Now what do the people who all had a go at all us who complained in this thread about the side put out toda.

ARE YOU HAPPY.

I had a horrible feeling this might happen with the players who were left out. Shocking.

oh dear

hahaha

Stop pedalling that s**t. Getting 2 points matters a lot more than a couple of youngsters getting a game.

Complete lack of respect. Shown from wane. Disgraceful.

Mistake he will not make again.

Gamble didnt pay off, we can only hope Wane learns from this.

This will do nothing for the youngsters, if anything it will shoot their confidence.

Now who feels an idiot??

Clueless? Yes you are.

How can the players believe in the 'Wigan Way' philosophy if Wane doesn't follow it himself?

I know we complained about Madge not resting players at all, but Wane has gone well over the top here. Embarrassing. Fair enough, Leuluai had carried a knock, but to leave pretty much the whole spine of our team out has been a shocker of a decision. Lets hope he'll never make such an error again.

Well what a game. What more can I say I'm shattered just listening to it.

Say what you like about knee jerk this and knee jerk that the fact of the matter is Wane has alot to answer for after today HE is the only one to blame for this and no one will convince me otherwise as the saying goes why try to fix what isn't broken blooding youngsters is fair enough but you don't do it at the expense of leaving your 4 best players out, Shocking decision that has left Wane with plenty of question marks hanging over this decision.

I am disgusted. I was fine with leaving players like Richards out who carried and injury all last year, playing Younger players etc. but resting our two best players after 6 games is a total lack of respect to the other team. I am almost glad we lost. Maybe Wane will learn his lesson. I remember player Sheffield in the cup away in 2010 under madge, I remember wondering why..... Today proves you should play a strong team no matter who your are playing. What happened to Wanes no mercy approach?

fully deserved by widnes

never been so angry about a coaching decision than i was before the game and after the game.

It was shown Mercy

The 'We are top of the league' chants from the Wigan end didn't last very long did they?

Absolutely brilliant.

Any chance of you giving the same team an opportunity to redeem itself next week?

Not giving Widnes any credit for today's victory?

Angry here too, massive mistake by Wane, how much more incentive did Widnes need, so many ex Wiganers at the club including coach and assistant, surely Wane would have known how they would have been fired up anyway, really looking forward to his post match comments, well done Widnes well deserved, but what an embarrassment on our part, huge mistake Shaun, HUGE mistake, let's hope this doesn't come back to haunt us in a few months, angry of Wigan!

An opportunity to go top of the league and post a serious points difference thrown away. I'm all for giving the youngsters an opportunity but not all at once. Leaving so many experienced players out at once is asking for trouble. Let's hope we don't live to regret it at the end of the season.

Yes, have a quick look at the post 3 above yours.

Widnes played well for them, but it was Wane's decision that settled the game.

Just been listening to S Wane on the radio. He says the team he put out he was 100% sure it was good enough to beat Widnes. He is gutted and won't sleep tonight. He said Wigan didn't play well enough they should have won. I think that he greatly uner-estimated Widnes.

didnt make it today, and apart from the obvious disappointment at the result, i was wondering how the youngsters looked?

For me some understandable nerves, but promising going forward. Looked weak in defence, due to inexperience. They probably could have used some stronger leadership.

I agree he underestimated Widnes and the team was weakened too much but, TBF, if Charnley had put that penalty over we [iwould[/i have won and we'd all have been discussing the lucky escape. SW wasn't [ithat[/i far off in his assessment. In the end, a highly-motivated Widnes side sneaked a 1-point win over a very disrupted team filled with youngsters, with a drop goal.

We've found out Matty Russell is going to be very handy for when, as many want, Tomkins goes to 6; we've found out that Mellor needs more first team game time if we want him to step up when Finch leaves. We've found out that five simultaneous changes to introduce youngsters is pretty much suicidal.
