| Why not get carried away? We're in a good run of form at the beginning of a season for the first time in nearly 10 years. We're fans, it's our job to get excited about our team doing well. Nobody here is demanding silverware, we're just enjoying winning comfortably and going into games swimming in confidence. I'd much rather be getting excited about us being 100%, best attack & best defense than be moaning because we where beaten at home by HKR & Catalans.

I am not getting carried away but I completely disagree with the above. That suggests MM and Wane have not had any influence other than not being Noble and Veivers and that is clearly not the case.
The way the team is playing the game is markedly different and it's not simply down to trying to impress the coach. The tactics are clearly different. The defence is organised differently and our attack is doing stuff like running from deep with a staggered line. Things we never saw under Noble and it's like a different team.
I am certainly not getting carried away and Bradford could be a banana skin but I think the way the team is playing is down to the coaching and pre-season preparation done by the new coaching team. Not simply the new coach syndrome.

I totally endorse this.
There are fundamental differences between the Wigan we see now and the Wigan of last season - and those are only the ones we can see on the pitch.
The stories I hear about team camaraderie etc are also massively different.
Yes, we could get beaten this weekend, but we are much stronger in all departments than we were the last time Bradford faced us. For the first time in ages, I'm not worried about what they're going to do - I'm much more interested in our own plans and preparation. If we get those right, we're more than capable of winning this once very tricky fixture. It's in our hands.

| We've set a very good standard. Over the last couple of seasons our consistancy has been very patchy.
We'd play average one week, poor the next, then good, then average again, poor the next week, good the week after that etc etc
This year we have had four out of four very good performances. Should our form drop in one or two successive games then there will be pressure to get it right on track because we have already set our standards during these first four weeks. It's going to be hard and there will be spells when we're not performing with as much high intesity as we're doing now, but that's understandable. Let's hope Madge has control of things and know what to do should performances dip and let's hope the supporters can stay patient and ride through any poor patches that realistically are going happen.

| One game at a time, if we keep winning I will be chuffed, but like you say 10 gamnes in will be a far better indicator of how we will go.
Right now though I am not just happy with results, I am more happy with the way we have played which is why I think we will be top3.

It's the quality of preformence which is giving me confidence we won't do what Hull did last year and drop like a stone. I can't remember all of their first 5 games but picking out the opening game of the year against us at the KC stadium they weren't overly impressive and it really was a game we should have taken.
I believe our squad has enough quality and depth to see this start through to at least a 4th place finish.
