For me i enjoyed the game and dont think theres to much to panic about, the only concerns i had was missed tackles and not wrappping the ball up in the tackle to prevent the offload. I thought Will Sharp put his hand up and showed ppl he was willing to get stuck in by helping the fowards out carrying the ball back plenty of times. Mckinnon looks good and Martin looked solid when he came on. Would of liked to of seen a bit more of ellis and nicklas as the result was past us by last fifteen minutes.

Hello, stranger. Where the devil have you been?

Some of the duck-eggs on Sportstalk tonight were real class entertainment. Well worth a "listen again", even if its just to hear gollum defending Hull. Speaking of whom, he's looking for a #tag for his tweets, he reckons that Gwilym is a bit of a gobfull and most people couldn't spell it anyway. Any suggestions?

#uptherobins #hkr works well.

Tbf, if I rang in tonight, I'd be giving it loads. Sulking like a world champion, me.



Don't be mentioning any criminals, coddy. You're in enough trouble as it is.

Sooo 24 hours ago. Get your own material.

I was thinking along the lines of something a little more snappy but relatively benign, like #thrush - an irritating ****

My point was, It's not broke - why fix it?

Very good and probably a direct relative of a robin too. Text it in wth love and kisses from the "Facebook Three".

totaly agree mate,thought he did very well tbh

Either IBS or laxative as he's enough to irritate the out of anyone

Sharp was one of the best players when he jumped up to take that ball with his hands way above his head, with robins players around him speaks volumes to me about his confidence.

Oh and can you all sing abit more in the east stand im sick of having to sing for you all lol

Just watched the full game, their must have been a mix up though because it can't have been the same game as some of you saw.

What a complete over reaction.

Only a minority to be fair.

I proberly noticed them more because they scweamed and scweamed.

I watched Westerman closely and it's true to say defending in the middle effected his attack.

All in all i'd say we were a bit rusty.

Poor kicking game and never stopped the offloads.

Worth considering swapping Tickle and Westy when we are defending.

Very true, I was also surprised we didn't have two runners when at the play the ball, we seemed to revert back to last season.

Did www.superleaguefans.com/widnes-v ... um=twitter did or do we need another forward? This fella sounds a hefty lad!!

It looked like the first run-out of a team who hadn't had a competitive match to me playing a team who'd had a few more. The defence was pretty good for large periods considering the amount of ball Rovers had but. When it did break it seemed to be lack of communication. We seemed to push a lot of passes and mistime runs etc and so dropped the ball a lot. The penalty count was a bit worrying though - we'll have to sort that out because it can't all be down to the referee only watching one side.

The way Rovers players were dropping like flies throughout the game began to remind me of that infamous pre-season friendly against Huddersfield where our team was ruined for the rest of the season. I hope, for their sake, that those players can get back to fitness quickly. I hope Beaumont makes a full recovery too.
