I have been a 'Lam in' supporter since his reign began but I think I'm edging on the 'Lam out' now. This side is not improving at all. We are up at the top by scraping wins against the sides down at the bottom of the league and it just seems like he can't roust the players up for games. We have a devastating back line and halves and not one of them plays to their strengths. I told you I saw George Burgess sat there in pre season boozing and puffing away on fags and it's clear he can't be bothered to do what he is paid to do. He has all the talent in the world but that's no use if you have no application to go with it. Either get fit and do what you are paid to do of pi$$ off somewhere else. He would do well to get a game at St Pats. Pathetic application so far

Interesting take on it. My initial reaction is to blame Lam for instructing us to play negatively, but it has plagued us for years. Perhaps it is a player thing?

Handful at best I would say. Our pack gets beaten most weeks.

Yep! I maintained last season I’d seen enough to maintain confidence in him and I still think he’s the right man for the job. This is a typical Wigan fan reaction to a poor performance. There was none of this a couple of weeks ago when we hammered Huddersfield.
It’s early days this season and tonight was awful, Havard aside.
Our two main centres (Gildart & Hardaker) didn’t start and our replacement centre (Bibby) went off after 20 minutes. We were also missing Flower, Partington, Lockers and Clubb.
Salford didn’t open up our defence to score. Evalds try came from a terrible Powell error and a missed one on one tackle by Smith.
Bad day at the office, we’ll be there or there abouts but I’m certainly not gonna try to defend that performance, it’s was shocking!

Lam was out coached by Watson as he was in the playoffs.

Watson has got his bargain basement players playing as a team. He lost his best player to us in the off season and his side still looked more of a team than ours.

Our team with its marquee signings and that back line was playing one man rugby up the middle and Lam did NOTHING to change it for the entire 40 minutes of the second half. He clearly had no tactical change to make nor instructions to send on to change how we were attacking to test Salford’s defence.

I think he’s relying on individual bits of skill from the likes of French to pull games like that off. It worked last week against HKR but most times I doubt it will.

Im wondering could the virus of affected the players concentration? It is mine, im thinking about it an awful lot. Dont under estimate the effects of what is happening at the moment.

Everybody just seems to want to get done what they have to and get home and lock themselves out of the way, Is it possible that Salford were just a bit more focused on the job in hand?

No.

I think there could be an element of truth to this,both games weren’t great spectacles where they this week,but funnily enough I thought it was Salford the affected by the blight of weird passing not Wigan.

But that said Lam was yet again out smarted by Watson I do hope he’s given the chance at Wigan I like the rugby his aides set out to play.

Spot on, but with some, it always blame the Coach.

If it affected our players, it also affected Salford's. It's no excuse.
