i honestly don't believe some of the people on this wigan forum... talk about high expectations!
we are top of the league with two games to go and 3 points clear. we've had a couple of injuries to key players in richards and tommy yet we are still top of the league and had a decent run in the CC until we bottled it against leeds.
for me this is all about expectations and pressure. the simple matter of fact is, there are a majority of wigan fans who expect more the Wane does and whether its on this board or on the "terraces" to use that term, it will reflect on the team some way or another.
people should get a grip and be thankful we aren't in a much worse position than we currently are like a few years back. it is a game. you win some you lose some. take it on the chin and stop moaning and coming up with elaborate views which make no difference or sense whatsoever anyway!
so we lost to wire in the league the other week and have largely played poorly since (and including) the CC semi final, winning at a canter against salford despite playing poorly. lets not forget the immense work the team put into the season before this point please, as after all we are still where we are. sport has its ups and downs. there is not one team in the league whose form scares me at present so i've no idea where this image of us not playing well enough comes from.
playoff games are (largely) knockout rugby and its what team turns up on the day. if it isnt to be our day this year at any point then we have to accept that. someone has to lose out.
