3 nillings on the bounce. Time to go Applegarth.

Hasn’t happened for 119 years or since 1904

No you are wrong and I have said it on the other thread, there is no coach on this planet who could get a team to score points with Gaskell as the only NO6. That is not down to mash

He picks the team and chooses not to try Morgan Smith in that position m.

Did he not start the 2nd half in that postion

Can't have the same half combo next week. This is beyond a joke.

There are 13 players on the pitch in a game,do you really think one man playing at stand off is the cause of been nilled 3 times in a row, we have no pace, no flair, no idea, no nothing by the look of things.

So who then?

and he gave him 40 mins, still the same. we are a championship quality squad, nothing more. mash has not built this squad he has just been given it.

How long has he been employed by the club in a coaching capacity?

Just poor quality throughout the backs ! Not good enough full stop …. Losing Jowitt was the final straw .. the only player we have now with speed and a good attacking pass …

No amount of effort makes up for lack of quality. Anyone know the way to Swinton ?

He did. He was no better than Gaskell.

I'd say losing Jowitt and Murphy. They're about the only two X-factor players we have.

And how many points did we score

I've just listened to the post match interview and Applegarth shows absolutely no understanding of the position the club is in, or, more importantly, how to get out of it.

Least alot will be happy that gaskell going to be out for a few weeks

Ive seen more attacking flair in the amateur game absolute disgrace. Just don't know where we go from here.

The Coach got the players he asked for from Mr Carter .He had been on the first team coaching staff all last year .If he could not see after Miller left that a class stand of was too of the list. W Poaching had to work with a squad he was given .Think questions should be asked about who were the players who complained about his coaching ,because it is now clear to everyone one who went tonight what a bad call it was to get rid .We left with 30 seconds on the clock ,but Wakefield fans were leaving way before that ,and a lot were saying it is the worse attacking back 7 they had seen ,And some of them had watched as long as I have .Our attack is not up to the top half teams in the champions. The team is just a set of old players who faid in the second half

Well it was 0-0 with Gaskell and 26-0 with Smith...



Seriously though i'm not convinced either is a super league standard halfback but Smith now has his chance to prove himself in that position. And God knows we need him to.

Something has to give and quickly, we are dire and not scoring a single point in 3 games is humiliating.

Poching ultimately had better players to work with, as did Chester, and for large parts of the last 5 years we were poor. This squad isn't a patch on last seasons so it's no wonder we are struggling. We have no game breakers (other than Jowitt, Murphy and Tanginoa). The rest are just work horses at best. Pitts and Ashurts are the least dynamic back rowers in the competition. Lino only seems to spark when there is about 10 minutes left and then its often headless chicken time. Gaskell may as well not bother for all the impact he has on a game. Not seen enough of Smith in the halves to fully comment but there is a reason why he was in the championship and not SL.

Can't wait can you to stick the boot in....
Yes he has in a different coaching role FFS.

And now he's head coach and completely failing at it.

Where does all these theories about crap team and poor coach work when you see one of the top coaches in our game and a club bristling with big name signing go down by 60 at Salford , what’s hulls problem or excuse ? . Isn’t working for them throwing the money about is it .Puts our quandary in perspective really
