I agree. In particular Wane's lack of willingness to alter the game to fit the players he has is doing my head in.shaunedwardsfanclub wrote:
We have some good players but they are being made to look poor. We also have some guys who are not Wigan standard. We have some good young lads who need to be helped and supported by older pros. We have a coach who needs to alter/amend the way we play otherwise he needs to walk. That display was inept at best. The standard of this league is poor yet we look like relegation fodder at the moment!
I think Bowen is being totally misused in trying to play the same role as Sam Tomkins.
I think Williams is capable of a lot more off the cuff stuff and creativity than he is being allowed to show. He seems under instruction to get rid of the ball so we can the use attack out wide. I actually think he played Powell at 6 because he doesn't really need a stand off who can do anything.
And the passing skills of the team are just not good enough to play this type of game now Green has gone. How many attacking moves broke down tonight due to poor inaccurate passing? If the players can't do it (and they can't on tonight's evidence) why is he still trying it?
That second half should tell him there is something seriously wrong with the attack and the tactics need to change. A player like Hampshire or letting Williams have a bit of autonomy could do wonders.
At the moment it is all totally predictable and even Hull had us worked out.
