How long in 2023 does Powell have... : Thu Aug 25, 2022 9:06 pm  

...to turn this terrible excuse of a team around?

IMO he has 5 games to show significant, sustained improvement...otherwise he should be sacked,

Re: How long in 2023 does Powell have... : Thu Aug 25, 2022 9:07 pm  

6 games. We will know by then, if we don't already know deep down already.

Should've gone v HKR.

He's killing us.

I'm not expecting ANYTHING different, next year. It's going to be Everton Mk II

I groaned when he kicked that ball for his try, I dont care that he scored, he just will not pass to his winger.

That ball inside in the first half when minikin had a walk in, was ridiculous

If it goes badly, it can surely only be 6 games max before he gets the hook. I'm really hoping he can turn this sinking ship around, however there is nothing I have seen which installs any confidence. Listen, Powell is a good coach, he has proven this in the past, it just hasn't worked! The lack of any mental fortitude throughout the season has been jaw-droppingly bad, whatever he is telling them week in, week out just ain't sticking.

But will we?
I'm sorry, OE, but a pack on paper, is no guarantee for success. We'll be in the same predicament, after Easter. I can see it.

We've won ONE GAME since Magic weekend. ONE *******GAME, and that was against the bottom club. His signings/retention since April 21 are collective failures. I have NO confidence in this team OR this coach.

I see nothing to change my mind.
2023 is going to be hard. VERY HARD.

It's still painful but there are signs of encouragement.

I agree 6 games next season, no signs of a team which can play and he should go, if we do enough in those 6 games to suggest we could turn out alright then review again at Easter. More than 1 collapse like we have seen in the last few months and he should go.

I've said it before he has to be given a chance next season but the goodwill has ran out, we have been too bad this season to patiently wait for signs that we can compete.

Pardon my intrusion but, I think Warrington are too big of a club to be going through all of this, so I think you will have a new coach at the start of next season.

He will probably see out the remainder of his current contract regardless because we are pathetic
