Nice to see the honesty of some of the Widnes fans on the Trust in Widnes forum. One of them says that Widnes defended very poorly and that they were outclassed by Gateshead in the opening part of the match. Interestingly, he also says that the first Widnes try was blatant crossing, the kick through under the posts was clearly offside and that the Flynn try was from a pass a mile forward. He reckons the eventual win is just papering over the cracks at his club. A neutral on there says that Gateshead deserved a bonus point and that the final winning margin slightly flattered Widnes. He felt that the turning point in the game was the sin binning of a Gateshead player after about 60 odd minutes play. Isn't it funny how different fans see the same match so differently? As I have said, it is not Gateshead's attack that is their problem. They would be right near the top of the division if things were purely based on points scored. However, to concede nearly forty points a match isn't great to say the least, but it sounds as if they were a tad unlucky tonight in that department.

The same could be said for Widnes's position as well

Can Leigh not join in on this 'thrashing' someone in a league game, our biggest winning margin is by 7 points

If I remember correctly most of our wins in 82 were no more than that

That shouldn't be too difficult for a Leyther to figure out.

So you wouldnt accept us winning every game from now on by just 1 point then? I would, like Starbug said we didnt 'thrash' many in 81/82 and we certainly didn't back in 70/71 and those are suppose to be two of our best ever seasons.
