I think the title says it all.

Personally I cant wait till 2009 is over and alot of these drunkards are out of contract and dispatched elsewhere.

Hanley is needed and needed fast, he will sort the wheat from the chaff.

Show no mercy Ellery lad.

Thing is, with the exception of a handful, the players are all different from a few years ago. So is it the small band of the same players (Briers, Bridge, Wood, Gleeson etc) that are the problem, or something much deeper?

We need a coach which will motivate the team and not be in it for the money. We need a coach who will be sitting with his players all the match and on the touch line barking out orders.

Not Lowes who was in the stands with his head in his hands all match. Lowes is a disgrace bvut we wont get rid of Lowes because the Wsrrington board have not gpt the balls to get rid

I hope tonights match would change their minds, then again maybe it won't and be totally oblivious to it.

Exactly right, sorry but you will never do anything while Briers is there,he is your over-rated (by a small minority now),=redword removed bad apple. He needs to go back to football where all his diving and other antics are common place.

Sacking Lowes and appointing another coach with no experience won't make us great.

Sacking Lowes and appointing a top class coach might.

As an outsider looking in, I have to agree about the players in terms of being to blame.

The truth is that the so-called big names are no where near as good as the hype would suggest (examples Briers, Monaghan, King & Vinnie Anderson) and the youngsters are simply not yet up to it at SL level (examples Riley, Penny, Blythe).

You hint a drinks culture. Not the first time I've heard this in terms of Warrington. If there is something in that then perhaps appointing from within wasn't the answer.

Either way it looks like a real uphill battle. Having seen the last two matches on SKY, it's a battle the players don't look to have the stomach for whether they are alleged to have the quality or not!

I'm glad someone finally mentioned Vinnie Anderson, the bloke hasn't had a good game in 5 years.

I'm very upset after tonight's result. It was nothing short of shambolic, and it upsets me that we put our hope for these lads to fulfill our dreams. But James Lowes' press conference afterwards is breathtaking. How he can be positive after that, after our start to the season, I don't know.

I actually feel he's taking the p'iss, I seriously can't take him seriously, I just can't understand why he would say that. I'm sick and tired of his negativity, his contradictions and his completely arrogant persona he has to him, it's hard enough being a fan and seeing the players perform like that, having a manager who's just as uninspiring as those lads is deeply upsetting. I'm truly shocked after that.

I couldn't agree more. I actually (This will sound daft) feel very angry that he's ruining something that I love very much. It goes beyond what happens on the field during the 80 mins, I actually feel as the face of the club, he's wrecking then whole damn thing somehow.

Outstanding post, I'm also very shocked as well and something needs to be changed and quick.

It doesn't sound daft at all, JWP, I completely agree. When you love something so much, you can't help but be upset/angry when you see that thing being made a mockery of. We, as fans, dream of the club winning, doing well, enjoying themselves and us enjoying ourselves. Seeing that team, rock bottom in terms of confidence, and our manager slumped in his chair looking gormless all night hurts as a fan, I'm sorry but it does, and for him to come out and completely contradict everything he says/does, is like a kick in the balls.

I apologize if I sound OTT, but seeing that tonight was the last straw.

I know what you mean. It's like someone is pee'ing up your back and tell you it's raining.

If he was honest enough to come out, last week, this week, whenever. Lay his cards on the table, tell you we stank, the players were crap, tactically he was exposed and him & Wright are going to get together a Plan B, I'd still be bloody angry, but the acceptance of wrong doing I'd respect. We're all human, we all make mistakes, and thus we can relate to such things. To make out, we're just a few little tweaks away from greatness just beggars belief, and isn't consistent with reality, which I just saw with my own eyes.

I've never felt so bitter towards somebody that I don't know. It's terrible really, I'm not like that, but I really am angry at what he's doing.

I agree. I honestly felt like he was joking, I really did, I just don't know how he came to those conclusions, especially when he spent most of his time staring into the sky.

THE PLAYERS ARE NOT PERFORMING!!!

Basic player mistakes and player errors are costing Jimmy Lowes his job. I suspect tactical play developed in training has not yet been employed due to the wire playing on the back foot during most of the last three games.

It appears Jimmy is backing his players to the hilt, as you would expect. Obviously staying cool under pressure ensuring a ‘no panic’ mentality is Jimmy’s style, nothing wrong with that.

Additional unnecessary pressure added by Skent, with his probing questions to Jimmy is not helpful to Warrington. Cracks are obviously apparent with Jimmys uncomfortable demean during the interviews…. Skent to Jimmy is the BBC to Alex Ferguson.

The players need to look at themselves in the mirror and ask are they giving everything?

On a positive note the players Jimmy has brought in are performing. Higham and Carvell a pair that Jimmy can build on.

The old guard need to play catch up and produce an effort in line with Jimmys new recruits.

COME ON THE WIRE!!!!

carvell was a great buy !!! will be sat on his butt for weeks as predicted by the hull fans

Are the performances due to the players following Lowes instructions or realising his techniques don't work and try to fix then?

Not Mr Stat Attack?!


I'd like to close this post with a final comment,
Lowes out.

Bore off with that, it's very f*cking annoying.

smacked off his boobs at 3am, go to bed little boy

Do you [iseriously[/i believe that even Hanley has the ability to turn around this shower of e around and turn them into matchwinners?

Do you think he will get rid of the drinking culture that embodies the club currently?

No chance at all.

No doubt these "superstars" were out beering it up again just like they were doing last week after the Catalans game.

Seconded.

I don't think you can blame a drinking culture on what we have seen for the last 7 games, it goes much deeper than that. The whole culture of the club needs to change and that needs to be done through strong leadership and a very strong coach. The board need to appoint someone with vision.

Nonsense. We need a thoroughly professional, highly-paid coach who is in it for money and bonuses achieved when he brings success to the club. Plenty of passion will come along with that. The sort of coach who 'will not be in it for the money' will be found coaching in the amateur leagues.

By the way, Ellery 'I'm the daddy' Hanley is not a thoroughly professional coach, just a fine ex-player with minimal coaching ability.
