Wigan on Saturday celebration time : Fri Sep 15, 2017 12:04 pm  

I would love to stuff Wigan on Saturday but do you know what ever the result its an opportunity to show my support and let the players know how much I appreciate their efforts. I can not think of that many poor results and with the rub of the green we could have and should have done slightly better.
The lads need a massive slap on the back its been a fantastic team effort and with just a couple of squad signings I can see the club progressing even further next season . No pressure then on the coaching staff and players. We have a relatively settled squad that should progress next season.
Lets give Wigan a thumping on our last home game and go out on a high, who knows

Agree with both of you. This year was a massive opportunity and who knows when our next shot at making the semis may come around.
That said, considering two years ago we were in the MPG the upward curve the club has been on since then is awesome. The lads have consistently left it all on the pitch this season and I for one will be there to show my appreciation for that.

What does it matter if we finish the season in 6th or 7th, the season as a whole has been a success and an improvement on last season.

At the end of last season we had a points difference of -331 and 20 points, this season with 1 game to play and were on +65 and 30 points. If you want to go a further season back, we only won 7 games in 2015 and finished the 23 regular rounds on -527 points.

Cas fans last year considered 2016 a success for their team and they finished 9 points away from the top 4 on +22 points, this year they improved again and comfortably won the league with games to spare and are on +443 with 2 games to go

Yet at the start of the season 90% on here would have gladly taken 6th place, yet you still want to sneer and deride?
Of course it's a reason to celebrate, we aren't one of the big boys and it's been a super achievement for a club like ours.

I shouldn't respond you at all really, but jeez you are either a good troll or an utter fool and I genuinely can't work out
which!

You're the kind of fan I always dread being stood next to on match day. Glass half empty or what

I'm on nights but I'm gonna drag myself out of bed to give the lads a good send off after their efforts this season, regardless of how it finishes. I think we all realise we might never get this chance again but we've come so close on a number of occasions this year that you have to hope it's all part of the learning process.

Up the Trin!
