| Quote ="Sebasteeno"Glad for the victory and effort but in order to become a better side some basic fundamentals need sorting. Defensive line speed was way too slow all game giving Widnes the opportunity to make way too many easy yards. Attack again plenty of effort but was very one dimensional - we need a specialist attacking coach to come in asap. Thought Houghton did pretty well and Cunningham not so good if im honest. I like Pryce but Rankin isnt a half back imo but does a commendable job standing in for Sneyd. Still a win is a win and id much rather an unattractive win then a sparkling loss. We have a real chance to build some momentum now with the Sheffield and Wakey games coming up and both are must wins'"
We definitely need to do something to improve the attack and quickly, If we'd managed to score one more try (and goal) in every game this season we'd be 2nd in the league on 15 points.

Don't know if you've seen Lineham's MOM interview on Sky, but he mentions we had identified Widnes' love of moving the ball wide and changed our defensive tactics to deal with it. Those interceptions were quite deliberate as well. Whisper it softly, but I think Radford out-coached Betts.

| IMO thought Cunningham looked very good last night. Like to see him get more game time.

| Lets get something right , This Widnes side rested 6 players for this game, this side put 30 on Warrington ,drew with Wigan, beat Rovers with 6 players out including Brown met a Fc side without Sneyd,Ellis, Watts ,green,yeaman,Hadley and whiting scored one good try and one which should not have been and still fans are having a dig at the coach and players? " Why criticise the defence? I sometimes wonder what planet some fans are on. From the start you could see it was going to be a hard task for fc with a very poor performance from Silverwood who gave Fc nothing and to say the 10 was skinny was a understatement .again a win has stuck in the throats of many so called fans and even if we had won by 30 still would not give any credit to the coach or players.

You could also say that widnes gained all of those wins/draws at home on their synthetic pitch and have only won 2 away games in the last 12 months - both against the sides relegated last season. You could also say that over half their team had a disrupted week due to air traffic control problems in France.
All for the sake of balance of course.
Agree about silverwood though. He turned what was always likely to be a low quality game into a disorganised bore fest

I think the vast majority of comments have been positive and there has been no undue criticism of the players. It was a good result but lets not get carried away by the quality of the performance. All true fans will be happy with the win and the 2 points but will admit there is much to be done yet to turn this into a decent season. At least now there is hope for the future.

The vocal backing of a vociferous home crowd has obviously helped to get the team over the winning line Jake. Better that than a string of close losses in a soulless library to be honest.

A scraped win by 14 pts,4 tries to 2 and never behind in the game. Bearing in mind that apart from the catalans game your 3 home victories added together are by less than 14pts makes your comment seem a bit rich.

| Thought we played well enough considering. Radford is getting stuff right, our defence is solid but offensively we are poor and if Lee is to stay in charge, as many have already said we need some sort of offensive coach to sort out our attack.

Hey we know we are scraping wins and not playing well. If only though we could live up to the worlds greatest side over there in the east, thrashing all teams out of sight, then things would be much rosier.

He coaches the u19's, who scored 74 unanswered points last night.
