Quote: Trainman "I thought Lam got the game plan wrong. We tried to throw the ball wide before we’d earned the right to do so.
At half time I thought we would be walking away with it in the last 20. I was expecting them to tire after the amount of pressure we put them under defending their line.
Ultimately we gifted them 3 or 4 tries, too much lost ball coming off our line and too many penalties is what cost us. Once we handed them that kind of lead we were never coming back.
Williams’ inconsistency is incredibly frustrating, he’s a fine player and one of the best halves in the country on his day. Today was not his day.
That’s also probably the worst game I’ve ever seen SOL have. After last week I was thinking he could go round again, after today, not sure anymore.
Let’s not go OTT again though. We know and the club know we have a weak front row. That’s not going to change this season, against these massive packs we are always going to struggle. That’s not Lam’s fault. Whether we extend his contract or not depends on who else is available but I don’t think it’s right to judge a coach who has a remit to introduce a completely different style of play to what the players we have were signed to do.'"
The second part of your post is a massive issue. We are Wigan. We demand the best of our players, our coach and every single person associated with the club. If that doesn't sound like you, that's fine. But get out of the way, there's someone out there who bleeds cherry and white and has that fight and will to win we demand here in Wigan.
I hope no one forgets who we are. Our history and what we demand. No one's going over the top. A strong reaction is needed. Anything less is weak. And doesn't put emphasis on what we need.
It is Lams fault. He's no leader. The players follow the leader. The poor attitude and lack of desire, will to win creeps in if the leader let's it. And Lam has.
That squad is good enough to win the league. End of. I want a coach who can get the players to run through a brick wall for them. For thr club.
Currently we've lost all that.
Additionally we've lost all tactical ability and structure. It's a mess.
No more excuses.
