I'm sorry but I can't see how the coach is coming under fire AGAIN? We were rubbish under viewers, rubbish under hunte and not much has changed under noble! Every so often under all them coaches we would come up with a win but the majority of the time we would take a beating! You muppets who constantly call for coaches heads need to get a grip! The players we have a rubbish and are mostly championship standard at best! We could have the best coach in the world with these set of players and results wouldn't be much different!

I don't think anyone would argue regarding certain players abilities, however, by using your own words not much has changed from the previous two coaches. Therefore, given his reputation and no doubt wage, don't you think it would be reasonable to expect an improvement in the basics, structure, line speed kick chase etc? we all know we are pish in the middle so why base your game plan around a poor pack? at least under previous incumbents we were attempting to play an expansive game. I am not calling for his head but i am disappointed thus far.

Can I just point out we've had three coaches this year and their records are as followed:

PV:
P: 5
W:1
D: 0
L: 4
F: 62 (Ave = 12)
A: 196 (Ave = 39)

AH:
P: 7
W:1
D: 1
L: 5
F: 124 (Ave = 18)
A: 221 (Ave = 32)

BN:
AH:
P: 6
W:2
D: 0
L: 4
F: 95 (Ave = 16)
A: 240 (Ave = 40)

By my reckoning that doesn't make Brian Noble much better than Alan Hunte with the same shower!

I did say on record that Brian Noble was not the answer. It seems the Dr and many RL fans are blinded by the media and the soundbytes. Noble is past his sell by date, you were promised improvements and yet as the record shows despite talking a great game he has not improved upon Alan Hunte.

Yesterdays coach far better suited to a media role!

Under Vievers we were hammered,under Hunte we were hammered,under Noble we've been hammered.
Not sure which coach will get the best out of this group but criticism of the current coach is bloody ludicrous and laughable.
C'mon guys,surely you're better than this!

Bonita - normally you talk a lot of sense but your adulation of Nobby is misguided - at this time. Come on - when Hunte & Long had the reins we saw players bending their backs, pivoting - even having a couple of moves. Under Brian we have retreated in our offensive displays - markedly so. I am not saying sack the coach - I just want to see him play to our 'strengths' and those are NOT in the pack so a different game plan is required.

In Noble's last job he took Crusaders to a playoff spot in his last season, so I fail to see on which grounds you can say he is past his sell by date with any confidence.

I feel sorry for any young British player at Salford under Noble

Watched the Ex Sale player in the 20s, very able player and an accurate goal kicker, I can't see no harm in playing him he is strong in defence and quick in attack. At this point now what harm can it do.

Has Foran got the biggest beer belly since Dean Widders ?

Re: I feel sorry for Brian Noble : Tue Jun 11, 2013 8:05 am  

I think it its important that we don't make any knee-jerk reactions in relation to Noble and yesterday's abysmal performance by the team. It is clear that we are in a transition phase and Koukash is doing the right things behind the scenes. I guess the main frustration is that the background work isn't having any effect (yet) on the pitch.

It's only a matter of time before things pick up. Lets keep the faith and get behind the team. With any luck we'll be laughing about yesterday's game in a couple of years when we're making small but steady steps in the right direction.
