Horrendous. Just got in and I live in West Yorkshire!

The sooner we get every team back to Sunday rugby the better.
Little wonder supporters dont want to travel on a Friday.
Have to put up with Sky Thursday and Friday TV games but the rest should all be Sunday with One game televised 18.00 kick off.
Nothing on TV at that time.Im surprised Sky dont use that time for a game

What exactly is Radford alluding to when he talks about not preparing properly in the week.
How can this happen ?The senior players and the Coaches need to stamp any sign of this bollox out - NOW

Suppose the manner of the win will mean there's
No complacency and training will be on the money
For the Wire fixture
Better to come away from beating the World Champs honking how do we improve and not make mistakes etc

I doubt that he's 'very worried', morely likely just frustrated at the last thirty minutes but relieved and happy with the win.

We know about your injury situation but lets not kid ourselves, that side Wigan had out last night would still be very competive in Super League. You've all been banging on for years about your youth system.

Great result for us, cracking game to watch. We did it the hard way in the end but we did it. Kelly not seen much of after he got battered after the ball had gone and Shaul not the same after his heroic last ditch tackle.
Williams for them is getting better every time I see him, absolute class.
A tough week ahead with the injury count but onwards and upwards.
Fantastic journey both ways to be savoured on a friday night, 3 and 1/2 hours to do 80 miles for me.

Superb herculean effort in defence...

But... as Lee Radford has stated..

"The first-half effort defensively was great, the energy they played with one another was as good as it gets. But if you keep hold of the ball, you don't have to defend that hard, it's a real simple equation."

If we carry on, in this manner, we'll be burnt out ,before the season ends..

Its time, Radford/Pearson, brought in another Asst Coach, to improve our team
in this weakness in our game...

Whatever preparation in attack training, we are doing, needs addressing..sooner rather
than later -IMO

Are you after a job? As you seem to mention this nearly every post, our attacking play is getting better every week and will improve along with our handling.

I think our backroom staff is fine, we have an extra man in Yeaman this year, so not sure why we need to waste money on another coach, seems pointless.

Houghton going off has massive impact on our defence and attack and has he not got injured we would have won that game comfy.

I mention this every post, because its happening every week, and its not improving.
(albeit the Huddersfield performance). in my opinion.

We'll agree to disagree...

I'm not sure I've come to the right place? I woke up this morning convinced we had just won away from home at the current SL and World Club champions who were currently top of the league? We still won despite losing the reigning man of steel in the first quarter of the match. Oh, and did I mention we had just gone top of the league?

Reading through some of the posts on here, I had to check I wasn't on the Widnes board.

2 points against Wigan away is all that will be remembered in a few weeks time.

Our attack is massively improving each week, Pearson and Radford think we are ok in the coaching department and despite not playing great we are top of the league and doing much better than last year.

It's only March, we're 5 from 6. The performances will come, don't forget we're still "massively undercooked" from our lacklustre preseason.

Didnt go last night so cant comment on the performance. But great result, we've gone to the World Champions and shown that we mean business. The gametime given to the younger/squad players back in 2015 and this preseason is paying off as they are stepping in to cover without our performance dropping.

Crazy isn't it? Dropped too much ball last night resulting in defensive pressure we didn't need, yes, but not too much else to complain about. Good to see the victory "squeeze" back, and Kelly loving it at the end. Travelling OK for me. Not long since Agar was here and we were looking up at almost everyone at this point.

Couldn't see the game clock from the top of the stand where I was, and thought we were playing on until wigan scored! Great win, will take the 2 points and if Radford is not happy, that's a good sign to me after beating the champs away. More concerning are his remarks around a perceived lack of interest in training (paraphrasing). I wonder who this might be?

Ellis, Houghton and Mini I reckon.

that'll be the day.

Is anyone looking like they're not training hard atm? Off the top of my head Taylor looks fooked every game but then I can't see him being the type to skip out on training and it's probably going the other way with fatigue.

Looking at the stats there's no wonder we were out at the end. Massive possession advantage to wigan and penalty count in their favour unsurprisingly

Really weird game, as has been said Wigan had all the ball and all the field position but whenever FC had the ball in our half in the first 40 you seemed to score. Wigan didn't look like scoring at all, your defence was top class.

Think all the defending tired you out and then gaps started to open for Williams. Gutted we didn't nick it but well done. Kelly and Fonua were thorns in our side.

Good luck at Wire next week and see you in a few weeks

Complete lazy set they are

Not ideal preparation, 4.5 hours on the coach due to a crash.. m.hulldailymail.co.uk/hull-fc-pr ... story.html

Probably explains our tiredness in the last quarter, which is usually our strong point, plus Houghon getting injured, for a man who never gets injured you have to wonder if this plus limited warm up time went towards his injury.

He's been carry it for a while.

Fair enough, you wouldn't think so would you, the man is a machine, I was really expecting him to come back on, so it must have been bad.

I didn't go on Friday, but just watched the game back on FC Live. What a game! Now that's what you pay your money for. Great defence from Hull and full credit to Wigan for never giving up.
