I appreciate you've got an outsiders point of view looking in at the club and an outsider that seems to wish us well which is always welcomed, i just cant see milward turning things around. I'm not really a negative guy but i've never felt this low being a cas supporter, even when we relegated, i had hope then but just cant see any positives with the way we are heading. I cant see clark, chase and the rest staying if millward does and that means we are right back to where we were in 2004 after all these years of building ourselves back up. i really do hope milward proves me wrong but i cant see it happening.

In your opinion has milward brought anything positive to the club? I think massey has improved and our some of our back room staff have improved but cannot think of anything else whereas the negatives are there for all to see.

Other teams have new coaches come in and dont have these problems, if milward cant get the players to play for him that's his fault, its certainly not mattersons fault that millward cant get the players to play to there potential.

I think this time next year we will be just as bad and people will be saying that milward needs time to get the team to gel and its unfair to judge him till the 2014 season.

As i said on the above post i want to be proved wrong but i just cant see it.

100% agree

Pyeman, your not wrong in what you are saying, what you have stated, i have said myself on many occasion. My honest opinion on what i think milward has brought to cas! NOTHING!!! But my opinion isnt worth a great deal at the minute as i dont see what structures he has put in place for the coming seasons..Im looking and judging by on field displays which quite frankly have been woeful. But to be fair the team he has been left are poor at best..All im trying to say is maybe we should show a bit more patience, me included. I know thats hard being a cas fan cos all we seem to do is wait for something good to happen next season. I blame the board for that though..

I am watching a team that isn't bothered against Widnes tonight. You have some deep rooted problems at your club.

nobody has anything to play for, apart from winning pay.
Surprised it's currently 28-10, well done The Chemics !

The problem has the nickname basil.

Whilst i understand the point you are making, if this team was so poor was matterson some sort of super coach because he got them to play 10 times better than we have this season.

If your just coming on here to troll your going to be taking a break from posting on here, you have been warned

"...we are playing so bad even Salford are doing better than us."

June 29th:

Salford 48 - 24 Warrington

July 2nd:

Widnes 40 - 10 Castleford

Kinda disrespectful to Salford though, wouldn't you agree?

I would.

I seem to recall arguing with the majority who didn't think TM was even a half decent coach.....he must be truly gratified by the recent upsurge in his popularity. He might also remind us of his belief that he had taken us as far as he could (euphamism for getting out while the going was relatively good) and that this years squad, while smaller than ever, includes half a dozen probably playing at least one season too far.

That's not to say IM is a good/bad coach but that anyone thinking our problems can be attributed purely to him is sadly mistaken.

I too thought matterson was under valued, siad two things at the end of last season, people who had a go at matterson would want him back and milward would take us backwards, both turned out to be true.

With amount of fans i have heard saying they are giving up/wont get a season ticket next year, we will have an even smaller squad next year (or go bust).
