Sorry, but I'm entitled to an opinion and mine is that our attitude and energy was poor in a game where we should have been fired up as top spot was at stake. Our forwards failed to get on top. Our discipline was atrocious. We lost the ball in poor positions and failed to make touch with penalties twice. Our backs were shown up defensively out wide. I appreciate that Wigan are the form team, but come on, we had only one injury and only got 18 of our 24 points when Wigan had put the cue on the rack. To have nearly 50 put past us isn't really something we should be merely shoulder-shrugging about. IMO.

not even close, 52-0 at home is a shambles your good enough to come back next week

IMO for you to play us after losing our first game with a tough new coach and losing in the way we did, meant that it was the worst time ever for you to play us.

You will be in the top 5 at least IMO which obviously is a huge improvement on last year. Richard Horne looked immense for you tonight, I have never rated him before just thought he was average nothing to shout about but my heart was in my mouth everytime he had the ball tonight.

Good luck for the rest of the season.

I think you're being a little hard on yourselves.

At 12 - 6 you split us (Wigan) open with some superb rugby but didn't take the final pass.
Then just before half time you failed to find touch, we got a good bounce for Roberts to score.

Then in the second half we got a little lucky with Sam Tomkins second try.

It's a long season and you will get the run of the ball in some games (I hope it's not against us)
Good luck for the rest of the season, come and have a chat when we are in the Brickmakers prior to our visit.

Richard Horne was brilliant for you tonight.

Almost every try in the first half was because of giving them a penalty in their own 30, terrible discipline.

Agreed.

Just got back and feeling completely pesimistic.

A very poor performance by FC tonight. The right hand side got pummelled in defence. However, that does not warrant an excuse to give awaystupid, needless penelties or make ridiculous mistakes in dangerous areas of the field. I wasn't expecting a win tonight, but a performance would have been nice. Why did Long feel the need to pass the ball to someone else to kick in the first half? Still concerned about his hamstring? If so, shouldn't have been anywhere near the starting team.

Horne did well tonight, as did Houghton. Something has to change before next weekend otherwise we can expect the same thing.

We won't win many games away from home as far as I can see, we may have beaten St's but the last two performances would have seen us lose to anyone on our travels.

Spot on !

FFS stop going OTT people.

TBH I thought Alibert in parts was playing to the crowd.

Wigan fans was like the scousers at one point , booing every tackle Hull made.

The Hull following was fantastic for a Friday night. The official figure was 2,100(ish) which is a great effort and you deserved to see a better and more disciplined preformence.

The real plus point for Hull tonight I thought was Richard Hornes preformence. He caused us(Hansen especially) no end of problems everytime he took the ball in.

Was Long fit? He did no long kicking.

Horne once again our best player.

Penalties killed us, we never had ther ball and we therefore had too much tackling to do, we showed when we did have it we could score tries.

I said that on the way back. Was like the mcrae years all over again

We gave the penalties away because we couldn't compete with their intensity

Excellent post!
