| Quote: moto748 "Leeds have got some talented young players and I'm sure they'll throw the ball around a bit; we should do the same. We certainly won't beat anyone with the pedestrian attack we've seen lately. But I feel as pessimistic as most of you guys,not least re Peet; even with the best will in the world, the guy is on the back foot from Day 1.'"
I’m not sure that we can fix our many issues before tomorrow night which has been further compounded by the latest bans on two of our most experienced players.
I agree with you 100% that our single biggest issue is that we are so slow in attack that we will be vulnerable against any team and with Leeds needing wins to move up the table another defeat I think is almost inevitable.
I am a bit nonplussed with the Peet appointment and on balance would probably go with a new broom so to speak however, there would be as much risk in going that route so at this point I just hope that IL has made the right decision.

| This weeks BBC RL 5Live Podcast has Kevin Brown, Phil Wilkinson and Gareth Walker on all discussing Wigan and not once do any of them mention the main issue - the coach.
KB almost gets there but bottles it. Phil Wilkinson plays it like we’re all fickle and it’ll be reet if we win 2 games and Gareth Walker just a mix of both. Why do we have such abysmal journalists and pundits who are scared of touching the real issue? If this was football and say Jurgen Klopp with Liverpool the press would be circling like vultures. I’m not saying that’s right but at least they’ve got bottle to actually say what the fans are thinking and not make it up like PW.

| Depending on who PW speaks too, that may be right. There'll be plenty of people who think he's been unlucky with injuries etc and was "2 mins away from winning the grand final"

TBH I feel it is a bit of both.
I think it’s time for a change and I don’t feel Lam is getting what he should out of this team and hasn’t done throughout his tenure.
Having said that there are a number of mitigating factors that are out of Lam’s control. We have, yet again had a significant number of injuries and we are clearly fatigued with the frequency of games we have played. He doesn’t have the personnel up front which the GB fiasco was meant to resolve.

Local media struggle with the football as well as the rugby. I suppose it’s probably to do with access to the clubs and it being removed as is sometimes the case elsewhere. The level of scrutiny doesn’t go anywhere near far enough which is why last week’s mauling by Sculthorpe et al, although painful to watch, actually had a lot of truth in it.

| 174 minutes without a try.
There is literally no excuse for Lam still being head coach, irrespective if we somehow pull of a win tonight. Leeds down to 12, 11, 12 and we still didn’t look like scoring. Shorrocks throwing balls from dummy half everywhere, shift it left and give it Faz. Shift it right and let’s just make it up. This standard of rugby is absolutely appalling. There’s better on offer at amateur level than this.

| Breaking records for fun these days.
Last week first time we failed to score against Saints at the DW.
Tonight the first time we failed to score a point at the DW.
Tonight the first time we have been nilled at home in 31 years.

| Surely that has to be his last game. I don't know how bad we would have to be otherwise.

I've just looked it up, first time we have failed to score a try in consecutive home games since 1974 (0-0 v Cas in the League, 6-10 v Wire in the Challenge Cup).

| The lack of action from IFL on this if Lam is still there by our next game highlights a total lack of strength from our senior management.
He must go.

So even Millward served up better rugby.

| So have we all had enough of Lams “attacking rugby”?

I'd still say Millward stands alone in terms of bad Wigan coaches. We are miles better defensively than we were then. It's hardly high praise though, he needs to go. I get the feeling we will bounce back and when the first game after he goes if they were to sack him as well and maybe start to pick up some form at the right time.

He looked like a condemned man in his post match interview. Said things like “I’m going day by day and week to week”. He must know the axe is falling.
