| Quote ="WARRIOR5"Whilst I do think Lam needs to be cut SOME slack, I totally agree. The team is littered with quality and multiple grand final winners, they just aren’t playing like it. Anyone using our squad as an excuse is simply that, an excuse.
Hardaker, Gildart, Manfredi, Williams, Leuleuai, O’loughlin, Flower, Greenwood. There’s some real quality there.'"
Exactly. I'd cut him some slack if we were looking decent, a competitive winning side who were still off perhaps the likes of Saints or Wire, but that's not the case, we're terrible.

| Smell the custard.
The pack has no quality depth...something that needs to extend beyond even the bench.
Even the most senior players have been sporadic, with the star signing spending more time off the pitch that on it.
That pack is desperate for another quality prop and running back rower.

After reading your recent responses my genuine thoughts are... 'who cares'.
Of course it's a place for discussion, so you honestly don't have to ask for my permission.

Do you think the team/squad is as good as it can be? And we need to sign more players to place anything higher than joint bottom?
While I think we need new additions to be a GF winning team, I think there's well enough quality to be at very least competitive.

For a Wire fan you certainly spend a lot of time on the Wigan forum. Though this only seems to be of late, which could coincide with Wigan’s current form.

Some of that but mainly because there's a game this week in case recent activity on here instead of the pitch clouded things.
Don't worry because I'll not be back when you beat us.

We were saying the other day that Wigan seemed to have a very unbalanced squad lacking in depth. You are never in the short term going to replace S Tomkins and Bateman and I'm not sure if you have replaced McLlorum either and the other side of the coin you have 4 wingers and 2 full backs when you need an extra half back and a prop to challenge the players that are in that position now.
Is it a season too far for O'Loughlin now that Wane no longer has an influence to keep on going. Lam has inherited a weaker team and Lenegan obviously needs to splash the cash in his favour.

Still a team good enough to be way higher than joint bottom. Still a squad to be pushing the top lot.
It's not like we've slightly declined, we've gone from champs and undefeated in the playoffs to joint bottom on 2 points. That's a massive fall. Would be ignorant not to consider a change in coach to be a factor.

| Despite Lam's positive spin on the game in his post match interview, I'm still convinced we're in big, big trouble unless major changes are made.
Yes there was effort but the physical inferiority was shocking as was the basic errors, penalties and lack of attacking ideas.
I actually would be prepared to have a little charity bet that we will be relegated UNLESS there is a coaching change or some significant player recruitment.

We won’t get relegated, not if Furner stays at Leeds

| Our next four games before Good Friday are vital to get our season kick-started:
Salford A
Catalans H
Cas A
Wakefield A
To be honest I can only see us winning one match (Catalans at home). I believe the league & playoffs have gone. We must do everything we can to secure Super League status, maybe have a decent cup run (but not at the expense of survival).
2019 has gone, plans must be put in place for 2020.

| I’m afraid Lam seems utterly delusional.
He’s happy because training goes well. He sees a defeat as a turning point in the season.
The bloke’s on a different planet.

He's just utterly out of his depth and waiting for the hammer to fall.
Lenegan needs to pull the trigger now.

IL is not a sacking coach. Refused to sack Noble and Wane (despite the fairytale ending there had been many, many calls for him to go).

This
We need to keep our collective knickers on.
The bleating hysterics from some wigan fans is cringe worthy
Our timing was off tonight but I finally saw a glimmer of this improved attack we have been promised
Sacking him would only further destabilise us unless people are suggesting he’s lost the dressing room?
Which after 6 games is comical. He ain’t and deserves more time.
