He would only criticise me in his next press conference Moggy.

Tim Sheens came over for about 3 weeks when Toppo was coach, never been back since!
Don't think it's the right sun for Robinson in Wakey!

Guarantee that Michael Carter won't be.

Thanks for coming Watson. Your insight is invaluable.

Just like Woolf wasn't a rubbish coach last week when Sts weren't on it, I don't believe Chester is the problem.
If we change we need to go better with an experienced coach, not an assistant trying his hand.

Personally, I still believe we need a midfield general. It will change the team completely. Chester says he's searching for someone.

Ironically, just to add more fuel, I think we are 3 games away from the longest losing run in our history.

Guess neither me. thee nor many others on here will be by then too.

There is no point getting a new coach without replacing Clawson

That was one of the most impotent performances i have ever witnessed from a Wakefield side. The was nothing to worry Saints at all. One Batchelor break that amounted to nothing apart we asked zero questions, one interception by our on loan winger was the only way we were ever going to avoid a nilling. It is not good enough. The can be no excuse with the build up this week, no players dropping out, settled build up, more or less same team. Yet clueless again. Time to go Chester i’m afraid, you are a man out of ideas.

As has been said, Chester replaced Finn with an even older half, not very forward thinking. Money that could have been spent better.
Chester reminds me of David O'Leary at Leeds, he had a great start, then he ended up buying anyone who was any good irrespective of what position they played.

Do you honestly think one player 'a midfield general' as you put it can change the whole facet of the way we play? The players cart it up in ones for the whole game barely making 5 yards. We play the same way week after week. We produce the odd slightly better performance usually when the opposition are below par a la last week. We are clueless, predictable, unfit, ship tries for fun. If a midfield general can sort that lot out he must be some player!!

Makinson had three free runs at the line, same old winger problem.
Fifita has his head elsewhere.
Walker is a disaster area.
The coaching is embarrassing as is the after match interview.
Pathetic

As much as I like my half backs, Lewis and Sterling would have struggled by that inept performance tonight by, what i saw, the front rowers.

It was mentioned earlier in the week about wingers helping out the forwards in running it in, early in the tackle count. Tonight it was nearly every play.

Koppy, Green, Fifita never once looked to have the heart for the battle.

Yes, seriously need an organiser, but just as important, the front row need to take a long look, or we seriously need a clear out in that postion too

Wolf`s team probably performed there worst since he has been in charge and they still won the game, they are Super league champions, we barely scraped SL survival last year and we have a 15% win rate this season, there is a difference is there not?

Saints weren’t on it last week (and still beat us) and Woolf sorted the problem, thus they towelled us this time. Chester has presided over defeat after defeat for over a year and we keep on making the same mistakes. And yet you think Chester isn’t the problem? You are deluding yourself mate. If you think Sam Williams is going to sort this mess out then you are in for a massive disappointment.

Think that's a bit unfair on Kopczak, he did ok in a poor performance and was at least running onto the ball hard, albeit he was repeatedly greeted with very strong defence. The problem was rather than mix it up and sometimes throw it wide on the 2nd and 3rd tackle to give them something to think about and make it harder for them to steamroller us in the middle, we just played the same way over and over and over and over and over again and made it easy for them to smash us up front.

Don’t get me wrong, normally I like Koppy, And personally I think he’s been head and shoulders above any of our other front rowers since he came, but barely did he or Green take it up in first half. Fifita and Battye did, but the game was all but gone, by the time they came on.

Sorry, for me, as a unit, the front row were very poor tonight.

The backs ran it in with effort, and Rocky tried to make ground from impossible positions

How many sl clubs would stick by a coach with 5 wins in 33 and 1 of them agsinst a team no longer in sl....not many if any

Saying that i for 1 minute dont think he going anywhere and will lead us at the start of next season.it dont matter what ithink or any of you think he will be here so on that i will support him while he us our coach yes i am worried about next season but i would be ino matter who the coach with the financial situation.lets hope we can get some good honest players in and to be fair rid of our big earners out like fifita(not done owt since he signed a contract) and johnstone (think where holding him back now)

Why would a decent coach want to join a club who have sold their better players and replaced them with honest pros (which means boring) and have performed so badly.
We all know Chester is going nowhere because how many other clubs would put up with 5 wins out of 31, he knows when he is onto a good thing. It is the supporters who are the ones who must suck up these displays and keep paying the money and also take the blame for the club being unable to pay up to the maximum salary cap.
I hope you are all appreciative that the club haven’t sacked us because of our inability to finance them with the money they require. It’s clearly not Chester’s fault because of what he has to work with it is clearly ours and has Carter said we should cut him some slack.

I think it’s more than just the coach, though there needs to be fresh ideas in that department too for 2021.

For me we are carrying players who have been very good for us over the years but are no longer up to the standard required (most through age).

If I was been ruthless I would target these issues as I think there would be a huge difference given the right players.

1. Organising half - blatantly obvious! Though to be fair I think a complete overhaul would be welcome here. I’d also take Albert Kelly as a 6 too.

2. Desperately need a new quality 9 who can expose the quick play of balls. Wood is almost 32 and his distribution has been poor. Other Wood is fine but he’s a bench 9 for me.

3. Ageing forwards and Front row - Kopzack, Green, Tangata, Ashurst need shipping out imo and replacing with 2 quality props.

4. A full back who can join the line and create the overlap much like ratchford, coote, Tomkins. I’d actually settle for a Hampshire at full back long term.

Brutal but i think there needs to be some big changes in playing squad.

Having just read Chester’s interview he takes no blame it is all the players. The club is bringing forward a playing review to this morning which will include those still under and out of contract. It does not however look into the coaching. We have played various players over the season and a half and yet the performances appear to continue to stagnate. The only fixture during all these are Chester and his coaching set up therefore that would be a good place to start.
I think what we will get to keep him in place is various players being asked to leave and based on his recent recruitment strategy replayed by those in the thirties with an injury record.

Who did we sell?

I’d like to know where we are going to find the money to pay off all these on-contract players (the ones he signed) that he now wants to replace. Good luck with that.

And i also think he is way off with with his summation. I didn’t see a team for the most part not trying, not putting in effort. I saw a team so low on ideas and so poorly structured both in attack and defence that their efforts were going to lead to nothing bit demoralisation. Chester really is going to take any personal responsibility is he?

Boris Johnson takes more personal blame for failings than Chester does

It’s utterly ridiculous for Chester to blame the players when his own failings are so blatantly obvious for all to see. Whoever we played in the pack last night was on a hiding to nothing, we all knew Saints would come out firing so to play one up rugby against them simply meant whoever took it in would get battered. Half backs were anonymous. No attempts at subtlety. Predictable and played straight into Saints hands. And even if he didn’t see that coming after 5 minutes it was perfectly obvious what they were doing yet no changes in tactic were made.
