| Haven't seen it or listened but OUCH. Nothing worse than getting spanked and coming out with injuries to top it off.
No getting away from the performance and scoreline but as most agreed at the start, 2 wins from the first 3 would be a decent start.
I bet Webster is left scratching his head after a drubbing like that especxiallly after the grit, determination, fitness and skill we showed in the first two. Well I suppose it wouldn't be Wakey without these kinds of brain farts.

| Supporters have every right to be p off especially the travelling fans. It seems to be the wakey way for as long as it can remember. Loosing all part of sport and totally acceptable when your teams put a good shift in , but totally unacceptable when the performance is a shambles.

It's about all you can do. We royally turned Hull KR over last game and now they've just beaten Wigan, just goes to show.

| To be fair it was a terrible performance, but it was just a bit of a perfect storm for Widnes (who were excellent) We never really had a chance to get into the game.
Every kick they put in was pitch perfect
Every time we made a mistake they ruthlessly punished us for it
We didn't get the bounce of the ball all night
They knocked 7 bells out of Timmy before we'd even played 10 mins
We didn't have any joy out of Child until half way through the second half when we were well beaten and he took some pity on us.
All in all a bad day at the office and hopefully will act as a timely reminder to the players not to start believing their own hype!

Really, If you follow this thread through from the start you will see by most of your posts that you were a little bit more than upset, hoping that Webster sells all his players' not to mention Mathers being better than Hall despite waxing lyrical about him most of the season. Do you think you've cornered the market in disappointment? all the fans are hurting and angry at what's happened, difference is they cope with it like adults', and fwiw nobody has even mentioned you, they have just suffered in silence at your rantings' get over yourself.

Not going to happen. Webster said on radio Leeds on way home that there's no chance of that due to short turnaround. He did say it may be more of a mental thing that needs to happen this week.

| A hugely disappointing day. Widnes just seemed to want it more than we did. They were much faster than us in defence and strong running in attack. We didn't cope with them early on and just seemed to get worse the more they got on top. The couple of times that we got penalties and started sets in their half we scored. We just made so many errors that we didn't get to start many sets, let alone in their half.
Bad day at the office, but we have to move on. It is still 2 wins from 3 and that's probably better than we expected before the season started. We just need to see a massive improvement on Friday, and I hope that Webster is strong enough to get them to react.

I didn't say I hope Webster sells his players, I hope he flogs them. I look back at my posts and I see I was just as upset and annoyed as quite a few other posters on here. As for my 'rantings' again, I'm not the only one who had 'rants'. If anyone needs to get over themselves it's you, because your constant obsessions of shooting down (not debating) everything I say its become more than tiresome it's become really sad.

| I'll bet the last time a Widnes team ran that many points past Wakefield it contained Martin Offiah, Andy Currier and Jonathan Davies. The fact that the current Widnes crew haven't one player anywhere near that class just shows what a set of carthorses turned out in Red, White and Blue today.

| I have more faith in Webster to get a reaction on Friday than if it was Agar.
Today we were ok for about 15 mins then we rushed and pushed everything, leading to us not having the ball for about 10 mins.
In this time Widnes built pressure and forced errors to go 22-0 up.
Tim never recovered from fluffing Mellors try.
Disappointing but more disappointed with the fans that were leaving with 18 mins to go!

So you think recalling a squad player from the Championship to take the place of players who have won us two out of three games this season is the answer???

Brown and Mellor may disagree with you.

Brown, although given plenty of time and space to work with was very, very good yesterday and the Widnes kicking game (again without any pressure) was faultless.
Turnstile defence and schoolboy errors, certainly helped keep the scoreboard rolling.
The team of the 80's was filled with stars, which would blow the current salary cap out of the water

| One good thing to come out of yesterday's result this morning, is that the 'knee jerk, lynch them' attitude has really slowed down.
We were going to get tubbed sooner or later, as Shifty Cat said, if you would have offered us 2 wins from 3 before a ball had been kicked, everyone would have been happy.
We get 2 wins and expectations go through the roof, then we get beaten by Widnes, who all of a sudden are inferior to Wakey!

| It was the manner of the loss rather than the loss itself that was the problem, hopefully the fact just about everyone had a shocker will mean it was just "one of those days". The main problem for me was that our forwards were very very poor…made no yards at all and were not moving up at all to dominate any tackles and this was very similar to the first 20-30 mins at Cas . If I remember correctly it was the introduction of Annakin that got us going forward that day. Anyway onto Friday where the players will want to get this match out of their systems and give us something to cheer about (hopefully), to be fair James Webster sounded as upset as all of us in his post match interview.

We put, Cocker.
Draw a line under yesterday and lets start again, although Saints isn't the ideal start on the road to redemption, unless we beat them

That's a good thing. I'd rather have a coach who feels the defeat than one who 'takes the positives'.

Financially, it also blew Widnes out of the water, as far as I recall.

| I had a good go at the team when they put in a can't be bothered effort v HKR last game of season 2014 and they deserved it..bit early to go OTT just yet. Might have said different If I'd wasted my Sunday driving from Beverley to Widnes mind you but I guess we are aiming for 8th and 2/3 isn't too bad. We need to keep the powder dry and keep calm and carry on a good while yet. I half expected something like this; Trinity are nothing if not predictably unpredictable!

I know what you mean about unpredictable but it's going to be a lot tougher against St.Helens on Friday and being competitive against Widnes should have been a given at least. It's not the loss it's the manner of the defeat that is shocking to most. I feel sorry for those fans that spent their money on that horror performance. For those that didn't go or listen to the error strewn and poor defensive performance. Have a look at this which is more than enough.....
