Is this what we can expect this season

If the supporters don't think we can win then this will transmit to the players, thus speeding the decline as you call it.

Keep the faith Doug - This team will surprise us all!

OK for me the glory days were everything after and including the the JPT final in 83. I started a couple of years before that, I think the team went something like, Fairburn, Ramsdale, Stockley, Foy, Williams, Bolton, Stevens, Bowman, Kiss, Melling, Nanyn, Boyd, Pendlebury...

Stop, Doug, you're scaring me. I had a picture of that team on the mantelpiece to keep the kids away from the fire. IMO Wigan's worst team of all time. No wonder you can appreciate the good things at Wigan after that lot.
I think, however, we should get a bit further down the line before we start placing our team behind those others you mentioned. I remember the team of all stars losing to the likes of Sheffield Eagles in the league and a very ordinary Wakefield team (containing a very young H.Paul) coming to Wigan and winning. There is quite a long list of similar disappointments if you think hard enough.
Give it a bit longer.

Yep...I am surprised.
