It's not a matter of being criticized for not doing something its what they've already done. Just been reading about a discussion between Paul Sculthorpe and Kevin Brown and both said Wakefield are already gone. They can't do anything it's too late.

Your first instincts are always to defend the club, the decisions they make etc. That's not a criticism of you at all, it's just you, i'm not saying you haven't criticised and disagreed, but generally you don't. I do get you, that if we hadn't done anything at all to at least try and make things better, then some would have been up in arms, we all know some just moan and complain at everything, and if we had won every game 100-0 they would have no doubt found fault!

But I guess because we are in such a desperate situation, then so far these are desperate measures, so like you were criticising others' for using terms like sticking plasters etc.....that's exactly what they are!! I suppose your argument would be, and maybe the club's, is loan signings don't cost anything do they? So nothing ventured nothing gained, if we haven't improved things, then we were no good to begin with, and it's cost us nothing so at least we tried?! Where as, sacking the coach, does cost the club financially?!

You mention the Mason signing, basically saying we were short on props, yet we loan Butler out and bring him in?! The Dagger/Hall thing, the club giving players' time off when maybe better spent trying to improve things by spending time on the training field? You can see why people get fed up, p****d off etc, because at times it comes across that we just lose the plot half the time......

I'd also say, my frustration with some posts is the implication that the club don't know or care about the issues.

I bet if you look at pictures of Mash when he took the job to his interviews now he's aged. It's a stressful job even when you are winning.
Same with the board. I'm pretty sure they are working their behinds off to make things better, but the opportunities to do so are limited.
I don't see the point in beating them up about it.

Nowt to do with Applegarth the kids a tryer he thought he'd 2 or 3 aussies mingled with what we had could have done something we've been spoilt by lads like solomona Sam obst korkidas semi not big names but good players you can't educate pork and our aussies are here for the brass as much a surprise to mark as us but hey what do you do

Hope the link works…

Because we are we all dont want it but we are we average 5pts a game how can we survive, maybe blood youth but then again wed rather play lower leagues rejects than our own

Proctor does not look fit and should have been working his ass off to get fitter during the break along with Atoni..:

Well clearly all signings are made with the best intentions! But you have to have accountability in all aspects of life. As re. Applegarth, i'm sure lots of people on minimum wage just trying to survive would gladly swap with him on his salary, for being involved in a sport he loves, it would be an unobtainable dream for most to be either a player or coach in professional sport. If it's too much he is allowed to walk away and give someone else a go? We are now on a hiding to nothing, it's obviously very long odds that we will get out of this now, and you are right going on and repeating the same stuff about they shouldn't have signed Proctor etc is pointless.....but, he and Atoni don't have to be selected by the coach? He was quick to ditch Lineham after 2 games, and he hasn't been seen since. I don't know whether 17 games left is a good or bad thing?! We simply have to beat Hull, then win ALL of those home games in June at least, and that is a massive longshot, but I suppose human nature is still telling me we have a teeny weeny chance of getting out of this.....

Well you were saying he was stressed and he's aged etc, probably the majority of working people are stressed because of the economic climate right now. But the majority of those I wager aren't doing a job they love, he's in a privileged position, so was your point we should feel sorry for him? If it was, I wouldn't feel any more sympathy for him, than for anyone else who feels they are 'stressed' at work?! That was my point

I guess that's Hull FC out of the mix.

Looking like it at the moment but a long way to go and other clubs could be sucked back into the fight.
