happy to accept boredom as the tradeoff. I'd like to enact payback on Wiganers for what I suffered through in my youth, by making them watch a procession of Wire teams winning the title every year to the soundtrack of "Simply the Best".

| l Everyone has their own oppinions but i think Powell is the man to turn us around and said from the beginning he gets a free pass this year from me. Now i didn't expect this dramatic drop in form but like many have said on here, change takes time. I hate the whole "if it immediately isn't successful get rid" Mentality. If at this stage next year we are in the same boat then my mind will change about Powell but he has my full backing still and trust in what his plan is.

Are you too young to remember the "Here we go, here we go, here we go" mantra they used to mindlessly chant with the women bedecked in satin Norweb shell suits ?
This season is a refreshing change to the last 3. I mean it's the same in some ways that we won't win SL but now there is a feeling that things are changing.

If there's pineapple rings with this gammon, rather than fried eggs, then I'm absolutely outraged!

| Quote morrisseyisawire="morrisseyisawire"There's a few on here coming across as rather sanctimonious as they bask in the glory of one good performance in 4 months.
Perhaps it would be prudent to wait for the upturn to produce a consistent run of performances [iand wins[/i before they hog the morale high ground.
We were spiralling out of control - the look of relief on Powell's face was as clear as that on any supporter.'"
not really.
it has always been about giving a man a chance to overhaul and rebuild a club, without shouting on a message board for his head.

| tbh, i think my main gripe with all this.... is that some of the people in this thread, posting some constant negative stuff, are probably older heads, that have been around the block... and should probably know better.
it starts with a few people.... then it gathers pace.... it ends up with a mini witch hunt, where people keep joining in after every defeat... said people then have an opinion, which can often be hard to shift.
ive stayed out of this for ages, as its been hard to read... but hats off to Gazwire for trying his best to inject some positivity and realism into the posts on here... well done sir
