He may be lacking confidence in the younger lads he's had to put in yeah, but not with the senior players. Bateman for instance is a player that clearly doesn't stick to a rigid structure and plays more off the cuff and I certainly don't think Wane discourages him or anyone else from playing that way. He's just had his hand forced into having a conservative game plan. Could be wrong obviously but that's how it looks to me.

It certainly stuck out a mile last night when Bateman saw a bit of space in front of him and headed full pelt for the line. Next thing, we had scored under the posts.

More of this kind of thing, please!



Asothers have said, our 'stock' attack is so easy to defend against; I can see it coming a mile off, so I'm sure opposition coaches and defenders can too. We won't win pots by relying on a bit of good footwork from Bateman or Williams.That should be regarded as a bonus, not the main source of points.

My last game was Saints at home and that was enough for me.
If I want a kip on a Friday night I can find somewhere comfier and les expensive than the DW on a Friday night

As a current season ticket holder you've already paid for your ticket. You don't have to spend a fortune in the stadium, therefore if you don't attend you have wasted approx £20 anyway.

I don't think Lenagan is a muppet, when the time is right I'm sure he will act. Your personal crusade will make 0 difference.

It's not a crusade but a personal choice.
I feel less frustrated by not going so it makes a difference to me.
As I say a personal choice which others may disagree with but hey ho

But I won't have wasted my time.
If you buy a defective product and you can't take it back you can either carry on using it or discard it. I've chosen the latter.

You are wasting your time quality rugby no longer matters the happy clappers will kiss wane's backside regardless of the dross we have to endure every week

I don't compare supporting Wigan to buying a "product". It's more emotive than that. If you buy defective goods, there is usually an alternative brand to purchase. There is no alternative to Wigan. I was born in this town and I will attend games home and away even if it bores me to tears. Call me a happy clapper or whatever, not d. I'm not ready to discard the club just because they aren't playing well.

We'll come good and the negative armchair supporters will conveniently disappear (again).

I can understand that. If I lived in Wigan I'm sure I'd go to every home game, however they were playing. Travelling to away games would be dependent on form, though, amongst other factors.

Well said mate, proper fan! Some people are massively entitled on here and don't understand the concept of 'supporting' the team; we are supporters after all.

I'm critical at the moment, does that mean I don't support the team still? I have always posted constructively why I think we are underperforming and asked what is being done by the coaching setup to change it. Trust me, I still support the team as much as ever, it's just pure frustration that we don't seem to be moving forward, and all the noises that come from Wane make it appear like it isn't an issue to him. He can get us defending, he can get us all pumped up, but we can't attack. We haven't been a potent attacking team in well over a year. That frustrates me unbelievably and I can't see anything from Wane that makes me think it will change. What I class as good, imaginative, smart rugby is a long way from what we've seen this year and a lot of last year.

I'm glad yourself and others can tolerate what we have produced this year, I wish I could do the same. I want to enjoy watching our team, I just don't enjoy watching us struggle so badly, playing predictable catch and pass rugby, when we are clearly capable of so much more.
