Well I can’t say I’m any happier 3 days on, that performance for me was the most unforgivable in the 30 years of supporting. Worse than London away, worse than anything I’ve seen and I’ve seen some horrendous efforts.

What gets me more than anything is I think that Cas team expected to lose. They were there for the taking and this lot couldn’t see it and if they did even worse they couldn’t do it.

Utterly unforgivable and it will take a long time for a lot of fans to forgive, some never will - we lost potential fans and existing fans on Thursday.

Still life moves on and although we will get hammered today, be honest this team generally lacks the guts of nearly all previous teams, even a 100 - 0 won’t feel as bad as against Cas.

I don’t think it will be 100 - 0 though I wouldn’t bet on it but it won’t be a win.

Whatever the result let’s hope we at least see some improvement and we rebuild from there.

I’ve never had a tantrum like this one before, normally 24 hours and I’m over it. No way would I give up, I bought a ST and the club is welcome to it no issue there. But at present I’m not convinced I want to watch them again. I don’t think I have it in me to shout them on and I don’t want to be a terrace moaner.

Think I might give it a rest for the next few weeks and that includes the forum which will please some I’m sure.

Will watch the Academy still, if this club has a future that is where it lays.

See you all in a month or so and finally good luck to those first teamers who still care, you’ve got your work cut out.

This happens every time we lose to Cas. Big uproar on the forum cos it means so much to people.

For me I'm disappointed but it doesn't mean they are all gutless. It's one game that will be forgotten if we get some other wins and/or beat Cas away.

Move on is my call.

To coin the 80's hit, the only way is up !
Yes, it was awful, yes, we were favourites (although only just) and yes it was Cas (again).
We have to move on, starting today. However, anything like a close result v Wigan on their own patch would be one hell of a return.
We go there with a weakened side, partly through injuries and partly through selection and it appears that we have written this one off, hoping that
we have some fresh bodies for KR away and Huddersfield at home, neither of which is an easy game.

It's one that cant be easily forgotten but, time to move on.

To be honest, I wouldn't completely rule out us beating Wigan today, it's just like us to come away with 2 points from a game that we believe we have no chance of winning.

If you really can't let it go, perhaps you should watch Frozen instead?

I half expected it, not quite in that manner, and for us to be so bad, but that's my mentality of watching us since the mid '80's as a kid. Just lower all expectations then the disappointments are more bearable. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if we did pull it off this afternoon.......then again if we lost 44-6 then that wouldn't really surprise me either! Maybe we were spoilt the way we played at Wire, maybe because we have generally been so poor the last couple of seasons, maybe those performances weren't that great anyway in reality, who knows?! I think it's quite difficult so far to work out where we are in terms of progress under Willie, don't get me wrong, we were bad, but it's nothing new is it?! Just keep the faith, i'm sure there are some good wins still left to celebrate come the end of the season.....

I love an optimist! I'm more of a realist and foresee a good hiding I'm afraid! - but I'll be the first to eat my words if the unforeseeable occurs. 40-8 to Wigan I reckon.

Can not make it today but hopefully will be going to HKR not expecting to win today or Saturday but going because we are playing better football .If you think how much ball Cas had in first half through how many penalty we have away we did ok first half .Think this is the problem at present .At the beginning of the season's our penalty count and mistakes were less than they are at present .Shows how discipline is so important sorry to say it is some thing we lack at present Vastman do not give up watching first team you are like me Wakefield though and though

As a Wakey fan obviously over the years we’ve lost more than what we have won so that’s a given, it’s never been about the loss, just the manner in which we lose. Against Wigan the game got away from us but the effort was 100% there, couldn’t ask for much more. Against Cas, the Mcshane try summarised the performance for me. If we go to Wigan and give a good account of ourselves and build some confidence in both attack and defence then great. Genuinely wouldn’t suprise me if we did win. It’s Wakey after all.

The culture the club has to change going forwards that’s plain for all to see if we are ever to compete regularly with the supposed big boys ,and I’m hoping Poaching is the instigator of this shift . We’ve only to look a few miles up the M1 to see how easy it is for a club to fall from grace ( much to the amusement of all and sundry) may I add . We’ve always been if the mindset that both on and off the field that we are some kind of anomaly ,in that we can give the top teams a thumping but just as easily get thumped by the perceived bottom clubs ,we can’t seem to hold that middle ground for very long.The Harry Houdini’s of super league if you want ,always courting disaster and one game or so away from the unthinkable. How this changes on the field I’m hoping poaching and the team can instil pride and passion ,which does raise its head on occasions back into the players this season with a mid table finish .Off field looks to be running a lot smoother than on field at present , but my worry is we’re going to eventually have a stadium fit for purpose with a team that isn’t . I’m hoping this is just a blip along with the dozens of other blips we’ve had along the years and get back on the horse today ,and if not a win at least put some effort in and pride back into the club .

Tbf it’s the first time I’ve ever agreed with you, I know some diehard fans who have just said F it I’m going to the caravan or going out for Sunday lunch and a pint, but this has been rumbling on for a years now it’s not going enough

After a game against Cas, I usually feel disappointed or embarrassed, but this time I actually felt angry. We had been playing better than them and I truly felt we could end the hoodoo. Then they just didn't turn up and compete. It was difficult to take. The anger is subsiding but not completely gone. Today is a free hit in that we are expected to lose convincingly, so there is no pressure.

On a more positive note, WP has a win record as head coach of over 50% so far (8/15, 9/16 including cup games) which is definitely decent for a club with such a small budget. It's a long season, there will be more ups and downs, but that's sport.

LOL

Wasn’t going to post again so sorry immediate apology but just couldn’t let this one go.

I know you’re being positive but PT that is one naff statement that so misses the target.

Of course this always happens when we lose to Cas because we always do and the performances continually get worse and worse until Thursday was the RL version of Fawlty Towers.
