What’s new. We’ve consistently taken a battering on penalties, 6 agains and come a cropper of the ball steal more than any other team in SL this season. I’m not surprised we got hammered in discipline again.

You are obviously new to supporting Wakefield under the Chester era because if you weren’t then you would know the stupidity of the above post. I actually consider the score quite positive but sadly it is still another defeat.
I look forward to the usual Chester press conference, plenty of effort etc.

Not disagreeing and presumably hold the same opinion but I am interested to see what others actually want to hear from Chester in the post match interviews. In depth information of what goes on behind the scenes, some aggression/passion or simply “I quit?

25% win rate this season, 26.31% last season, 9 wins out of the last 37, in a results based business I would love to see this long term plan of the clubs, purely on the basis we are so keen to keep hold of Chester.

Bookies had it spot on +20
Amazing.

I`m passed caring with the interviews tbh, regardless of what is said it makes no difference does it? We turn up week after week with the same issues and that shows in the results I post above.

Agree mate, times up IMO but clearly MC doesn’t want the same.

If it were me I’d be throwing it way back to 2002 to replicate the McNally/Vowles set up, maybe you and Luppy could pair up to fill the spot

The club doesn't have a long term plan.
Week by week and bobble along.

We live in hope.

I have only Twitter to base my opinions but 20 points is positive and I'm pleased they gave it a go rather than roll over like some wanted.

Well keeping him isnt based on results or entertainment reasons.ive said it before watch the crowds seriously dwindle with him in charge again next season alot have had enough.thats even if we manage to stay up as its no certainty yet leigh will improve

Really ? You actually think anyone on here genuinely takes pleasure in the club getting hammered week in week out ?

God help us if this is our level of expectation, Yes Catalan are a good side, yes they are on form but I would never in a million years take a 20 point defeat as a positive, we wouldn`t have taken it as a positive 3 years ago when we were beating them.

Conceding 40 points is never a positive, but it seems there was some effort, as there has been all season. We just can't seem to take that next step when we're in a game, and quickly find ourselves out of it moments later.

Is this the under 15s playing against open age or something? Your making it sound like this isn`t a group of professionals on a level playing field with every team in the league, this is there job and they earn good money for it and fans pay good money to watch them, you can argue about the salary cap, that's maybe a few more quality players but seriously? Pleased we gave it a go?

I certainly don’t want to see us fail if anything that mantle belongs to the club by looking to extend Chester’s contract despite season after season of the same. I think that those who see his shortcomings are the ones wanting the best because we have tried the alternative without success.

Poptart makes these claims all the time, the other day he said anyone who was talking about not renewing there season ticket probably never had one to begin with. Bizarrely, he can`t see that a lot on here just want the best for the club, which in my opinion is not giving a coach that is quite obviously failing and failing badly a new 3 year deal.

Do you really think of fans of the club want to see the club lose are that sad

Erm no I have been watching since the 60s as usual you make an assumption. I agree with you though that on the whole the scoreline was better than expected. After all some on here wanted to through the game for 24-0 and your post about the number of players was again an assumption and a usual dig at anything you can surrounding the team

Well I ve been either a season ticket or family season ticket holder since 1979 and gave the club my money last year didn’t buy a ticket this year, normally buy at least one for my kids to use either.

Club has lost its way, it’s a business not a kindergarten, charity or school where to participate is to be a winner .

Over the years have seen some crap interspersed with games of sheer magic , never once have I lost faith in the clubs future. But now don’t see just how we are going to do anything but slowly turn into a Batley or fev.

Positives about losing every week wheres there positives.no fan wanted them to roll over but no matter how you look at it its another loss and think fans like yourself wont be happy till where playing championship rugby

I’d accept the latter right now, Fev would give a few SL clubs a run for their money (including ourselves)

Must just be me but conceding 40 points never constitutes an acceptable result. Spirited yes, effort definitely but that is the bare minimum we should get every game. That team today only had probably 4 out of the first choice 17 missing (for me Kay pips Kershaw and Walker over Josh Wood) which is the same as Catalans. I’d like our expectations to be better than that result today. Still the club and some of the fans seem happy so things must be rosey.

Why is mine a claim and your an opinion?
I haven't ever said that Chester should get a 3 year contract
I haven't seen anyone on here actually claim to be not renewing their own season ticket
As for the 'a lot of people' you speak of..... They and you want what they think is best for the club..... I just don't always agree with your opinion about what is best for the club.

I was actually being sarcastic but I admire your loyalty to a failing coach. We lost by twenty but just how much did this impact our win percentage.
It is clear we went with the minimum number of players and staff so in fact if the game had not gone ahead we would have a point difference which is worse by 4 points. We would have however avoided the risk of further injuries and also save the club transportation costs which looking at the above was a factor for the club and our percentage would be the same.
With regards the players it was Chester who said that the two missing did not have a great impact on the team and that he was going with a squad of 17.
I will give you an opportunity to enlighten us as to why you think retaining Chester is good for our future because I have not seen many on here except PT jumping to his defence.
