Actually, it only has to be on the scale of when Willie took over!?

I think now is the time you see whether Carter is actually serious about this club or if he actually wants out. If you do go down I honestly cannot see you coming back up and you will end up like Bradford.
Getting in players at this point is too late. It should have been done weeks ago and anyway the deadline is this week. Even if you had the cap space it would be a waste of money.
You need to get someone in to help Poching. Some fresh ideas and a fresh approach will help lift the squad at least. The players showed at the beginning of this year and the end of last what they CAN do. You need someone to remind them of that and bring it out of them.
Poching has spent his career as a cone placer and drill overseer he’s way out of his depth and hasn’t the skills to get you out of this- Carter should put his hand in his pocket and get someone in if he’s serious about the club remaining in SL- if he doesn’t…. Well you have to hope another club slips up / helps you out.

There's been some pretty bad performances, Leeds first half at home, Leeds away, Cas Good Friday was terrible, and a few more, but being kind, i suppose there were some mitigating circumstances for those games. The worst and most unforgiveable one, obviously because of the final score, was Salford away. We had just won 2, ok not great performances, but at least we showed some fight and bottle, especially against Hull coming back like we did, then to go to Salford and to 'play' like we did was unforgiveable and bordering on unprofessional. Unless we were fielding a team of kids which we weren't, to concede 74 points is just criminal. Also, how could 'dropping' Evans & Walker from magic ever be justified?! They were arguably our best 2 along with Whitbread, and we seem to have coaches who don't reward certain players with continuity of selection, which doesn't bode well for togetherness in the camp me thinks.......

Not sure which is actually the worst thing, getting relegated or having to read what you of all people from shudds have written, it isn't as though you give a toss.

Firstly, thank you for clearing that up Luton, I do appreciate it.

Secondly, I will apologise for my shot. I’m probably not the first, not the last.

One thing, I won’t accept, however, is the snide digs at me, on the likes of here, Facebook and Twitter, making me out to be the scapegoat for our financial problems back in 2012 and 2013. It was nearly 10 years ago, and barely holds any relevance now. I also wasn’t the ones in the boardroom, making decisions, such as slashing season tickets and outsourcing catering etc

It works both ways

It was your agent and spokesperson Mr Wilbury what brought you to the attention of the Wakey board, followed up by that bloke from Luton getting involved in none of his business bringing it on here from twitter and faceache, you reap what you sow squire on these and that north standers, anyway apologies accepted

As much as it pains me to agree with a Giants fan this post is 100% correct and anyone who disagrees is deluded.

Yes it's a fair assessment of the situation ,but realistically what can be done and who if anybody would want the job.

Should have given it Anderson in the first place. No nonsense. Will get the defence sorted out, get the forwards working well, you won’t get anything fancy but you will get simple and effective. He will be able to put something in place quickly that will work with the players you have. It’s not champagne rugby but it wins games. And the players will respect him.
