| Quote: PopTart "For me. I say I'm a supporter, so I'm supporting the club as best I can.
Right now the coaches, players and management are having serious trouble navigating this season. So are some other clubs. So are many people around the country.
In just the same way that we talk about trying to help local businesses when it would be easier to get a delivery, I see it that this is the time to support the club and all parts of it.
Calling for heads and criticising players when they have so much more on their plate is just not supporting the club in my view. It's adding to the stress.
The objective of the season is to get through in tact. Nothing else. If we lose every game and come bottom but still survive financially then its a win for me.
My enjoyment comes from seeing players turn out for Wakefield under severe pressure and do their best. Sometimes their best isn't good enough to win. Sometimes we get a beating. It's just the way it is this season.
There is no doubt in my mind that if Brough wasn't injured/or too old we'd be doing better. But he isn't and it isn't going to be changed this season through no one's fault. Same applies to Fifita.
I'll enjoy watching the games. I'll be disappointed if we don't win but I'll understand why not and move on to the next game.'"
I'm right beside you on all counts there PT. Excellent post.

That's a very subjective way to choose a player, especially using the word quality.
Wouldn't be able to think of many quality moments since lockdown. Tom Johnstone, Westerman and Tanginoa have produced the odd glimpse.

Kind of my point when I said any quality, glimpses really! We have looked pretty useless as a collective.

But there is a difference between supporting the club and just completely ignoring the warning signs of failure that is coming our way if we continue the way that we are.... Can you not support a club whilst not supporting the leadership/direction of the club?
For instance if it was public knowledge the mess Glover was making of our club during his tenure would you continue to just support blindly and regardless of the obvious outcomes? Or would you potentially raise your concerns and not follow like a flock of sheep as Mopsey would put it.

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!
I thought that it was Nero that fiddled whilst Rome burned. Seems that you and PT were sat there with him, Wollo.

Kinda proves the point. This story was just made up because people didn't like Nero.
Sounds like the same happened with Chester and the story in the Star.
But yes should be proud of yourself. You have such a great insight into the club and the problems we have.

I'm very proud of myself, thank you,PT for being able to state what I believe in. I'm also proud of the fact that I've watched my team for 64 years through thick and thin ( a Hell of a lot more thin than thick). I have no greater insight into the Club than I reckon you have, but I'm not so daft that I can't see where this once great club is heading rather than bury my head in the sand and believe that the good fairy is going to come along and all will be well down at BV. I'm fully aware of the problems that the club have thank you, but if everything was left to the likes of you and Wollo I doubt whether we will have a club to follow after my 65th year of being a supporter.
There's an old saying that my dear old granny used to say to me; "There's none so blind as them that will not see""

Your granny sounds like a wise lady. As you say, I only see what you see, we are just drawing different conclusions.
Anyway. There's a game on. Catch you later.

Not sure how old your dear old granny was when she shared this but it's a quote from the bible

You really are snide, you must be spitting bitter feathers after last night.
I’ve been Chester out for a bit but I was delighted for him last night and I’ll be even more delighted if he proves us all wrong. Will you? I doubt it.
PT and Wollo have stuck with it, sometimes I’ve found their optimism a bit surreal but they are entitled to their beliefs without being branded as blind monkey’s.
I for one sincerely hope they are right because I support the club first and my own opinions second. Whether they are only time will tell but I’m definitely on their side as I’d hate to be right on this one.
Yesterday was a start, I’m thankful for that, it was a pleasant change.
