Saying “we’re going to do better” and actually doing something about it are completely different.

And keeping saying it without action becomes ridiculous.

Agree, an eye-catching signing didn't work last season and it won't work this season, change of direction is needed.

Why would we be?
Last two results previously were 19-0 and 20-18 to Wire ... don't be so negative.
Negativity & moaning & moaning has gripped this forum.
It's like a dripping tap ... no use to anyone.


Did you watch Saints and Wigan in the play-offs? Like it or not those are the games that matter and they both moved up several gears whilst we were in freefall ..... again.

I watched and enjoyed Saints v Wigan. Very impressed with defence of both teams. It didn't make me explode with repetitive negativity to Wire though. Got some funny folk "supporting" us.

Do you not feel frustration when we lose, especially big games? Do you not get a feeling of jealousy when you see other teams winning a prize that you want? Do you not feel frustration when the same message is repeated at least two years on the run as to why we haven't won said prize?

If not, i envy you, honestly. Watching any game and being happy at the end of it must be great. I'm in the pot of supporters who want this team to win everything and feel aggrieved when previous observations made by those in charge are not acted on. It hurts when we lose and we don't play to our full potential, but arguably it will feel better for me when we win big games, as I'm feeling the highs and the lows as opposed to just milling along in the middle, happy regardless.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

The club has a mentality problem, which includes plenty of the fans.

I think this "three cheers for the gallant losers " is bred into the club psyche. Over many years of watching the Wire i have learned to have not so great expectations & to me any silverware is a bonus , but for as bad as we can be we can always be counted on to cause an upset to our nearest & dearest. Watching Warrington is more a roller coaster ride than knowing you are going to walk off with the trophies at the end of the season & standing on the terraces is often a labour of love. What amazes me is that some clubs can bring in a fresh coach or change half the team & still win everything whereas we at Warrington seem to have a knack of turning the promises of success into nothing more than fresh air.

Yours in anticipation & not so great expectation.

Yep ... it hurts me as well but it doesn't make me want to moan & groan.
I have spent a life involved in sport (rugby & cricket) and you can't be Mr Angry every time you lose. Over time, if your favoured club wins 60% of games you have been fortunate. There are many things I would do differently at Wire but I have sympathy for those at the sharp end who make decisions.

I would have sympathy too if they made decisions! Saying pretty much the same speech without any action 2 years on the run is embarrassing, especially the part about our poor attack.

I agree we do OK and this season we even had a spell for a month or so where I really enjoy watching us again, but it soon dwindled and predictably our coach took a negative approach to reversing our fortunes instead of trusting what had been working so well, it then turned in to a crisis of confidence in our attack again. We aren't even falling at the same hurdle now, we are falling on the earlier hurdles despite this speech last season, which promised improvement.

I should read into that speech that we have 10 games to turn it round and if it doesn't then a change will be made but I just feel another copy and paste job will come at the end of next season too. Price is wasting the squad which has been assembled.
