Quote: Colly2 "Poorest Hive performance of the season against the weakest oppo.
First time I've seen a real lack of effort and enthusiasm from some players. Some awful kick chases. And some awful kicks - everyone has commented on Drinkwater's kicking game but it really is terrible and gets brought into sharp relief when the away team seem more familiar with the small dimensions of the pitch than the home team.
Grima got his selection badly wrong and used his bench dreadfully. Reminded me of Rea. Moore had too many minutes, Duckworth is a right winger and was absolutely shocking on the left. Keyes clearly didn't know his teammates - not a criticism of the player BTW. JWH at stand-off for me next time.
I could go on. Very disappointed.'"
Only my second visit, so can't really compare with other games. Agree Moore was on for too long but there were no alternatives - Bishay not selected, Cunningham missing (and much missed) presumably because of his concussion last weekend, Keyes off injured early in the second half. First three Widnes tries all followed directly from us handing over possession in our own twenty zone. We didn't have a forward to make the hard yards like Tickle did. And I don't know why JWH got man of the match.
Sitting just along from me in the East stand were Nesi, Farrar, Minns, Dixon, presumably Atkins but I don't know that I'd recognise him, and B and C mentioned above. Too much experience missing, especially in the backs, in a thin squad.
