Reality Check!

Ok time for us to face Facts!,
1. All i seem to read on these boards at the mo is people whining on about the refs and how poor Wigan never get a break etc etc, Silverwood had one of his poorer games today but he was poor both ways. Wigan are persistant offenders of the offside cos they are LAZY!!!! not cos the ref has it in for them!.
2. This team is not going to win anything until we get someone with PACE in the starting line up!. when that young 18yr stains lad broke our line he made the team look like they were going backwards!. We need 1 or 2 players with genuine pace and a step!, Calderwood looks like hes walking off a hangover never beats the first marks, chases down well in defence but needs to be 100% better in attack. you look at leeds Burrow, Webb, Donald, Mcguire, Smith all capable of scoring full length. How many players honestly do you think on the wigan books can score a self made try from our own 20?
3. Time to turf out Feilden. Dont get me wrong he is not playing badly but he isn't worth half of that £450,000, he is DV in disguise. We can not afford to have him "finding his form" forever im sorry this is a proffesional sport not a charity!. For his wage we could prob get 2-3 quality players on the books. Colbon makes twice the progress and offloads and he is going into contact with the same tacklers!.
4. Install co2 alarms in the dressing rooms because every time Wigan come out at the moment they look like fat people running for a bus they will never catch. The team is LAZY. If you have players who cant get up for the stains game then they shouldn't be pulling on a Wigan shirt lulu and feka were pretty much the only players who looked like he cared about winning or loosing.
5. Mathers?, After seeing those try saving tackles from richards im starting to wander if maybe there is anywhere else we could play him. I rate him highly but he doesn't seem as good a full back as pat, 1 on 1 pat always gets his man. Could he fill in a center spot maybe???.
6. Feka, needs to be used to full effect. Feka draws 3-4 players he needs to work on offloads. He very rarely gets the offload away, this is something i would have him work off in training. Its pointless drawing in 4 defenders if your just gonna take the tackle
We need desire in the badge, i thought this year was going to be different but it seems like we are gonna get the same lazy wigan we have had for the last few years the light at the end of the tunnel is dimming substantially.
