Whats Ainscough up to these days?

He may have been crap but a crap player who gives 100% and cares is much better than what we have now isnt ie?

Plays for Whitehaven, I think.

After the game he posted this on Twitter "Wow that wigan v Bradford score. Feel for the guys"

I like the lad - rather have a team with heart than what I'm currently watching

Seems like he does still care, more can be said.

He would be better than Elliot Kear who was horrendous yesterday. He was either not trying at all or he's the slowest winger in the world.

I cant argue with that, even farrell caught him we arnt blessed with quick wingers, Kear does give his all though always willing to take the first hit up, WHICH HE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DO, he is one of few who seem to try now.

I can totally understand that most of the players are fed up now i get that, through 2 admins not knowing if you will be paid on time, worrying if you will have a job in the morning, if it was me id be fed up also but thats not the point once you pull on the RAB that should instill some pride in you, thats whats missing id rather we go down kicking and screaming that without a whimper.

If the roles where reversed and this was Wigan in our situation do you think they would turn up and play like we are? No, if they did they would be lynched, they would give their all every game and im afraid even though they may not care thats what they need to do, we need someone who knows what it means to play in front the the fans and in big games we need a hero or at least a proper leader.

Apart from the Farrell chasedown I thought kear was the only regular 1st teamer who looked interested yesterday. As already stated he seems to take the ball up often early in the tackle count due to lazyness of our forwards. The four young lads off the bench showed the passion we are missing right now. Wigan did play like that back to back a few years ago against Leeds & Saints. The coach was sacked & replaced by a certain Brian Noble who kept them up.

Main difference was that Wigan had a rich owner (Whelan) at that time, and a regular crowd base of over 12k. That allowed them to buy some players (Fielden and Dobson - so much so they broke the cap and were penalized the following year), we have neither! If Noble came back and got us to 12th, I'd say it would be his greatest achievement!

That's true, although he didn't have huge wealth or a good squad when he took crusaders to the play offs though. Right now with dwindling gates, a poor squad lacking confidence, rumours of dressing room unrest, and clear deficiencies in both attack & defence we have to throw the dice. It would be a huge challenge for anyone at this point to keep us up, but I'd rather go out with a bang than a whimper.

Fair point re Crusaders, overlooked that. Agree with bang for season end. Need to see rapid and drastic improvement starting with defense which starts with attitude

I think Marc Green has made a solid start as new owner by taking time to review what's what and bring in more people to help run the club, especially Ferres who is steeped in RL experience, unlike when OK took over where there were few people with 'industry' experience. In my view the next 2-3 days are vital to show action to address an elephant sized problem. Let's hope he gets it right!
