I don't believe Kear has lost the plot, so much as he is a coach under pressure. Any person in any walk of life will when they are not performing to the best of there ability will look to use distractions to avoid placing themselves in the direct firing line.

With JK it is not a case of losing the plot or becoming a bad coach. It is simply a case of the man has reached his limit of ability with Wakefield as he did with Hull previously. I understand that he should go and I am all for it based on current team performance, but is it really worth making a change now with only three games to go. The change should have been made weeks if not months ago.

I believe that maybe keeping him place until the end of the season is not ideal with the (how I see it) majority it is the only logical thing to do now.

Put it another way if he were to go say after the Wire game then there are only two games remaining, no doubt Paul Broadbent would take temporary charge and to be fair very little would change in playing style or team commitment. The pupil would most probably coach in the same manner as the teacher.

If I am not mistaken, isn't JK on the board of Directors in some capacity, if he is then he is hardly going to advocate is own sacking is he??

the team is not at fault in my opinion. it was a shame to see them boo d off on sunday.
they generally put in the effort but the game plan is dreadful.
at the start of the season JK complained about wigans tackling and slowing down the PTB.
this type of defence is now used by most of SL
our attacking gameplan is based around catching the markers out off a quick PTB.

this is utterly useless against a set defence, who are simply ready to muller any player trying to drive in(korky must be getting sick of it by now!!!)

if the PTB is slow then the ball has to move wide to make the defensive line move.

JK seems to have no plan against the current defensive style most teams now use.

You are seriously simple or deluded if you think we put effort in on sunday

Correct! They looked like they couldn't be d. Well, most of them anyway.
Its not all JK, the players have to be accountable too!

OMG...

i was not trying to make out the players were entirely blameless. clearly the knock ons on the first tackle and running into touch on the first tackle is unforgivable.

however this does not alter the fact that with ball in hand we have no moves

and in defence we look like headless chickens.

you can take a look at the lower leagues and see lower quality players playing to a disciplined and organised system.

if they can do it on a part time basis why can kear not manage this?
