No other other super league side would have accepted a coach that had a 12 game losing streak.
Because we have MInnards & Carter in control (whom Mr Minnards states he is a life long supporter) and
is taking this club into the championship. It's clear Mr Applegarth whom is obviously the cheap option is not up for the job.
Let's not be bothered because it's quite clear the management are gearing up for the championship. Carter & Co can
be proud of taking this club down. After recently attending the clubs fan's forum Michael Carter came out with the usual bull....
and is leaving his post at the end of the season (Rat's leaving a sinking ship comes to mind). So to end this how
long do we need to put up with this losing streak? 15 matches? 20 matches? this is an insult to trinity fan's.
APPLEGARTH has to go .

Thought he’d gone then.

I was at the game last night but watched the Michael Carter interview this morning. I always think he speaks, very well and believes he is doing the right thing even though I am sure he regrets some decisions but when he spoke about thinking Applegarth was the right man to keep us in superleague I just thought surely you don't really believe that!

He's the most consistent coach in SL at the mo.

Me too, All the coaching staff have to go ,could understand him staying if we were playing free flowing rugby ,but the football is so dire, There is no excitement, just a slow , one pass ,rugby that teams use to play before the four tackle rule was started. Fans are leaving in droves 20 minutes before the end some have watched for 30\40 years never to come back .If the Board think fans will come back when we are in the Championship to watch this kind of dross ,they are way out of touch Never though I would say this but thinking of stopping going my self while these two clowns are coaching. They are turning this great club in to a joke.This sums it up ,watching sky news to day and it showed the Hull try were the Hull player just ran to the line with 3 Wakefield players hold of him, it then said we had lost our first 12 matches and then it went back to the presenter, and she looked the camera and said, think they need a pep talk from the coach .After 12 games our points difference is about 278 -

The Challenge cup game will be interesting for crowd numbers when all have to pay. It will probably be a guide regarding the actual support. Will they reduce the admission charge?

It's -269

As a non Wakefield fan watching on the telly I was shocked to see him, Ford and Gale laughing constantly throughout the match ! Even my 90,year old Dad said “what’s he got to laugh about’ he didn’t look under any pressure at all, watch it back and you’ll see what I mean. It’s odd.

None of em care despite what they said the night before at the fans forum.

Well I've bought my ticket (£20), none attendance isn't going to change the boards mind if 12 losses on the bounce and the worst attack in SL history hasn't already.

We have our tickets too. NS Upper £20.
Predicted to be a good turnout from Leigh so it's turned out a decent draw for a dying competition. I am warming to Leigh a bit as the season has progressed so it won't hurt that badly if they get through to the next round at our expense.

I noticed the same when the camera showed the changing rooms at half time, the players were laughing and joking

We've got our tickets for the cup game. I don't understand how fans not going to matches helps the situation at all.

This always pees me off. The Wigan players were mostly jolly and having a right giggle after their humiliation v Leeds last night. I remember after some crucially important game we lost a few years back Glen Morrison acting looking like he didn't give a bloody toss.
My missus always says stuff like it's just a game or it's sportsmanship. WTF does she know?

Bulls fan in peace. I noticed that too. It wasn't just once where the camera may have panned on them at the wrong time. It seemed a very jovial atmosphere in the coaches box. Same when the players came back out. It didn't seemed to be focused and ready to rip in. Seemed very relaxed and smiley.

That's ok in some games and obviously players aren't going to have Churchillian speeches and all guns blazing every game, but if there was one game where they needed to be full focus and intensity, this was it IMHO I was frustrated as a neutral, preferring to Wakey to win so god know what some of the fans thought.

Prior to the Hull game and following the positivity from the game against Wartington I was considering hospitality, now I'm staying at home.

Interesting use of the word "if" (they get through to the next round). This infers that there may be some doubt about it.
Leigh are playing really well just now and they will beat us by 14-18 points, it could be more.

Last season there were usually around 12 in our group watching Trin.
This season there are 6/7 and on Friday it will be 1 or 2, mind you, because of the game is on Friday, it now clashes with something else.
Ordinarily, the Rugby would take priority but, to sacrifice a decent night out to suffer another pile of crap, is just not worth it.

Following Carter's interview on Sky, we know that Applegarth is safe for the season and that there is no cash for reinforcements and that the fans, who pay their hard earned brass at the turnstiles, just have to suck it up.

I cant think of any other club in any other sport that would be so utterly passive in our situation.

Yes, Wire have stuck with Powell after a really dismal season last year but, there is nothing else close.

Michael Carter what a disgrace. For the CEO to say that relegation could be a godsend is the most spineless attitude ive ever heard. How does a statement like that help the players in our current situation never mind the money paying supporters. The man thinks only about himself. I thank him for his initial actions to save the club but it does not give him the right to preach relegation is acceptable. The quicker he goes the better.

If relegation was that good why do all the clubs except us do what they can to avoid it.

No excitement just excrement….

I see another statement from our coach stating the obvious. The problem is that he has had 12 games to show some improvement and has spectacularly failed to do so. He complimented Hull on their goal line defence but let’s be honest any under 12’s team could stop us from scoring.
I have failed to see any progress under his tutelage so why he thinks it will but I guess it is what he needs to say. He is completely out of his depth but I still believe he was selected not because he was the right man to coach but he was the right man for the club.

Agree,

You mean he came cheap?

Probably but also malleable to the wishes of some.
