| At the risk of getting very carried away after todays magnificent win, is it actually possible to make the top 8 ?
Hull FC, Hull KR and Widnes would need to be caught and all 3 have to come to Belle Vue.
Widnes will also be distracted by their cup semi final against Cas so IMO, it's game on !
Lets try and encourage the stay away's to come on down to Belle Vue and get the place rocking.
The atmosphere was great today and with a low crowd, just think what it would be like with a capacity crowd.

God, I wish I had your optimism.

| No. But if we play like we did today it will give hope that we can kick on next season and avoid the bottom four split.

Today should hopefully help to attract more to the Hull game.
People have obviously voted with their feet in answer to a string of abysmal performances, I'm sure they will come back with a couple more performances like todays.
I honestly thought there looked more than 4000 there today but if that's how the figures added up then so be it, so in that event it was a total embarrassment to the club; but there again Wakefield have always been blessed with supporters who want success but aren't prepared to play their part in getting it .

I'm a happy depressive - the glass is half empty but the bar is open.: |
|
| I'm enjoying the win today (obviously, it doesn't happen often) but I'm waiting until top 12 is guaranteed before even thinking about the top 8

Knuckle down and play and work hard will do me.

| Jeez even I'm not THAT optimistic..
I'm not saying we won't but let's just take one win at a time.
When we are in 10th or 9th let's talk again.
Raising expectation will hurt us. Build confidence slowly.

not sure how you mean total embarrassment to the club if the was an embarrassment its with the supporters that didn't turn up today as they had given up as Wigan was the opponents, while I still hold a season ticket I will still go to every home game come what may good with the very bad performances, I only wish I went to the Hull away game to see that win

| Watched Hull against Les cats yesterday and their forwards got on top of les Cats. They also had Houghton missing.
I fear they will be too big and strong for us upfront so I don't see a win next week.

| I'd also add MCs message earlier in the season.
4,000 paying full price is better than 8,000 when most are on freebies.

| Shouldn't even be talking about the 8.
Can we survive? Barring any last minute reprieve for Bradford, it certainly appears so; the highest aspiration we should have is to finish the season with some momentum, hang on to the spine of the team for next year, and for once have a proper off-season, instead of a total rebuild.

| One game and one week at a time. Tim Smith has come back and it's clicked again although it helps with players like Tautai and Moore with the grunt up front!

| We are only 5 points off 8th and IF (and I know it's a BIG IF), we beat the 3 clubs that are just above us, at home, then it is possible.
I know that the euphoria of beating the Mighty Wigan will subside but, it is possible, albeit unlikely.
Widnes are on the slide and both Hull clubs are inconsistent.
Without being reckless, we should aim for the highest possible finish.
"if you aim for the stars.............." etc
