How gloomy, relying on 1 team to be worse than ourselves to stay in SL.'"
A more positive view would be, we are better than one team to stay up  |

Again, I'm not sticking with him. I am simply pointing out that he has been good for us in the past, he has suffered a lot of damage to his team plans outside his control and the team seem bonded to try and improve, which they are doing, albeit slowly.
Just putting a less capable coach in place will make things worse.
Agar and Webster being a great example.

Yes, taking the positive view, rather than the negative one. |

Agar got us to the play offs in his first season and Webster won 5 and drew 1 of his first 7 games to steer us away from a relegation battle. New coach syndrome more often than not has an effect and i’d take that bounce now. A fresh perspective counts for a lot.

Indeed, but I am really struggling to be positive at this time. |

I think you misunderstood.
I was saying Agar was a good coach hounded out and replaced with Webster. It got a boost but he hardly won any more after that burst. So we were back where we started when we replaced him.

Right I get you. But the point remains that the boost saved us from a highly likely relegation battle. I said on here prior to the Leeds game we need to be winning 3 of the next 4 if we want to breathe relatively easy this year, two ad an absolute bare minimum as ling as one is Leigh. If these next 3 games don’t go well then i don’t see us having any option but to make a change, even if that change is one of Poching or Last taking it until the end of the season.
Either way though in my opinion it is time for a change next season. We need new ideas and a fresh outlook. The succession planning should start now whether Chester gets to play out the season or not. 6 seasons is a long time for a coach. A change will do everyone good.

What the stats point out to me is that we never build off good seasons and just end up back down the bottom tussling it out for survival for one reason or another. There has never been any consistency with our club has there. It’s very frustrating for all our fans id imagine. If we are looking more likely that we will be battling it out with who ever for relegation then the club will simply have to be seen to do something to avoid that. |

I agree.
I think that comes down to investment.
Peaks of success are difficult to turn into sustained success.
I think it was Webster or maybe Agar that said with the team we are able to field, we have to be at our best to win. Other teams can play at 60% and still do it. We can't.
So sustaining that is really difficult. Unless you can improve the overall quality of the team. (and keep them on the pitch) |
