Agree!
Nice to hear phil clarke being very negative about widnes the way he is of wire.

Widnes have thrown the ball about alright but not been very creative tonight

They don't like a High ball do they.

Let's hope Smith and co are taking note

Tactics for next week:

Drive it right up the middle with a fast ptb then kick the ball so high it bounces back off the moon.

Wigan players immune to yellow cards?

Who's punched wane on the head ?

Next Friday is going to be either amazing or absolutely horrendous.

Could it possibly be a sell out ?
Would imagine a record number of police there though

Widnes were great. They look there for the taking through the middle though. Our props are streets ahead of Wigan, and that's where we need to play them. Wigan have average props and no hooker, we have Hill & Clark, that's where we'll have the edge hopefully.

Hats off though, great start by our chemical friends, and in brown, mellor & Hanbury they have great creativity.

Ha, that's what I said. Foz reckons he did it himself since 'he seems the sort'. I don't disagree.

If it is sell out then it would be the first ever.
IF we win tonight I think next Fridays crowd will be around the 13,800 mark

No 8 point try.
Clubb and his blatant professional foul when the Wigan line wasn't set should habe been a yellow.
A few incidents in which you feel if the team wasn't a big club they would have been penalised.

Please Mr Ganson.

Can you look at players not playing the ball, players moving off the mark so that they play the markers offside, players mouthing off at refs.

It it takes Child/Hicks proportion of penalties in the beginning to sort out i don't mind but loving chuff it is doing my box in now. We are just as guilty too with that.

I would say Wigans attack is one dimensional but I think that would be giving them too much credit. Is there such a thing as 'no dimensional'?

Widnes certainly have lots of pace in the team but without Kevin Brown they would be lost.

Still don't understand how both Wigan and Hudds let KB go?

What is the official capacity? We had a 14000+ back in 2013. Only remember that as it was a rare Monday night game, we beat Wigan and I had to go into work on the Tuesday with a horrendous hangover!

Wigan let him go as they needed to make room for fielden coming in during 06, and he was largely a here or there centre. Obviously him and robinson formed a pretty good partnership, then he moved back this side of the pennines to be closer to home, but after they'd signed brough.

If you go on the goons board they seem to thinktheir attack is geared up for having stomkins in the backline, obviously stomkins isn't in the team so makes it a bit futile, however i'd dispute that point as well, they're just blunt.

Because Wigan had
Trent Barrett - Thomas Leuluai - Sam Tomkins (in the wings)

Actually I don't think KB had a particularly outstanding game last night.
Don't get me wrong he was still influential, but I think Wigan restricted his role somewhat with their tactics.
His kicking wasn't as good as I've seen etc.

Having said that, Hanbury more than stepped up to the mark.
Marsh had a good game but their other winger didn't particularly (can't remember his name).

Forwards were what struck me.
With basically the same pack as last year they really stood up to be counted.
Don't know quite why it should appear this year.

Full of admiration for Widnes.

Wigan's attack is just the same as it ever is but no penetration as yet. Tomkins will just do his usual which most teams can't defend against.

I think official capacity is 15,200, biggest attendance was back in 2012 (I think) when we had 15k on against Saints.....

All geared up for a full house next Friday.

1. Not on Sky
2. Demics playing well ( Got to bring a big following)
3. We win tonight and it could be for the top of the table. Points difference dependent.
4. Feel good factor around the towns is high.
5. Cheshire Derby
6. Not on Sky

Be good to see the house full signs but i predict 14500. I bet sky are chuffed that they continue to screen to bottom of the table Dull derby.

Good to hear everyone at sky claiming its your year again and how you look like a team on the way to OT, after 6 games, that's pretty impressive!

Tbf, you didn't see the Chris Sandow show last night, we'll let you off
