I'm inclined to agree. I only saw the Leeds match before leaving for the USA. Then the Wakey game. I assumed Lance was offering something that steadied the ship in that time. However 2 games on the run that I've seen live since being back and sorrry but he offers nowt. I don't mean to say he is bad, but he ain't good. I'd gladly take back Gaskell into the team now. Yes he did not have a great start but even in his poorer game he tried stuff that did not come off. Lance tried diddle until the game was gone when he did a chip over but in that position everyone was trying random stuff.
I'm also now starting to get ready to put the boot in on Shenton.
Defensively it's a pretty sound team, we had a problem in the first half with Shentons wing but it was fixed at half time. What we cannot fix at half time is our attack. It's plain woeful. Last week we sent everything through Roby. Well against a well drilled middle defense plan A does not work. Roby had a few runs but no one was with him.
Wellens gets bagged for pace, but from a scrum he was clean through and pulling away from any support only Wiganers with him.
I know Shenton has been injured and our halves are woeful at getting the ball out, but we could have kept hold of Gilmore for less probably and had as much if not more joy from him.
I'm not going to say we are terrible and have no chance, but changes are needed in the short term and long term.
Short term we need idea's at half back rather than pass over lomax's head, he jumps in the air, runs sideways a few meters and then telegraphs an inside ball. Whilst Lance just looks on doing jack.
He's a white elephant for me.
