Quote: Father Ted "IL said that about Lam being first choice before the Catalans game.
Hopefully after that 80 mins he will be reconsidering.'"
Camp Nou was a huge loss of face for Wigan. It was unexpectedly well attended, masses of Wigan fans made the trip, and even the Aussies are sitting up and taking note - and as usual in 2019, the only ones who didn't seem to have read the script about this being a big day for the game were Adrian Lam and his players.
IL must be feeling deeply frustrated, especially on top of all the other terrible performances.
I can't believe that Lam is still favourite now. In fact, if we don't take at least a couple of the next four games, I think (hope) that it's a certainty he'll be gone at the end of the season.
As for IL's comments ... I doubt he would come out and say anything really negative about Lam in mid-season. What would it have said about his discretion if he'd responded to that question with: 'Adrian hasn't got a hope.'?
