Feeling your pain in Wakefield.
We've been in this position too many times.

Hope you can help us both out tonight.
Discipline is the key. We were well in control until we had 20 minutes of sin bin and continuous 6 agains.

You easily have the skill. Just need to keep your nerve.
Good luck.

For the first time that I can remember I expect Wakey fans to be willing you on.

The phrase for tonight is most definitely "now the Wire"

Lets get it done tonight then we can all breathe

To be fair he was asked a direct question in the press conference, he’s hardly going to say much different than the fans are really important and we need them behind us.

I don't mind that, you're right, it's an obvious answer. But when the club are constantly saying it, Ben Westwood is saying it, Matt Dufty is saying it i do feel like they are saying we're the issue.

I'll be behind them tonight, i was behind them vs Salford and KR and most were, until they crumbled and then the disappointment set in,. mostly after the final whistle tbh.

I've been behind them for decades, I don't need to be told constantly all week.

I also agree with Smiffy, this increased expectation could backfire. I said the disappointment from fans over the last few weeks was probably fuelled by not only the perceived lack of effort but also Powell still talking up our chances of the top 6, rather than just focussing on the task in hand.

I get what they're trying to do but I also have a funny feeling it could backfire. Toulouse are also playing for their lives also and maybe a cauldron atmosphere (that they probably haven't played in all season yet) might inspire them - even with the crowd against them.

Blimey ... bit nervous about this one. Best I have a beer.

The team will come out to a rapturous welcome tonight. And I honestly believe if toulouse score first, the crowd will rise as they are behind the sticks to roar them on. If they don't react after that,...............well I don't know what to say. Maybe Powell will have to lump the blame on the bar staff for getting us TOO rowdy!

Leaving work early usually has a nice feeling, today I left with a hanging dread.

I think we will win, but can’t bear the thought of it being close. Need to get out in-front early on.

It's the lead (if any) at 60 mins that may determine the outcome of this match.

Now the Wire!!!

Just about to leave Birmingham to travel up. This better be worth it

I have finished servicing my wheelchair, all that's left now is to make my prawn sandwiches and empty the colostomy bag and I will be on my way.

Wire 34 Toulouse 10

Hoping to see the lesser spotted victory in warrington tonight, doesnt often vist the HJ but have high hopes. If not i expect to see the grey crowned departing powelly with its distinctive tail between its legs.
