I agree Connor failed to gather an eminently catchable pass but my point was meant to be that at 16-0 up in our own half just before half time we should have been playing conservatively and keeping them scoreless. Manage the clock and stifle the opposition.

Could be an opinion that Cudjoe's best years have been wasted by a play safe back inside FB like pixie.Anderson is the one really at fault.

Totally agree with that !!

Hate sounding negative but just a few thoughts on todays p*ss poor performance;
Connor had a bit of a nightmare which reflected on Murphy's (lack of!) contribution.
Grix - not the best performance from him. Brierley must now be feeling a bit disillusioned and fed up.
Sebastienne - great effort but chucked a few silly balls and possession away.
Wardle was away with the fairies and was possibly dreaming of greater things (NRL? But who'd have him based on that performance!)
Dodgy 4th try from Widnes! Was Stevie Wonder running the line?
Do we have a captain on the pitch throughout the game? Seems Danny was happy to have a rant at individuals. Perhaps his energy might have been directed at the team as a collective.
Jools has questioned the support. After capitulating the second half and throwing away the game that should have been a done deal in the first half, is it any wonder we were stunned into virtual silence!
Still keeping the faith and still half full!!

Positives from today;
Hollands pies. The meat and potato (or should that be potato and meat?) were particularly nice and flavoursome , especially with the spicy brown sauce (free sachets!)
Free, secure(ish) parking - my wheels and windows were still intact on return to the car park.
Err, the sun was out in the second half.
Struggling now.... got caught up in the nasty pile up 1 mile from home but hey ho, no one appeared to be hurt so all's well!
Keep the faith!

It's not surprising Jools always finds something wrong with the fans or a fan somewhere.

It wasn't flat at the start or when we were 16-0 up it was nothing more than stunned silence at what we were seeing it wasn't flat at the end when we were scenting an improbable win or draw at 20-24.

Anderson's comments 'we didn't deserve it' 'at half time we spoke about doing the simple things right' 'we got a reality check' either he didn't put it across right or the players didn't listen and for crying out loud is that not the 12th 'reality check' we've had in 16 games how many more do we need ????? and the 'fans were flat ?' Shocked is the word I would have used !!

Even the Examier describes it as 'the vocal claret and gold following'

Not sure what your supposed to look like when you have tonsillitis but Brierley was picked out by the sky cameras watching the Leigh Bradford game at the summer bash in Blacky, hard to tell really it's not like having your arm in a sling or anything noticeable.

He warmed up with the team so can't have tonsillitis this week.

He needs to be playing now we are 6pts adrift of 8th he's an X factor we badly need like Mellor yesterday for Widnes showed what a step and raw pace can do when he scored.

Time for us to accept that the best we can finish is 9th and play to get the four home games.

I think we did what PA said we shouldn't.

We fell in love with ourselves after Magic.

Banning all mirrors is the way forward.

Brierley did have tonsillitis, at least thats what he said on his own twitter feed straight after the cats game. Anderson made no mention of it, even eluded to the fact Grix was picked ahead of him, someones fibbing.

Agree with a few comments on here, the faster pace of Brierley would have been more suited to the Widnes pitch, what difference it would have made to a poor performance is anyones guess.
