Wasn’t there a long losing streak under Wane in 2017?

At least we kept them to only one try in the second half 😉😉
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Who cares?!? Lam needs go, end of.
Lam hasn’t got the answers, he makes that blatantly obvious when he gets interviewed, always says the same thing.
And the way this is going these youngsters will find themselves out of the pro game, as Lam has sapped every ounce of confidence out of them

Adrian Lam has never been head coach over the first team before!
Eh? I think the point was you have to go back 15 years for Wigan to have lost five in a row other than the two under Lam. Or put another way during that 15 years it’s happen twice and the coach was Lam. So that must also mean it’s happened twice in the three years Lam has been in charge.

My boss asked me at work( when wigan were top with 7 out of 7 wins) what i thought about wigan winning the lot this year……. I replied that we were awful this year and was in a false position…… he said im too critical and the table never lies……. The other week he came to me and said you obviously watch this team closely as no one could predict this…….. i said , loads are predicting it on the forum coz they mostly know there stuff and are very passionate about wigan……. I said we will still be thereor there abouts come seasons end……. I still believe this , but we need to up-a gear and now

Didn't Lam's first few games as coach end in defeat - checking, lost WCC then four SL games.

Yeah but sorry for getting you down But I can see positives - thought we were staring down 60 odd points when reflecting after the Warrington match and whilst we have discussed the injuries or players out of position at least they still have the fight! Thought they hung in there especially in the 2nd half!

Clubb, Hardaker & Bateman not too far off returning (fingers crossed) so some hope on the horizon and the lads did try tonight.

We need to tie Kai Pearce Paul to a long contract - the lads class!

Before the match the odds with the bookies for a Wigan win were 1/14.

When have Wigan gone into a game with odds of 14 to 1 against winning?

The bookies aren’t daft and this shows what they think of the Wigan squad and coach.

It’s about time the penny dropped with IL something needs to be done and quick.
