Cullen is a loony tunes character

The better folk "come across" it usually means they speak more bow locks, littlerich my friend. Aka The Apprentice!

Tony Fax you should really consider changing your name to T[io[/isser Fax it has such a better ring to it.


Anyway The Cullster was in top form as usual this evening.

Cullen talks it but simply is a poor coach and why he has achieved virtually nothing as a coach. With the players he has had at his disposal both at Wire and Widnes he has done poorly! Just because he is your coach does not mean you need to think the sun shines out his backside. When on Sky he waffles a lot without getting to the point-if that is how he coaches as well no wonder your players look clueless often!

Rubbish.



Laid a great foundation at Whitehaven transforming the club and provided an easy path for Steve Mccormack

Took wire from relegation fodder to a top six side steadily over the years

Recognised the faults at Widnes and has now corrected them and we have started to show the potential we have. If we play like we did against Fev for the majority of the game then you wont know whats hit you.

Matt Calland hasnt won anything yet


Over and out.

He's lost seven matches since he's been in charge of Widnes. That's some statistic.

Your obsessed, injuries galore didnt help him, for instance the second time we played Fax i think we missed 8 players from the starting line up and still only just lost after dominating for large parts of the game. We should (touches plenty of wood) be only missing Grayshon come Sunday.


Bring it on littleb[ii[/itch!

Well done little troll-Cullen is a god to you even though he is crap. I would have Calland any day over Cullen! And he underachieved at Wire with the likes of Morley, Briers, King, Monaghan. Watch how Wire have improved 10 fold under a coach with some quality in Tony Smith. Cullen will always be coaching in the Championship as he is not good enough for SL.

We'll see, Soap on a rope Callands time will come when he shall fall.

Yet you still keep talking.

For what its worth I agree that he has put a few noses out of shape at the "chemics", and made the club smell what its been shovelling recently.

You know what you try to have a civilised conversation with people from Halifax and what do you get? abuse thats what.

Well dont come on here then and stay on your own board or do they not want you?

You keep throwing the ball, we'll keep batting it back.

The two in bold in the fev game are the only two widnes players who didn't play in either of the first two games. The other ones are loan players brought in after the event from super league teams. Who were the other six first teamers missing from the first two games?????

Thats confusing as they're not in the right order, but it's a different time now.

I'm glad you've disregarded the loan players in the team, I hope your players do the same. They've made a difference I didn't think possible this year.

Widnes will improve when we see less of their coach & influences on Sky

Really? Why's that? One coach on Sky an hour a week means he can't do his job properly. Brilliant.

You wuz obviously pist when scribbling this, Vikinglass, so I'll give it a

rather than a

!

To cut a potentially long and pointless argument extremely short ... sacked at wire, to losing at Batley. Need I say more?

Am I right? I'M NOT WRONG!!

Wrong, he's won over the hearts of the FAxFaithful, 1st coach to do that for a long time

I do like Matt as a coach but the rest is rumour!

Cullen strikes me as not being the sharpest knife in the box when he`s on the box.!
Must be good at persuading rich club owners and SKY to pay top dollar.


Probably rob his own granny!

Well, he's confident for Sunday

vikingman probably counted the 2 or 3 players who got injured last time we played. i remember fletcher going off injured after about 5 mins. can't remember the other 2. plus morrison does the job of about 8 players.

Vikingman has a point, even if you do refuse to see it.

This is the likely line up for the game on Sunday, with possible alternatives outlined. We did have Bannister and Patterson missing for our earlier games, who have come back since but, due to fitness issues, have been spelled in the reserve side. These were long term injuries, so that is understandable. Add in Morrison and our three loan players and that makes 6. Toa was injured early on in the league game and Fletcher was coming back from injury for the cup game. Some players, which played in one game, didn’t play in the other, so we haven’t seen our better players on the pitch at the same time against you yet.

Due to a catalogue of injuries we have had a very unsettled side. We seem to be getting there now, and we also will be benefiting from a proper training regime. This is definitely a much stronger team that Halifax will meet on Sunday. I’m not saying we’ll beat you but, for the first time this season, I’m very confident we could turn you over on your own ground. My only real concern is the left side defence.
