| We won the game the game that mattered but as a paying fan I was a little disappointed with the team selection. We ain't good enough to be resting 5/6 players and expect to still be competitive. First thrashing since march/april last year.

| First thrashing of the year out of the way now - time to look at getting some players back for the Saints game. Ouwards and upwards and all that.

Your probably right.
But some of your fans have been camping on the Wakey site for month telling us you're the finest team in SL history. One of the biggest bit of bragging has been the apparent amazing strength in depth you have. So excuse me sing just a little at that excuse - even if you yourself are not one of the perpetrators of that particular myth ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif)

"finest team in SL history" - Pretty sure no-one has said that, but would you like another hyperbole with that? We shoved a few players in yesterday who haven't played a game all year, no idea why.

And yet WTW squad is biger that the Tigers.
I think the bragging (if any) Vasty might be down to the point that we have put 90+ on you over two games so far this season. Worth bragging about IMO and i'm sure your lot would do the same.

Haha do one Vasty. Love how quick you have come running on here after our first heavy loss this year.
And FYI our second team would probably still beat your shower of tripe!!

Probably would considering they are the finest team in SL, have the coach of the decade at the helm and have every position covered by 8 internationals.
Of course I came on here, I was wondering where you had all gone all of a sudden - come on all of you, accept a bit of light hearted micky taking and be a big men, we've had it from you lot all year so fairs fair. ![Thumbs up icon_thumb.gif](images/smilies//icon_thumb.gif)

| Yes I was disappointed with our play last night.But without Shenton - Webster - Clarke - Lynch what did we expect. Yes we did give our all last time out and it did come off for us, but our strength in debth may not be quiet good enough.Anyway if we do go to Wembley ( which we have more of a chance than Wigan )could all the wigan fans who bought tickets for the CC final please could either the CAS or Widnes fans have them please.We will reimburse the price paid. Thank you.

| We were gutsy in a way, but very poor in the silly penalties and unenforced dropped balls, we made. I saw 2 or 3 penalties that were penalties that were totally needless. When you are obviously going to be up against it from the start, the last thing you need to do, is piggy back the opposition up the field and cough up possession. The brilliant interception from Matty Bowen killed our last resolve, but even if we had made it 6-6, at that point, to be honest all I think it would have done is keep us battling for a bit longer, and make the final score less damaging.
Hats off to Wigan though, they came out were totally ruthless and efficient and made sure of the spoils. They also had men missing but they also have a good batch of promising youngsters that can step in at SL level adequately, or more. Which brings me to one of our concerns. Despite our good showing this year, apart from Dan Fleming when he's fit, we have not any. I have been talking to two or three people who take a very active interest in our junior set up, and they all tell me, we have not one youngster at present apart from DF, who is capable of playing in SL right now. Our under 15 batch, which will be next years under 16's have some good likely lads but between them and the first team there is nothing apart from a lad called Will Maher, who looks promising, but as a 17 year old forward he is nowhere near ready just yet. It is to me a concern as other clubs have youngsters who can step up to the plate in times of injuries.
So if that is correct, and I have absolutely no reason not to believe it, then it will be 2 or 3 seasons, before we have any youngsters ready to step into the breach.

You can't really use that as an excuse though. If you want to win stuff you have to be able to win games even when you're missing players.

No elitism at all, and sorry if I've touched a nerve.
As I've said in another thread I'll be cheering you lot on in the cup.
But you can't make the excuses of injuries or players not playing for your battering on friday, because if that's true then you won't win much.
We were still without Charnley, Thornley, Goulding, Taylor, Pettybourne all of whom would be in our 17 under normal circumstances.
