Mark Applegarth is in a position where if he resigns he will have no income.He was given the job and has given it his best shot, but under him we are a complete shambles.Time for the management,whoever they are,to put the lad out of his misery.

You would think MC would do the decent thing and sack him but like he did for Chester pay him off out of his own pocket. I doubt it would be anywhere near the same amount of money.

There is literally nothing left for the season, apart from the "social" as a ao called SL side, we're completely done.
RIP Trinity.

Slugs, Sloth, whichever. A team filled with dross and seemingly coached to underperform.
Never seen such useless lumps in a Wakey shirt at this level.
Lineham and Taufua, pathetic.
Hood a shambles. Battye past sell by date. Ashurst looks a sad figure. Crowther way out of form, Hewitt, what’s the point, Etc etc etc
An unfit DF looked light years ahead with enthusiasm alone. Created a platform to work from which transformed into implosion. Bloody awful spectacle.

He keeps saying in interviews that the players aren't listening to him.

Is he under the impression that somehow makes him look less inept?

I'm actually a fairly decent coach, it's just that the payers don't listen to me or do any of the things I tell them to do.

That's a shocking admission.

So I'm not a coach, but what does he say on Monday to make these players better?

Hey Tom. I've hadca thought. When you are over the line. Maybe try and put the ball down without letting go?
Hey Hoodie, when you have a 4 on 3 on your left, andvthey are short a player, how about we practise passing that way instead of where we are over matched?

Max, you think it's worth running in a straight line instead of running across so you close all the space fir the players outside.

Apart from Fifita and Pitts, I'm not sure who I could say had even an average game.
Dagger I thought was OK but he needed to run more to use his skills.

He could tell some to go home or retire. Or even tell them they are crap and won’t be playing again. Maybe honesty and realism would be a start.

You like to ask questions so can you tell me in what way he has improved our performances this season that would suggest he deserves longer.

I didn't say he does deserve longer.
I said the job of a rebuild is different to a job to improve this team.

I remember when he got the job and you and vasty pants and chissitt or whatever 95 names he's under these days we're waxing lyrical, mash this mash that as though you knew him, pure sickly. You backed a bloke with no experience whatsoever basically chucked under a bus by the messiah. If something isn't working change it. Oh and if a club or team are not going forwards there's only one direction they are going. Time to stop the mc and mash grovelling and face it they don't care about our club and have now completely ruined it.

Applegarth should be sacked now as he doesn’t have the team playing for him. They look a shambles that look as though they haven’t been coached.
A complete and utter embarrassment…. icon_surprised.gifops:

I fear that he won’t be though until the end of the season when the team is relegated as the worst ever SL side and the club ownership is resolved.

Sacking him would cost the current ownership more money and that’s what it’s all about not the welfare of the club or the fans.

Danny Brough made some good points that your 9 should be looking at the defensive line and seeing where the numbers are and give the ball to where there’s a man over. If not then one of the pivots should at least be seeing it and be shouting ‘boss ball’ and if the ball doesn’t come that side then ‘strong feedback’ is given….. lack of leadership and direction ball just goes wherever Lino is….

Meanwhile it's groundhog day and the damage being done to the club is becoming so bad it will take years to recover if ever.'"

You ain't a clue about coaching cock first of all you need players capable and this lot if you know about rugby players at different levels we ain't got em thiko

I can tell you right now that is not true.
If you care to go back I was very much a supporter of Poching, and my first post was that it was a ridiculous appointment.

I have warmed to him when hearing him speak but ultimately he's judged on results and the team have let him down.

However I don't agree that they don't care about the club. They clearly do.

As with most things in life, you get what you pay for.

Mark was the cheap option to replace the previous cheap option in Willie. The club have not invested in a support team to help him, either.
