To me, that epitomises our problems. We regularly turn in poor performances, but as long as there is a temporary response the week after, for many all is forgiven again until the next shocker. We need to start playing close to our potential most weeks and not be happy until that happens, not sit and watch dross and think that as long as we turn up next week to show that they're all sorry 'that'll do'. That seems to be a good chunk of the players' approach.

Please don't think I'm that easily pleased and bought off. Perhaps I should have reworded it that the second half effort against Leeds definitely won't do. For all Wigan's woes I think its a bit optimistic or arrogant to assume that a top effort will automatically beat them.

Oh, I don't think we'll beat them. What I was meaning was that 1 performance of character next time out will not do. We've seen that we can bounce back for odd games, what we need is to see performances of character most weeks, so that we aren't having to bounce back so often.

wigan have been woeful though. Snuck past a huddersfield side we beat the previous week, thrown away winning leads against rovers and widnes and dry humped by cas last Friday. Having said that, a home game against Hull is just what they need to get back on track. Long night for us I expect
