The team work their booty off and all you can do is search for a way to bitch about other results.
Of course we've had a recent slump but there have been some excellent games this season. But you concentrate on putting them down if that's how you feel.
You must be a joy at parties.
Well done to all today. Great game, decent crowd, nice weather. Unfortunately result didn't follow on but it was worth the entrance money. That's enough for me.'"
Had the team worked their booty off for the games that were winnable we would have been in the top 8, so putting effort into a game that was ultimately unwinnable IMO should not be ample reason to forget what has gone on before.
We shouldn't be praising the players for today's performance, we should be asking them why it wasn't there for the previous two games against teams who are at our level.
I said at the start of the season that I thought this squad had enough ability in it to at least compete for the top 8 and possibly the top 6 depending on a couple of other teams, I stand by that opinion, and as such think that this season has been blown for reasons not known to most of us, say what you want but today's performance proves my point and yet some fans are happy to come away from a game losing without questioning why a performance of today's quality that would have beaten most teams in the league has been missing for most of the season and against teams that are far more beatable than Wigan.
