I'm not right into bashing previous teams especially the job that Kear did etc but can't agree with you here at all. I remember some absolutely awful performances under Kear, easily as bad as the last couple. Leaving that 2011 season to one side, in 2010 we were terrible at times and took some right hammerings.

Agreed 2010 was the worst for me. Only time i have happily missed games!

Not one for changing the coach mid season and as far as the league position goes, we are not far off where i would have expected us to be at the start of the season, but......

The manner of our defeats is what is causing me concern. The 2nd half at HKR was terrible, no fight, commitment and what looked like a total lack of interest. I was hoping for some kind of response on Saturday and got absolutely nothing. From minute 1 Cas just wanted it more. Again we didnt look that interested.
We have not improved defensively in the last 18 months. That is a serious worry. We do not work hard enough in defence. Too many people having too many breathers. Basic things like not moving up on the blind, missing too many 1 on 1's, communication, general stuff that should just be the norm. It needs sorting and after 18 month of trying i am not sure RA can do that.

Wigan are Wigan, we dont expect anything from that game (wouldnt it be like Wakey to do something?). The decider for me, could be the Salford game the week after. Lose that live on Sky and i think there would be an impact on the future attendance figures (actual people in the ground!). Which, lets be honest is the only way anyone is going to take notice.

Like most Im expecting a Geoff Boycott score against us by Wigan but cant see us getting anything from the Salford game to be honest.If we come away from Salford with nothing I fear the fans will stay well away against London.

Salford away will be a trip for the diehards.
We are expecting this game to be on the back of a 4 match losing streak AND its on Sky AND its on a Monday evening, in Manchester.

Anyone going ?

Hopefully the team will turn up.

Hopefully the team will consist of 17 players who will play with enthusiasm, pride and passion.

Exactly what I think

Nothing under Kear was EVER close to how bad we have been under Agar at times, especially the last 2 performances

PLEASE!!!! VIVE LA FRANCE!!

Maybe he was too busy picking his French team and lost focas on ours!

Wow. The game was disappointing and the same arguments were being said last year about getting rid etc. Wakefield fans on this forum really are passionate about their club, but this has a tendancy of coming across as being really overreactive and everyone seems to stoke each others fire on any given subject. how will next season be any better? Wholesale changes are not the answer. The team can't do anything if people keep dropping the ball and giving repeat sets. The forwards work hard but obviously get knackered when having to keep tackling rather than attacking. Tim smith has no help now sykes is out, in organising every set, and even then sykes is supposedly quiet. We need 2 wingers who are rock solid under the kick, I'd rather us not give away 4 tries a game than be able to get quick sets if that makes sense? we need a leader of men, a voice who inspires which I'm guessing poore was meant to be and a stand off if sykes is not staying.

I am and always will be a massive fan of John and what he did at our club, We should have never let kear go in the first place

Had that prat Richardson being shown the door sooner then JK would be still our coach IMO
I would love to see what John would so with this set of players!

All that said JK isn't our coach any more and Richard Agar is, I am sure he'll get the team turned around, the season isn't over yet

I agree with LDS

JKs last season, he was in charge of a team of under 21s patched up with national league players
JK is without doubt the best coach we've had in the SL era

Any team would be lucky to have him at the helm

The people on here that bagged him during his last season are total idiots
