The question has to be asked WHY are the players so apparently disinterested all of a sudden? Is it the coach, has he lost the dressing room? Was it his decision to change a winning team, or send a raft of players out on loan or back to their parent clubs? Is it injuries and players are playing busted? Are their money issues behind the scences again? Have some already been tapped up for next season by other clubs so motivation has diminished? Or have they been found out and they actually are just not all that good?

Whatever it is something has happened to alter the commitment levels dramatically and whatever it is needs sorting asap as I agree we need a win from the next three games otherwise its squeaky bum time.

Hi wrencat that is a possibility? I'm baffled as to why it has suddenly changed in the last couple of weeks, is there something we don't know?

As a fan though I look on these as professional rugby players and they should have a professional attitude. Why a bunch of players would not want to put the effort in and perform against Leeds (one of the best teams in the world and local rivals) is beyond me.

As a fan who has seen the drivel of the last 2 games Im worried about how we can put the effort in over 3 games one of those Saints then look like we have in the last 2 games.

Although we played well in the 3 games prior to the KR game.
The 2nd half at London was sloppy and we allowed them to score 22 points.
The 2nd half against Saints wasn't too clever either (although they were assisted by the ref.
Then 80 mins against KR and almost a carbon copy "performance" yesterday, which is one of the worst games I can remember in almost 30 years as a Wakey fan.
The total lack of a response from the team after last week indicates one of 2 things.
Either we are just not competitive in SL (which doesn't fit at the side of the first 40 against Saints), or the coach is not having any positive effect on the team.
I have been labelled as an Agar apologist in the past and although I wasn't jumping for joy when he was appointed, I have been very supportive of the bloke over the past 2 seasons but, I'm sorry but we are no longer playing as a team and we seem to let our heads drop and raise the white flag as soon as things don't go our way.

We now have another thrashing by Leeds and a likely reverse against Cas to look forward to over the next couple of weeks.

Also, something which doesn't seem to have had a mention in yesterdays crowd, which although not shocking at just over 4000 but, there were only 1500 - 1800 Wakefield fans in attendance, which may be the most worrying aspect of the day.
Only

Nothing from the club today, no sorry from the players, no it was a disgrace from the coach, no it was unacceptable from the directors and action will be taken. Nothing from Kath Hethrington saying no stone will be left unturned to get get to the bottom of the problem. All we have had is RA saying we picked up injuries, well what a surprise when we have the worst management of a squad of players in the history of the game. Can we have some leadership please. All we had all season is excuses... oh woe is us the nasty refs don`t like us, oh woe is us this bunch of full time pro players don`t know how to gel and now we are going to get the injury card thrown at us. Leadership Leadership Leadership please from someone, anyone at the club.

Actions speak louder than words and maybe the team are working hard on the field preparing for Friday. Here's hoping anyway. I feel sure the players all feel as gutted as we do about how they performed on Sunday and while ever they don the red white and blue they will get my support as will the back room staff. Wtid

Although you may be right, where was the response from last weekend, when we were similarly embarrassed by an average Hull KR side ?

They don't get my support for simply pulling on a club jersey nor the backroom staff for wearing a jacket with a badge on it, thats madness.

Totally agree with this. Respect has to be earned. We have had teams with less ability but they got by because they had heart and a never say die attitude. Two qualities which the current team with a few exceptions appear to be sadly lacking at present.

I know it's been a dire depressing couple of weeks. I'm just ever the optimist as life's too short for depression. Was stood on the terraces Sunday listening to a 'fan' abusing Kirmo for entire first half and found it sickening.
Madness, your probably right.

Your dead right el rey last two weeks they've made our shirt a laughing stock ,if you put it on show it means something or don't bother wearing it

maybe Kath did a deal with Gary and said we'll rollover in the cup if you do the same in the league

The team performance can improve and unlike those on here there is more to life than a couple of defeats. I have seen it all before and would not swap places with either Bradford or London supporters at this time. We are now a well run club unfortunately some of you have become intoxicated with the team we have been able to put together. I have no doubt we will improve and yes we will have bad games but nothing we have not endured in the past. I would suggest that you have all made your opinions known so no need to keep reiterating your points of views under differing threads.
I also had to put up with the moron who would not take an hint that he was a voice in the wilderness despite this being pointed out on several occasions. I did notice he disappeared at half time never to appear again.

Atleast we can concentrate on the league now. I didn't expect to win Leeds but we did get a thrashing lets hope the lads can put in a performance on Friday.
