| Give it one more game, please do it this week!
It's easy to complain and bemoan our position. It's easy to slate the coaches for every decision. But the strong thing to do is to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves down and get to Bradford in numbers for such a pivotal game.
Both clubs have had a poor weekend. The truth is, whilst they would both have loved a win this week, they will both have had more than eye on next week - it's all that's been talked about for weeks now.
So do we let Bradford take the high ground as the club with the better supporters, or do we turn up, in voice, and try and lift our time to one big effort which could define our season and our future?
I hated yesterday. My tweet has been published in LE, which is a little embarrassing, but that's how I felt. We were in the game at 6-0 but then fell away, although in truth we created nothing. I don't know what died we can put out next week, nor whether we continue with the selections we have seen, but they will still be wearing the badge of my home club and I for one will give them my support.
If it's Man Up time, then that has to include everyone at this club! Be there!

| I agree TRB.....
Fans wonder why there is no heart in the team....well if supporters of 20, 30, 40, 50 years are giving up so easily half way through a season where we are still very much in a position to achieve our goal then that may just rub off on the team aswell...
This squad of players and coach have had good performances and wins and are capable of more...with our backing...

You do that. I'll stick with my club.
It hurts, but that's how it is.
Whilst there's a chance, there's hope. And the chances are more in our favour than Bradford's just now.
As someone who hasn't been to a game for a month, your opinion is irrelevant!

| The thing is if you look at the fixtures ahead for Catalan and Hull KR, win the next two crucial games and we are likely to be two points from the play-offs and safe, which is mission accomplished, I suppose.

| I whole heartedly agree TRB.
I have to say, I may have dropped off some games this year but for NGB4C. For all he says things I don't agree with, he pointed out that I didn't go to Hull KR when I was challenging his opinion. So when it was a long trip to Hull, or Widnes, or a home game against Warrington that I know was going to be horrible, or even the long day at Magic I went anyway, even though sometimes I was tempted not to.
I enjoy going and enjoy seeing the team win but most of all I am supporting MY team. If they have tough days, surely that is the time to support them even more.
For me that is the difference between a fan and a supporter. A fan wants to watch a successful team, a supporter SUPPORTS THEIR TEAM in the true sence of the word and shouts louder when it's in dire straights.
I respect the rights of those that want Agar out, or those that moan at the youth development, and those that criticise the players. But if you call yourself a supporter, get down to Bradford and give something back to the team.
They need to hear and see the support.
I'll be there.

| As things stand we third bottom and are 8 points better off plus have a healthy points (for and against) advantage over both Bradford and London.
Please tell me if at the start of the season if anyone wouldn't have been happy with that?
If (and it's a big if) after the next game we are 10 points clear and only having 12 games left we aren't now favourites to stay up then I'll bare my arris in woollies window.
What's wrong with that scenario? Not the woollies window bit, but the 10 points bit.
The RFL can hand back the bulls some points, personally I can't see it but you never know, but that's out of our control.
We can capitulate against the bulls, that's more likely in my opinion and if it is the case then the club need to be addressing the situation but again as fans that is not in our hands, although MC doesn't post on here I'm certain that he still reads as do others at the club.
What can we do as supporters? We can go to Odsal and support the team in this ONE game and we can give them all the support we can muster.
We could easily turn this into a home game IF those than CAN go, DO go.
If after that supporters minds are made up one way or another then fair enough.
I can totally understand some peoples disappointment and I can justify much of it, but a lot of hard work has gone on at the club this year to get any kind of team on the field to support and a lot of sacrifice too.
It's not always apparent on the field I grant you but off the field much has been done to turn this club into one that if the plan is stuck to, we will move away from the biannual crisis club and one that can start to move forward.
The coach has got to get it right.
The players have got to show the desire and the passion that many fans show and expect from the players.
And the supporters have got to go to Odsal on Sunday.

| So TRB to your mind the views of 99.5% of Wakey population are irrelevant. Derek Turner does not go to matches at Belle Vue, would love to see him speak to players on Tuesday morning and remind them of whats expected, I suspect the response would not be irrelevant

| Reading this thread it clearly isn't 99.5%of the fans that have the same view as you
I think I can stomach yesterdays loss and even cas the week before and I am (like many) 100% behind the team, I think that the majority of "True" fans are, makes me sick hearing about how bad things are and not supporting the team/coach, if you want to go wach your team win week in and week out and have decent cup runs you can do 1 of 2 things, 1. get behind the team support them and put money in to the tills, or 2. go watch Leeds

99.5% of the Wakefield population probably don't even watch WTW, if they did things would be far better!!
Irrespective of that massive oversight everyone has a valid view, but if you stop going you stop being a supporter.
I'm fed up of the amount of ex supporters who tell me where this club is going wrong when they haven't been for donkey's years.
Derek Turner fell out of love with this club along time before Agar took over, so another pointless comment, however I would love to see someone of his ilk in there laying down the law to our coach and some of his players.
This club needs these supporters, however these supporters need this club to get this coach picking a team that shows what it means to where the red white and blue of Wakefield...otherwise we might as well all be ex supporters.

| Don't think I will be going. Everytime I go to Odsal it is a waste of time and cash. I will be there for the London game. First time as a fan that I have thought about not bothering renewing my ST.

| It's a must win game, so its a must go and support game, simple.
The game at Bradford, when JK took over, still remains one of the high spots of my rugby watching life, it was truly fantastic.
A win over there next week wont possibly match that, but in the context of our very recent history, it's almost as important and we really do need to win against Bradford, if we have to justify our position in the top flight next season.
Come on Trin !

Whilst I’ve probably only seen a few more important performances in forty years, that’s really sad.

| Didn't go to Hull and Widnes and they won without me being there.
Went to MM and game yesterday and despite my attendance they were crap.
In the interests of the team and the fact that I do not want any of my hard earned
money in the Bully Boys pocket ,I have decided to keep well away.
