I cant believe that some people are blaming lockers for the mess we are in, he is constantly one of our key performers. And is noticable by his absence.
Did we get the hair dryer treatment when he wasnt captain last year. No they all stood around under the sticks looking like deaf mutes!
They are proffesionals, they should not need someone to lead them, they should all lead by example! The only reason you need a captain, is to toss the coin and speak to the ref!
It is more to do with culture at the club, and looking at the players body language a lot of the time shows a certain amount of cant be arsed attitude.
All wakefield did was play hard and do the basics! We on the other hand did neither.
How is changing the captain going to stop coley dropping the ball, or get bailey to break a tackle (just once will do in his stay at wigan) and get goulding to pass, or instill some bottle into mathers?
Each player is responsible for his own performance and im sure at the start of the season, they have some key performance indicators that they have to achieve!
