Nope, you were [idesperate[/i for a downturm in fortunes so you had a reason to come back on here after your dummy spit. Phoney poster and phoney supporter.

Frank was in the bar before the game and gave a speech, I wouldn't have thought he would had done that if he had a fall out.

As for the OP, a bit pathetic to come back on here after a defeat, but offer no praise for previous games, even Seb and Knocker manage that, we can do without fans like you.

We are certainly better than last year, if that is enough, that is still to be seen.

Need to win the next three games IMO.

Agreed Dave. We need three wins or we will be getting adrift from the top six. From Easter Monday we have a tough set of fixtures (I imagine Huddersfield will be back on form by then).

Five from seven would still be a good start to the season despite two disappointing home losses.

I still think there are things to be positive about and am still backing LR at this point.

Positives for me:

For entertaining rugby
Forwards
Never giving in, last season the last two games would have been easy away wins.
New signings, really impressed with Taylor and Manu, Washy has impressed and still think Carlos will be a great signing, has been very well watched. Frank will also come good when the weather is better.
Houghton and Shaul have been excellent.
Goal kicking.

Areas of improvements:
Discipline
Using our brains and not panicking
Closing a game out
Goal line defence(particularly the right side)
Use of subs
Consistency of halfs.

We have been lucky with injuries so far, they are starting to come, so it could be a good test of our squad.

Big three games which will test the team and coach.

We are far better than last season, but not quite there yet. Dumb error cost us what would have been a good draw in the end. Dumb errors cost us against Cas.
I for one though am enjoying the games these days, which will do for me.
Good game, unlucky in the end to come away with defeat

If you think that Standee''s absence from this site is voluntary then you really haven't been paying attention. Probably too busy wallowing in self-pity and stroking your e-peen waiting for the chance to launch a ridiculous thread like this one.

The drop in crowd numbers is hardly a closely guarded secret and has been debated on here at some length. Something you might have been aware of had you not flounced out in a sulk declaring your intention to never return. Odd how that decision was reversed as soon as we had a couple of defeats. And yet while we were winning you were nowhere to be seen

Pathetic behaviour.

Excellent point about enjoyment, the last couple of years I have been bored at games, certainly not this year, all games have been enjoyable to a point.

If that first play had come off it would have been a different game, we would have never tried that previous seasons.

IMO you should unban Standee, let him have his say. It did provide some enjoyment.

How's Watts going. He's the best player you've got( he believes).
Cost you 2-4points in 4 games.

We win & lose as a team pal that's the moto at our club.

I think it was a pretty positive performance overall. Most wigan's territory came from our ill discipline around the play of the ball. I know some blame the ref for over policing but we should have realised that after the first few penalties. We are attacking and playing wonderful rugby. The rest will come with time.

We all have differences of opinion about our team but remember we are all after the same thing, no need to get personal about it.

Haven't got the full stats but the headline ones reflected the game - broadly equal although we made more metres and missed fewer tackles. Obviously only one stat that really counts though.

lineham was the difference last season and we don't have the same kind of quality on the flanks now. We need to improve our defence or we'll lose and possibly heavily. widnes are a quick side who move the ball about well. They won't try and take us on down the middle

that was the home game, the away game we bossed them after the first 20 minutes, keeping them scoreless for 65 minutes

agreed about them getting the ball outwide, brown loves the cut out pass (lineham fed off it in the home game last year)
