This club is still alive and just about kicking thanks to the loyalty and generosity of all the supporters who sacrificed their season ticket money this year, myself being one. When added all up it will have been a considerable sum. I did not expect anything back, but neither did I expect to be witnessing such dismal performances. If I could ask for one thing it return it would be for the CEO or the Chairman to make some form of public statement to reassure supporters that they are making real positive steps to address this alarming slump in form. If they are willing to stick by Chester, I would like to hear their reasons why.

However all we get is silence. Some of you may know me. I have been watching and supporting this club longer than most . I will continue to follow its progress but without a significant change to the coaching set up thats it, till things drastically alter. No more season ticket from me if we go into next season with this same coaching and conditioning department. I also talk to quite a few other loyal long time supporters and many are also saying they have had enough.

We have been thrown a small scrap of hope with the signing of Willie Poaching but in my mind the problems are so deep, his appointment will not be enough. I just hope the Directors have the guts to do the right thing and I know these things are difficult. However, if this farce continues the club is finished in SL and there will be no way back.


Briliant post PB, pretty much sums up my thoughts on the current situation.

I feel for Chris, just watched the post match interview and it’s clear to see he’s as disappointed as anyone but this is sport and Coaches only have a certain shelf life. No doubt it’s his toughest days as a coach and I wish he’d come through the other side and grind out some results. Do I expect more from the players, no doubt. I just can’t see it happening any time soon

Re: Bad to worse : Thu Sep 17, 2020 8:16 pm  
I know I always look for the positive which irritate some but I've watched Wakefield long enough to have seen bad times and seen good times follow as I'm sure they will now.
So I'll still be watching even if we lose every game for the rest of the season. Might not always enjoy it but I'll be supporting them hoping they turn it around.

In the mean time although the game was well gone today there were still good performances.
I though Lyne was better than he has been and BJB is finding his feet quickly.
Westerman was good. He is leading the way in the forwards.
Josh Wood's defense was tough as always.
Tanginoa did some big runs.
Thought Battye showed up well too.

Bailey looked like he has a really good player in him but was also well outplayed by Sezer who ran the show. We need to be brave and keep playing him without too much criticism so that he can develop.
Gigot was poor in defense in centre but had some good touches at half back. Not sure what I'd do with him.
I thought Kopy was pretty good too to be honest and unlucky not to score.

Which makes me ask if there was so much good, how come it was so bad.
Ultimately for me it is still game management at half back and Hooker. Giants dominated in that respect which meant they had fresh forwards whereas we were slogging out guts out for no real reward on the last tackle and getting more tired each set.
I still think our fitness isn't the issue but the amount of work we are putting on ourselves.

I'm not sure that is changeable with the current team but that's what I'd be working on this season. Both developing those players in those roles and/or recruitment for next year.
MJ, Hampshire, Gigot and Wood all have good skills but none of them is the complete player we need in their position.

So why sign Gigot and why sign Patton? Chester was raving about Gigot when he signed. Surely they're his choices

Gigot has a Lance Todd medal playing at fullback, he is a player with a great deal of talent and I think that is quite obvious, throw him in a team pulled together by Chester and all of a sudden he looks like an amateur than doesn't even understand the basics of RL.

I've seen him be brilliant for Catalan, but he signed Walker. Scattergun completely which we just can't afford to be

It was a poor display all round including our leagues streaming we were going ok until battye was penalised for golding elbowing him in the face and rhen it was the sezer show just shows what a good no7 can do for a team and if we had had him today the scoreline would have been reversed

Don't blame me I didn't sign him.
I guess we needed bodies and he was available.

Which of our halves is the organiser (the brains) of our attack.
We had enough ball in the right part of the field to score a couple but boy, do we lack any structure or ideas.

Absolutely terrible

Nobody is running the game for us. Add to that the numerous mistakes and it's game over again. :DEPRESSED:

our attack on the line has been terrible for 3 years - sorry but that is down to the halfs being rubbish and no coaching
halfs and coach need to go its run its course .
give poaching a go from the start of next season.
