A good coach can limit the distance between a good and poor performance. Today has been three seasons in the making. A change of coach can breathe some life and much needed positivity into the team/club. What we have now is neither worth paying money to see in person or watch on TV.

Doesn't wash with me that argument. We have had the same issues for 3 years. A coach or managers job is to address them. He hasn't because he can't. Time to go. I allowed him Leeds in the cup last year but for a coach with so much attacking threat at his disposal and getting absolutely nothing out of them is incredibly poor. He has turned a good side into a very bad one. Imagine what he would do to a side with no resources?

I can't back sacking a coach who has ultimately won 7 from 8 despite an injury crisis in the backs. I wouldn't renew his contract though and hope we have begun the search for our 2022 coach. If things get worse then yes sack him, but right now he has been generally getting enough results to keep him in the job.

IL has never sacked a coach yet and won't happen this season regardless of how bad it might get. Lots of tough decisions on contract extensions to be made by the Wigan management. I for one hope we show some ruthlessness.

The very definition of ruthlessness would be getting rid of Lam now. The time of season and how long is left in it makes it a no-brainer for me. Just look at Chelsea tonight.

I did. It wasn't much more fun than watching Wigan!

They are backs though and the problem is the pack. Field looked very exciting before the injury (well for the minutes he was in the pitch) but why did we recruit him? French was also relatively unknown but despite his obvious talent Lam doesn’t seem to know how to get him into the team when fit along with Hardaker.

We lost Burgess, Flower and our biggest back row in Greenwood and signed another back. We are now linked with Thornley and even Gelling. It all seems a bit haphazard to me.

He didn't. He just didn't mention them because it didn't suit his juvenile agenda.

But I'm not going to pretend that all is well. It isn't. We aren't good enough man for man, and the coach is unable to get us up for any games that involve more than average effort.

Sorry to say this, but I hope we are now looking for someone else.

In the Radlinski interview he mentioned that June is usually a tough month for him. That's because June is when decisions around contract extensions are made.

Who to extend (and for how long/how much).
Who to let go.
Who to recruit to replace those let go.

I'm sure I heard that something like 9 players are out of contract this season (may be 8 now Gildart has been made official). If someone could add a link, or list the players below that would be appreciated.

In addition IL's one year rolling contract is also up for renewal. So plenty to get through over the next four weeks.

If Maurice Lyndsey was still here he Lam would have been sacked after the game today with the Hull defeat and now this miserable show ML would have sacked Lam.
