When we're winning that stuff becomes endearing.
He endured a tough start but 6 from 7 (the defeat coming away at SL's best team at this moment) is quite a response. I'm not going to get carried away thinking it is all jam from here, but he's shown he's resilient and can deal with and overcome adversity.
I guess Disco Dave's Derby Dash will live longer in the memory, but Scott Taylor's two tries @ Salford was maybe when we turned the corner (?).

I think the way we played against Hull whilst Dobson was in the sin bin may have been a big factor in our turn around too,
Actually, I believe that it was after the derby at the KC that things turned around. The riot act was obviously issued and everything upped a pace (along with the return of Blake, although our injured again now).
We have lost one game in the last seven, and that was away at Wigan. In the end that was a respectable score as well, much better than most are getting from the Pie Eaters at the moment.
Please don't forget that at the start of the season, we had loads of injuries, loads of new players and a new coach. It was always going to take time to get into their stride.
And as for people saying that Huddersfield looked poor, nobody has actually pointed out that they were poor because we made them look ordinary rather than them just being generally poor which they weren't at the start of the game.
I believe the turnaround was when we got Galea & Green back got a little confidence into our game and the rest is history.
"They supercede individuals, they supercede the team and they supercede the club. Our club is a traditional, working class club and the supporters are loyal and passionate and to see them go away happy really makes my day." Craig Sandercock.
We'll need a speculation thread as well as a rumour thread at this rate.
I believe the turning point was when I changed which turn style I enter the ground at for the London game, that and predicting we'll lose every week.
'Time has come to air the voice of reason, in a world gone mad, adrift on banal seas, for all who feel that lies have had their season and whose hearts cry out instead for honesty. For all the weary souls grown bored with dreaming, this thirst for beauty and for knowledge goes unslacked. For all who want to wake from what is dreaming to know what's real and what is real to embrace. For all who've watched with mounting horror, evil's rein upon this world grow ever clear, for all who've prayed in vain, emancipators, wielding swords of truth and laughing without fear...naaaaaaa'

I would sooner see a coach / manager show a bit of passion rather than just sit there with his hands on his thighs..

The turning point IMO was Salford. Could see what winning that game meant to the players.
Rally round the Robins!
