As fans, we all want our team to do well, but the reality is down to pound notes and the ability to spend up to the cap (plus, at some clubs, spouse earnings etc)
Season 2 will be better and by season 3, you may have a truly competetive side.
Get real and get behind your team.'"
Listen sunshine, read and most importantly understand my post before you go telling me to get real.
You won't find many more behind my team than me. Seldom am I seen/heard/read slagging them or the coach off at every turn. I back the club with my hard earned cash and vocal chords the vast majority of weeks. There are only the most deluded Widnes speccies who expect us to win more games than we lose. I think we've done well to win 2 games so far but it is the manner of some of our defeats and the Bradford performance in particular that prompted me to vent my frustration. That performance would have been unacceptable from an under 8's team and if you'd have had the misfortune to not only witness but pay for the dubious pleasure, you'd have been pretty hacked off too.
We've had some very dark days at Widnes over the last decade or so but the teams we sometimes have had to cobble together have by and large played to the best of their abilities. Not last week. It pains me to say the effort & commitment shown by a large percentage of our team against Bradford was nothing short of pathetic.
I'll be at Saints on Friday night and most other games this season pennies & holidays permitting.
