Treat Saints as just another game

[Exiled Wiganer]

I know this won't happen, but we would be much better off on Friday ignoring the name of the team we are playing, and focusing on the players. The script over and over again has been that we consider this a massive game, get pumped up, they wind us up, we lose our discipline, get dragged down to their level and find ourselves beaten again.

I would like to see Wane win what is likely to be his final derby, as I think he deserves it, but his approach continues to play into their hands, and I suspect it will sum up his tenure as head coach - develop great players, and then fail to get the most out of them.

That is a fair summary of what happened at the DW last time.

It was obvious we wanted to smash 'em and it played into their hands.

Not convinced Wane has the tactical nouse to come up with another idea of how to beat Saints.

It is our Grand Final

[markill]

he gets it right on Good Friday every year, because he's never lost one of those. Whatever he's doing then that he isn't doing in the back end of the season needs to be figured out.

have i missed a announcement exiled?

likely Wanes last Derby?

Every game is just another game. 2 points against Saints = same against any side we beat.

If only.

McCarthy-Scarsbrook will wind up Crosby and 'Big Frank' and they will react. Don't know why Crosby, who is good enough not to get sucked in, always gets involved. Worse, it leaves holes in the defence.

He was at it again in the Catalan game last Friday.

A brawl started and he was in like a rocket to fight.

When are the officials going to do something about the idiot?

But he doesn't fight, he just acts as though he can!

I posted this elsewhere but works in this thread also


In a lot of ways Wigan fans have allowed LMS to become the "pantomime villain". Boo hiss, dislike how he antagonizes the players and fans alike but by god he succeeds on both scores up to the point the result and the way we play becomes irrelevant

Ignore the fairy and concentrate on playing well. That would "hurt" the likes of him more than anything
