Don't think we'll get near 20k but maybe around 16/17k. You would have thought Warrington will bring a sizeable following given their run of form.

I had no doubt we would win at Wembley, tomorrow is a little bit more difficult to call. If our forwards play as well as they did in the CC Final we will win.

| It’s a great night for rugby league with Wigan vs Wire the pick of bunch, but Leigh vs Saints could spell the end of Wellens. If Leigh get the win, then Kr down at the Broncos which you’d expect a Kr win.. Be a tough close fought game at the Brick community Stadium between two teams, who I think will contest the Grand Final.
Can’t wait for the kick off

| I don’t fancy us tonight if I’m honest, I’d expect a reaction after last week but I think the spine is still under too much pressure without the big 2 and also question marks over the fitness of Leeming.
If we were to win would be one of the best if not the best win of the season.

| Does Keighran have an injury? Or has he been dropped for a poor performance to give him a kick up the ? Id say the latter would be a tough harsh given plenty had shockers on Saturday.

Far from the only one, Farrimond's head has gone - cost us two tries (he jumped the line for Warringtons second try). Havard does the same thing every time - catches the ball does a little shimmy and trundles forward and drops like stone on contact - where is the post contact metres he used to make.O'Neil & Mago look unfit and Walters offers nothing. Our much vaunted pack looks lightweight all of a sudden. Too many one put drives leading to rushed plays and mistakes.

The issue we’ve got is O’Neill has nothing to support him so it’s just the same lack of danger at 9. Havard is probably knackered from covering weeks of low minutes from Mago, Dupree and Byrne. Farrimond can make mistakes, he shouldn’t be playing now really but we are where we are at the minute. I’m really concerned about Walters. He looks a proper dud and more and more like Wayne McDonald with every passing week.

| We are going to need to get in the market for a 9. That’s an ACL injury if ever I saw one from O’Neill.

| And it gets worse, poor defense and absolutely no attacking shape. Even with the forced changes there ar too many individual bad mistakes and players dropping off one on one tackles tackles- don't think anyone is going to come out of this game with any credit.
O'Neil looks like a bad one sadly - his season looks done.

| Some of the tactics tonight from Peet have been shocking. Byrne I think will have played 26 mins, Hill even less. We are attacking towards Walters in the left centre, where Wardle has been put on the right. It’s clear we’ve got serious problems at 9 and a perfect storm happening with the players we have out. I think Thompson is the only one to come out of this game with any credit for us, a proper machine again.
How we get out of this rut will be interesting. The first few to sit out next week should be Miski, Byrne, Farrimond and Walters. That last try sums up the pathetic attitude of the team and coaching staff tonight. Unprofessional decisions throughout.

| I'm interested to see how Peet reacts to this. I would definitely be giving Douglas a run out instead of Miski who has had 2 abysmal games the last 2 weeks and I am still to see Walters have a good 10 mins for Wigan never mind a good game. Massively underwhelming. All that being said I expect us to get it right come the business end of the season and it will take a good performance to knock us out of a playoff game

| I think a bit of emotional intelligence is needed here and certainly not the time to throw the toys out of the pram as you know some will do. I was pleased with how the fans generally got behind the team - particularly in the second half. The lads have been brilliant over the last year and won every trophy you can win so they deserve support now we're having a blip.
It was a poor performance - it was never going to be pretty tonight but if we were going to have a chance we needed to be very solid and keep errors to a minimum. We did the opposite of that right from the start with the Byrne error and it was an uphill struggle from that point.
Warrington did a good job of exposing Farrimond who had a very tough night that he'll learn from. With French and Keighran out and Nsemba/Farrimond inexperienced we were very vulnerable there.
The injury to O'Neill is rough news - looks like it's Leeming and Forber going forward. We'll have to see if we can scrape enough wins to stay in the top 2 fight before Field and French come back but ultimately it's all about timing and who gets into the playoffs with the fittest squad and in the best form.

| Tbf, I don't think Byrne did much wrong after that initial drop. Except he didn't play big minutes, but that's not down to him.

| Masters of our own downfall again (as we were last week), all Wire tries down to Wigan mistakes, either directly or the subsequent set:
Byrne drops ball first run - Wire Try.
Eckersley fails to catch bomb and hits it for drop out - Wire Try.
Interception pass x 2 - Wire Tries.
Junior drops play the ball - Wire Try.
All Hull FC tries came off our errors last week and we got punished.

| We didnt play our game tonight from minute one was a replica of Hull FC away but I won’t loose faith think we string a few home wins we’ll sail through until we get players back. Name a pack that would win with first choice centre, Fb and stand off and 2nd choice hooker out (also lost our first choice) was weird around the 65 min mark the wire fans were quiet (even though they’d won) and were out sang by the home fans

Lack of resilience in the team at the minute when almost every error is punished. It’s ok saying Farrimond will learn, he won’t. He’s going to be a target his entire career because of his size so it’s down to those round him to do a job in defence because he won’t be in the side for his defensive efforts. I’m disappointed we don’t seem to trust him to do anything with the ball though. Pointless playing him if we don’t allow him to showcase what he’s shown to get to this level.

| I said to my missus that we’d lose after watching the teams warm up. Warrington look slick working through their drills . We dropped the ball at least four times just doing simple up and down unopposed passing drills . Byrne was one of the culprits who dropped the ball and look how he started the game . Some of the warm up passing and tip ons were awful , we were just going through the motions . Warrington looked deadly serious . Fail to prepare , prepare to fail

| Fickle fans come out when we loose. Not playing our best atm but can turn it around and there has been plenty of times when we’ve turned it around. Pretty sure Warrington were favourites to win the Cc final as well. Still plenty you time to the play offs

| We're having one of those spells that we have and we'll be ok. The injury to O'Neill is the most concerning aspect of tonight. Take that away and I'm not worried in the slightest about how the rest of the season plays out. This wobble will bring everyone right back down to earth and will sharpen the focus and once we play through it, we will benefit from it IMO and I back us to go and finish the season on a high.
