Im sure he does petal

Any club usually retains more for losing. No winning bonuses to pay

Is it wrong that I really enjoyed the game? Jesus, Wigan have got some incredible talent in their ranks, great to watch. Was slightly jaded experience and superior fitness vs well-drilled and talented youthful exuberance. Really exciting game.

Credit to DJ and his composure. Also thought Watts was great tonight. Usual handling and penalty disappointments, but better in attack than last week. Well done to them for sticking at it when 14 points down, could have tossed it in. Fun night.

The average age of the Wigan team was 21 ours was 22, we had a different team out as well due to injury. Add to that the effect of last Saturday on the entire squad and then fighting back from being 14 down.

No one is going to give us any credit for that, all they see is a depleted Wigan ripped off with a dodgy ref and even worse timekeeper.

Two point on the table

In what way are we heading backwards ?

Gentle has delivered a cup final, wins against the Top 4 sides, youngsters coming through and if we win next week an improvement on the League table. We also won our first play off game in a long while too, in what way are we going backwards ?

Ok the attack is not the best but for the most part this season we have defended very well, progress may not be as quick to other peoples liking but it is being made. Wigan had an average age of 21 out there tonight and we had one at 23 (if my maths serving me correctly) which doesn't define that we had a god given right to go there and win. Gentle may not be the coach that takes us to the dizzy heights but to claim he is taking us backwards at an alarming rate is complete and utter BS.

Pmarrow, stop taking sense mate some on here dont like it, totally agree with you mate good post

yep. some of our more negative friends also forget how much game time horne, bowden, jphnson and kent have had in recent weeks or even months in some cases.

Our prize money says not

I've not followed Wigan's team selection this year but the age thing for me is irrelevant. Their lack of SL experience was what it was all about. All our young lads had experience with the exception of Kent, and possibly Shaul and Bowden, so the comparison is relevant and we SHOULD have done better.

I wasn't celebrating at the end as it should have been done and dusted well before the last 15 seconds, but a win's a win.

Although Briscoe dropped the ball over the line for his second try and the penalty we got after Shaul's run (that led to a try) was a farce. He played it to no one, the Wigan player ran round him to dive on it. No problem. Still, about time we got some decisions go our way

the shaul incident typifies fc to me this season, lazy! no one was near him to back up!

This shows what an utter idiot you are. Stick to lego daft lad

Pretty much spot on. but what a great way too end a game. When did we last drop 2 goals?

What a night, think I've only ever seen FC win at Wigan once. Crazy game but got to admire FC's spirit to dig that one out. 5th place there for the taking now. Can't wait for Saints now, just hope we get a few more players back.
