The same Wane who purposely set out to injure your players with his thuggish tactics and dreadful rugby? Aye I’m sure your brain dead posters would love that, not that he’d ever lower himself to your level however

Do not think all these injurys are down to bad look .The people who pland the close season should be ashamed .5 wins in 20 games does not make good reading ,when you can see all the same problems are there from last season

Re: Chester Out : Fri Jan 31, 2020 11:45 pm  

As fans you don't have to just blindly accept what goes on. The pre season games we were clueless and pathetic. We now have won 4 of the last 20. The dads army recruitment and loyalty to under performers is ridiculous. No kicking game, we look like schoolboys against men. Smell the coffee, in 12 months we've gone back 5 years and in danger of not just relegation but even existing.

Ludicrous calling for him to go imo. We were flying last year when we last had a fit team. Club on our budget needs its big players on the pitch and we haven't been able to do that consistently. I dont know what some people on here expect Chester to do.

I agree about us going ok last year with everyone fit (apart from the opener at London).
However, KR have brought in 20 players and yet, they looked to have a plan on how they were going to play and despite making errors themselves and conceding plenty of penalties, we were just awful.
Every time we tried to build some pressure, there would be yet another handling error.
Personally, I believe that, just like London last season, we believed that all we had to do was turn up and that the two points would be ours.

That side were not prepared mentally, KR on the other hand were.

Brough missing for a while will really test us as without him, we dont have a serious kicking game.

Looks like a long, long season ahead.

Yeah thats what I mean, I know it was pretty bad but I dont think we can read too much into it, impossible to get any kind of rhythm out of a team thats dropping the ball every 2 mins. We were in it until last 10 mins but just couldnt get anything to stick.

Not ideal but we wont have another game this year with so many handling errors.

Re: Chester Out : Sat Feb 01, 2020 12:21 am  

Only some of us Kingross.

FWIW, I don’t mind the Wigan of more recent years on the whole.

A bit of young, local talent mixed in with a bit of aggression.

Maybe at times, we play, as a team, a bit soft.

Would do the club good, bringing in some of the old ticker to some players. Might be something we lack

Re: Chester Out : Sat Feb 01, 2020 12:26 am  

Only just got back home

The longest drive of my life

I really can’t think of a match where we’ve played worse

The only thing I can think is that in the pre season training, Chester has instructed the team to practise knocking the ball on and giving penalties away

Had being looking forward to the match all month too

We have to do better
I believe we are much better than what I saw this eve

We've been that for about 4 years but relied on individual off the cuff brilliance to get results. Johnstone, Tupou, Fifita and even Hampshire aren't bailing you out at present.

You don’t sack a coach one game into the season, simple as that. Yes the fact that the same problems going back the best part of 18 months seem to remain is a major concern but he has to be given a chance to turn it around. If in another 6 or 7 games time the same problems persist then it may well be time to act, but until then he has the chance to prove people wrong. Over to Chester.

He's had his chance to turn it around. He failed. We lost badly to the team everyone is tipping for relegation. If he doesn't go now, it'll be us who are relegated.

Re: Chester Out : Sat Feb 01, 2020 7:00 am  

Frustrating following a loss and poor performance. Similar to last season really. But we got our act together to go 3rd and after London no one would have thought that. We're always going to have some knee jerk fans and some positive whatever fans. It's just in different people's makeup.
There'll be some bum kickings and changes for Catalan and we go again.
