Attack - non existent
Handling - lamentable
Defence structure - there isnt one
Game control - we obviously dont see this as important
Enthusiasm - have seen people rung harder for a bus

I can forgive somethings after all the coach doesn't drop the ball or put a high tackle in - but our set plays are non existent, our last tackle plays are from the stanley rangers under 9 s play book.

Our forwards are powder puff, our two most creative players were battye and westerman - gigot, hampshire can't break wind (i ll let bailey off as he's a kid),

But apart from that, we were brilliant!
The Under 9's are better.

Eddie Battye won't be with us long, he's too good and that's after not playing for 6 months!

How many times have we seen a player join the club have a spectacular first and second game only then to descend into the current Wakefield way coached by Chester.
If he goes back to London he will go back worse than when he came.

I know it’s tragic when a player who has only played one season of SL and hasn’t played again since being relegated looks a class above players who have spent years in SL. You’d think they would be ashamed but it appears not. His appearance made no difference whatsoever to the team as a whole, what a waste.

Having very much been sat on the fence re Chester this season, I am sorry to say that I am quickly running out of excuses for him. No matter what team we put out on the park, we look clueless and that is the worrying thing.

The worrying thing is we are something like 24 losses from 29 games with a few of those results being embarrassing blowouts and almost all being inept, soul sucking, uninspiring performances.

That’s 8 to 10 competition points over a full season which would 100% bring relegation had it been a single season rather than split over 2.

Yet we still have supporters who think we should go into next season with little to nothing changed and Chester still in charge! I for one do not want to take that gamble and think we should change now!

We do have some good players but they’re very badly coached & conditioned, get a new regime in and give them 4 or 5 games and a full closed season to get them fit and organised.
Let’s give ourselves a chance of being better next season

My fear is this, we will blame David Fifita for being unreasonable when we really don’t know what’s gone on. We will play Academy lads because it goes down well with the fans to give youngsters a go and it’s a ready made excuse when we lose games and allows Carter to justify keeping Chester. We will blame injuries when on analysis we have had a decent first 13 or 17 to field in nearly every game. We’ll blame Covid-19 disruption when every club is dealing with exactly the same or worse. Oh and this season means nothing anyway!

Well his recent post match comments sounds like a man waiting for the sack.

Tend to agree.
I've been on the fence for ages because i really think CC has Wakefield at heart, BUT the players are simply not doing it for him
Sadly the buck falls with him. We can't defend for toffee and we have no idea in attack. Unfortunately it's been like it for a long time, and although I feel the players must take some responsibility, I feel it's time for a change of coach, which I think would benefit us, and CC himself.
I feel for the bloke but, we're simply not playing good enough for the quality of players we have. Something HAS to give.

Re: Chester must go now : Thu Sep 17, 2020 5:10 pm  

Game over for him. Lovely bloke but in the cold light of day, it's a business and his workers are not responding. We haven't a half back capable of breaking the line with a smart play and that is key to 2021.
Thanks Chris but that would appear to be the last dance.
