| As a Wigan fan, I must admit that I don't think Saints are as bad as is being made out here. I think Lomax especially is a fantastic talent and people like Gaskell and even Wheeler don't seem far behind.
In terms of the worries about lack of leadership, I suppose thats something you might have to cop in the short term while the youngsters learn at the top level.
The defence does seem to be an issue for you lot. 36 against a Dobson-less KR and another 34 tonight obviously suggests problems! I wouldn't worry too much though. It was less than a year ago since you lot defended superbly on Good Friday last year and were unlucky not to win the game.
As for Wellens......he needs to go! Passed it for me!
So all in all, don't panic! Id expecting Saints to be right up there in the cup and the league, in fact I think you'll win one of them (difficult to say! haha)
See you on Good Friday at your new ground which DOES look very nice!

I will look to the moment, and miraculously, the future will take care of itself.

2553.gif I've seen them bomb a quarter final, bottle a semi final, finish as league leaders, but I've still, never, seen the Wire win the league

| think having a leadership group wouldnt be a bad idea. wellens isnt exactly mr motivator in terms of his talking and from the bits i saw lomax seemed to be handing out a lot of the rollockings. get a group together wellens, puletua, lomax, soliola, roby, flannery and encourage them to all be leaders - perhaps even rotating the captaincy? worked well under maguire at wigan in season 1 and it really brought out the best in guys like coley, fielden, joel t and leuluai who had all been playing well but as individuals before then.

| The question is less to do with who should lead the team than whether there is an obvious candidate. Watching the team last night - aside from a couple of moments when Wilkin took control and thumped the ball downfield early in the six - I was struggling to find anyone who looked like he has the attributes to encourage others to follow his lead.

| I can't wait to go to your new stadium. The sound seems to come across really well on Sky atmosphere wise, and it looks great. You appear to be getting good attendances too, the stadium has looked pretty much full for your games so far. Out of interest, what have your attendances been so far?

15k and 13k so far.
Atmosphere wise, the sound carries far, far better than it ever did at Knowsley Road. You can actually hear other stands singing. It should be rocking when a team with bigger away support comes to town.
