They've wheeled Benny out now to tell us to get behind the boys. Constant social media messages, club favourites and Powell all telling the fans to get behind the team, get the place bouncing.

Remember when they did that for the first game after Covid vs Hudds.

I'm starting to get worried they're going to be adding pressure to a team that cannot handle it. A baying crowd, "bouncing" cannot hide it's reactions to a dropped ball or a crap kick, it's natural to groan, maybe not in anger but in disappointment. All mistakes that happen normally in a match, but one's that our current bunch get disheartened about, start to self doubt and crumble.

That’s all fine, but who are the pre-match band?

Les Boyd, Nat Wood and Adrian Morley singing "hungry like the wolf"

Then Karl does a Delia and shout "let's be avin ya" to the South Stand

That is beautiful and may just do the trick.

It’s tiresome. There should be no noises coming out of the club this week and all focus should be on Thursday’s game. The fans have been there all season, it’s about time the players and coaches turned up.

One post was "the business end of the season is here" or some other trite comment.

Middleton should just leave 5000 euros in each of their lockers and have done with it.

Just looking at form.

Toulouse have won 3 of their last 6 games. We have won 1.

Their last win being over Leeds on 16th July, ours at Magic weekend the week before.

As a Wakey fan, yes I know, for some reason we won three games against you, I know what watching poop is from a squad who most days, don’t seem to give a fig. I think Houles looked slightly beaten after the HKR loss and I hope you put 40 past them, selfish reasons too. Obviously, if we survive, there is no contest who I would prefer to visit a refurbed Belle Vue. 1000 Wire fans or 4 Toulouse fans!
Good luck Wire, you’ll get this one.

P.s.
Here’s a memory for you, 1982/3. Driving to Wilderspool in the snow to watch Wally Lewis. George Williams and Jacob Miller haven’t half his class put together.

I wonder if the management have misunderstood that being a Championship side is not the same as being a Champion side.

Eugh God, now Dufty's putting it on the fans.

I'm close to lacing my old boots up at this rate.

I have never been more desperate for a season to end, nor been so disappointed in my team. Made worse by the fact that at the start of the season I wanted TO to survive.

The game hasn't kicked off, but it feels like the fans are already the reason for justifying a defeat.
