Home ends sold out for Good Friday and only a few hundred left in the away end, great effort with three weeks to go

As of last night there were less than 350 left for the away end which as apollosghost says above, there are still nearly 3 weeks to go. 


It's a decent effort considering that most Saints fans I know are thinking the same as me that we could be on for a hiding!

It can't be long until Wellens gets the chop? 4 years without getting to the CC final, 2 years without getting to a SL GF and a tough run of fixtures coming up which could see them slip down the table.

For all the "Wigan would be bang average without French and Field" it''d be god help Saints if they lost Welsby, one of the best defensive displays I've seen from a fb for a long while today and looked their only real threat going forward.
Shame for him that loose pass finally killed the game off but credit to Wire for spotting Saints were shot to pieces on their right hand side and taking advantage of it.

They're just not right St Helens. Ageing players, injuries, no kicker and no cutting edge in attack.


Sailor was atrocious. 

I just hope they don't do anything stupid like sack Wellens before GF.
If he continues to play that team that he basically has done all season I'll be bitterly disappointed if we don't dismantle them like we did Wire.

I really hope we see the excitement levels and the concentration levels of the players pick up for the next two Fridays. I fully understand them being a bit off since Vegas but now Is the time to really give it everything for a few weeks. 

Yep, next 5 games are against the rest of the current top 6, time to put a marker down

How long do we think Wellens has left?


Im surprised he hasnt been potted already tbh (but glad he hasnt)

Wellens has to go doesn't he. They were dreadful last night and they've been pretty poor throughout the season so far. I find them a boring watch. 

I think Wellens has tried to be proactive to sort their attack out but he dropped the wrong player. Sailor is a passenger and shouldn't be starting. Welsby is not a half, he should be at fullback. Pinning your hopes on an 18 year old kid to steer the side round is not going to work when the team isn't playing well, no matter how much of a prospect he is. I think a lot of the senior players are letting Wellens down but ultimately its his responsbility to get them playing.


Saints' record against the top 6 since he became head coach sums it up. He's not the man to take them forward. Hopefully they give him a new contract!

I was only thinking this morning that we have become so bad that Wigan fans now can't even be bothered to take the p**s. They are looking at us with pity as well as hilarity. 


A couple of seasons ago, had we lost like last night this forum would've been busy with Wigan fans logging on and commenting. It's now taken until the morning after for the first post. 


I'm not going to waste my time with a long and detailed post outlining my thoughts as there are a number of decent posters on Red Vee doing this on nearly every thread. It's unanimous that we all want him gone


However I was told in Perpignan by someone close to the club that regardless of results, he is here for the season. Not sure why that is whether it's financial or who they want to bring in isn't available but it's turning more and more toxic each week. Even the match going fans are losing patience. To lose to that Warrington side with the disruption they suffered last night and already without Williams is unforgiveable. 


I fully expect another loss at Magic next week and this situation will get even worse. Rush and McManus have gone AWOL and the only way is down at the moment. 

I don't think Wigan fans have been confident enough to take the pi*s too heavily on the back of that 4 on the spin and because Saints are always there or thereabouts, even at their lowest. It's probably the thing I respect about Saints the most. However bad things get, they're still in the play offs and still win enough games to give themselves a sniff in the one off games. Even now, you look at it and you're 2 points behind us (obviously with us still to play in this round) and things can turn quickly. 


In terms of Wellens, I genuinely feel sorry for him at the minute. Nobody cares more about Saints than him, he seems a really good and respectful bloke and it's obviously hurting him. I thought he looked in a bad place last night and you can almost see his brain ticking over. It's getting to the point where I think it may be a relief for him if it was taken away. I really hope Saints fans stay respectful towards him though. I think the younger generation especially can forgot what guys like that have done for a club and insults towards him and his family are just plain wrong.
