Surely that must be the straw that broke the camels back?

Is there anyone who really thinks that continuing with this coaching setup is going to deliver anything other than what they've managed to deliver so far?

Yes, I know it's not just the coach - but ultimately it's his squad, his decisions, his coaching, his tactics, and his selections, and none of them are working.

Who recruited him ?

People who should also go. But he's an adult and knew the situation when he took the job. Sadly he's simply not capable of coaching at this level and it's disappointing that he put himself, the players, and the club in the position by accepting a job he couldn't do

Got to agree, sadly. Don’t know who we’d bring in, but this simply isn’t working. I thought after the Salford game we looked to be turning a corner, but we are atrocious. By far the worst Wakey team I’ve seen play in my time watching. It makes for a really dour spectacle too.

He got given the job before he was ready. It’s not hindsight, many including myself said as much when he was appointed. He will likely pay the price soon enough and get thrown under the bus but the buck stops with the people who gave him the job.

Said already tonight I’d give it to proctor if he wanted it. Get him off the playing today and he knows more about the game than anyone in the club.
Also he’s the only one I see looking like motivating the team but he’s just not a player anymore.
He gets my vote can’t do any worse and at least has passion

To be honest, one of the U9s from Stanley Rangers could achieve the same record as coach as Applegarth has managed.

It was always going to be a gamble. You can't just go straight in as first team head coach in Super League. People said at the time, "look at Matt Peet at Wigan, he's done alright". Well, we're not Wigan and the difference in coaching experience between Applegarth and Peet is like chalk and cheese.

I want to see three club statements

1) An apology for the disgrace of a season that was supposed to be celebrating 150 years.

2) Applegarth’s resignation/sacking. The man who relegated Wakefield.

3) Carter going NOW.

I don't think he'll ever be ready., and that's OK, not everyone in the game is cut out to be a SL coach, just like most players aren't cut out to be SL players

But he backed himself for the job knowing that he didn't have the skill set needed to deliver - or even more worryingly - believed that he did actually have the skill set.

Hard to disagree with this. Carter has really spoiled it for himself too. He wanted his legacy to be saving the club and delivering a new stadium - but his actual legacy is going to be one of hamstringing the squad to the point we are likely to be relegated

Applegarth and Ford need to go

For all the good Carter did at the club he won't be remembered for any of it after this season.

Carter won't go without the stand named after him or a statue outside it, he's bigger than the club

Couldn't agree more on this.

Eight games, nilled four times, total of 47 points scored. Absolute joke.

He likes to think he is.

Nobody is.

Let's hope the statue resembles a flacid penis

And after that first game 4 tries in the next 7 games. Have we ever been that bad?

Imagine how bad it would have been if they were still being coached improperly by Willie Poching...

It's time to change, before it's too late.
We've gone with a budget squad and an inexperienced SL coach and sadly, very sadly, we have been found wanting (massively).
.8 games in, almost a third of the season and with the exception of the Salford game, we have not looked close to troubling our opposition and on too many occasions, we haven't troubled the scoreboard.
Excuses can be made for different things but, the bottom line in that we are 0 from 8.
There was plenty of effort from most of the 17 on show tonight but, sorry, it's time for a change.

I feel sorry for Applegarth but, this has all the hallmarks of the Casper Smith season and our coach, unfortunately, is out of his depth.

Poor form from some of our "fans" tonight too. Not our greatest night.

A lot of people saying sack Apelgarth but for me he’s a coach we should look to keep at trinity. Possibly for the future but he’s still a valuable asset even if it is only meant to be in the youth/assistant set up for the coming years.

I’d give him till the Leigh game and expect a result but I wouldn’t sack him from the club if we don’t win.

I would look to bring him back into an assistant role alongside Ford if there’s a change to happen and look for a coach to come in above them both.

That said, if there’s not the money there then it’s irrelevant.

If the board stick with him through thick and think no matter what then I really hope he gets some success this year as it must be a real rough journey so far for him.

Losing Jowitt, Murphy, Bowden and Tanginoa nearly all year is just silly rotten luck to start with.

I really hope he and the squad can turn it around vs Leigh at home.

If we didn’t win tonight under Applegarth, we won’t win against Leigh under Applegarth. The bloke needs to step aside.

I was one of those who thought Mark and James was a shrewd investment in the future… and they may still be… sadly if they remain in charge this year… with no squad improvement, then we will be relegated.

Ps I quite like Will Dagger, decent squad player… but he’s not half the player that Corey Hall is!
