| Quote jbuzza="jbuzza"In his video, Mustard says we need to give the squad time given there are 23 new players. Wholesale changes to the squad (and coaching staff) was the club's choice. They knew when the season started and should have been prepared for it. A competitive start in the new home should have been a priority to spark the interest of any new fans. The lack of any sort of joined up thinking at the club is very frustrating.'"
This.

| Quote Smithers99="Smithers99"Bearing in mind I wouldn't recognise a game plan if it hit me on the head. But against a not very good team, wouldn't a game plan be to pin them back inside their 20, avoid penalties and wait for the inevitable mistake and look to capitalise with (hopefully) a bit of creativity. Ok a bit simplistic, but a start.
I couldn't understand that kicking, but may be misunderstanding the rules. Deep in the second half I think it was Thomas kicking from around half way. He sent it towards the Main Stand. Travelled about 10m downfield pitching a metre or so from touch. What was the purpose? If it goes straight into touch don't Whitehaven start from where he kicked it? By bouncing into touch don't Whitehaven start from there (so just a 10m loss)? If the plan was for a Bronco to recover it, the only players who might have done were on the subs bench? What am I missing here, because I don't understand what is was offering beyond not setting up Whitehaven for a counter attack if it stayed in field.'"
For someone with so little RL experience, I vote for you taking over as Coach.

| Quote Smithers99="Smithers99"
My guess is the final number will exceed 1K comfortably. At a stretch maybe closer to 1.5K, but probably won't reach it. The lack of 400+ Widnes supporters will have some impact, I assuming less than 100 from Whitehaven?
.'"
Pretty close to what I suspected.
Seems pretty solid based on what we know. Less away fans. The AFC Wimbledon offer was Widnes or Whitehaven. I'd suspect most of the uptake was on the former. However good the experience, only so many will return at full cost.
A lot depends on the make-up of the 1,400 today. How many fall in the one-off category? How many are second timers? How many are reconsidering future games due to poor performance etc?
The obvious next target area are local residents. That is the (large) untapped market.

| A family issue kept me away but this thread is so depressing to read.
On the pitch we are clearly in the sort of hole many of us expected, possibly an even bigger hole than most feared.
However the off the pitch stuff is seriously worrying. We are two home games in to a critical relaunch. This really was a game to push to newbies above the Widnes game, given the respective strengths of the opposition.
Yet we have cheap kids tickets and then no offering aimed at kids in the stadium.
The fan zone closed. With so few RL fans in London the opportunity to turn matches into an "event" was one of the strongest arguments for stumping up £200k to Dons. Broncos gave it one game...
A smattering of people in the community stand suggesting the community drive is already stalling.
The club is fast getting to the position where it needs a miracle worker not a marketing manager/ commercial manager. (Two very different skillset.) Quite why anyone with a suitable skillset would want to join a club in this big a mess is a moot point.
Deeply worrying times for professional RL in London. Given the Skolars result, this was arguably the worst weekend since 1980?

| Why is the coach laughing in the post match interview? Could you imagine Shaun Wane or any other coach with winning mentality doing that. Get rid of the clown now. He's no winner, he's a liberal school teacher. Get a hard man in.

| They need to have a replacement before they get rid....
1) Assistant Coach is his Brother, so he would leave as well
2) No Youth Coach who can take over
So who exactly would they put in as Temporary Head coach while they look? Would we have Lovell as player coach? And who would take it, squad is weak and thin, and will get battered most weeks, and no budget to improve as all the money is soaked up in the stadium rent.
Nope whether we like it nor not, we will have to get use to what we have
I think we are stuck with Mustard for the foreseeable future

| He seems to be laughing at the absurdity of the fact he wouldn't want to be watching his own team.

| Not that long ago we had had Danny Ward and Jamie Langley at the helm. How times changes with the coaching pathway being destroyed in the process..

Start seeking out replacements in the background. There are plenty of managers out there with decent track records without a job or working as number 2s

| I can't see the head coach being changed. Quite simply to do so would be to accept the decision to appoint him was disastrous and would place the competency of the decision maker(s) firmly in the spotlight
Nothing to see here, move along please...

While that is true, can you really see Hughes or his crustacean mate Lobster having the wherewithal to be able to do that without looking stupid?
