| OP a bit harsh I think. We were off our game in the defensive intensity stakes for sure and we did make some crucial errors. Had we scored from the break down the right and had Tansey found touch the HT score would have been 18-12. Ifs and buts but we are talking fine margins. Wigan were excellent and given their dominance of the possession I would expect them to be dangerous. The rucks appeared to be policed at two different speeds which didn't help us at all either. Agree Radford was pretty average but I also thought Berro looked slow and Cusack was a bit laboured. ATEOTD no team can withstand possession dominance of that kind. We played the top of the league away where we rarely win anyway and shipped a few but kept on playing to the end. When we had some possession towards the end of the game as Alibert rolled out the penalty evening up phase we looked reasonably dangerous. Not good but no shambles IMO.

| Quote ABP'="ABP'"I thought Hull's discipline was very poor. Very slow around the ruck and loads of niggling at the PTB, however Alibert didn't control things brilliantly. He should have called both captains as we were guilty of a bit of messing about too, but he allowed it to carry on.
On a postive note, I thought Horne, Long and Fitzgibbon looked good and your following was very good for a Friday night.'"
The ruck was policed at two different speeds. Hull received one or two penalties for holding down maximum. Wigan were very good with ball in hand and for 60 minutes that is more or less what they had.

| Quote TKOAH="TKOAH"Get a grip for crying out loud, we were not that poor but Wigan were awesome and the speed they played at was incredible. We were always going to find it tough tonight, this is the first time the Wigan players have had to show McGuire they have what it takes to move on following a defeat, they beat us in the tackle for 95% of the game which led to numerous penalties, most of which led to tries or repeat sets.
Yes we weren't at our best but it will take a bloody good side to beat Wigan on that form.'"
Sorry, but I'm entitled to an opinion and mine is that our attitude and energy was poor in a game where we should have been fired up as top spot was at stake. Our forwards failed to get on top. Our discipline was atrocious. We lost the ball in poor positions and failed to make touch with penalties twice. Our backs were shown up defensively out wide. I appreciate that Wigan are the form team, but come on, we had only one injury and only got 18 of our 24 points when Wigan had put the cue on the rack. To have nearly 50 put past us isn't really something we should be merely shoulder-shrugging about. IMO.

| IMO for you to play us after losing our first game with a tough new coach and losing in the way we did, meant that it was the worst time ever for you to play us.
You will be in the top 5 at least IMO which obviously is a huge improvement on last year. Richard Horne looked immense for you tonight, I have never rated him before just thought he was average nothing to shout about but my heart was in my mouth everytime he had the ball tonight.
Good luck for the rest of the season.

| I think you're being a little hard on yourselves.
At 12 - 6 you split us (Wigan) open with some superb rugby but didn't take the final pass.
Then just before half time you failed to find touch, we got a good bounce for Roberts to score.
Then in the second half we got a little lucky with Sam Tomkins second try.
It's a long season and you will get the run of the ball in some games (I hope it's not against us)
Good luck for the rest of the season, come and have a chat when we are in the Brickmakers prior to our visit.
Richard Horne was brilliant for you tonight.

| Almost every try in the first half was because of giving them a penalty in their own 30, terrible discipline.

| Just got back and feeling completely pesimistic.
A very poor performance by FC tonight. The right hand side got pummelled in defence. However, that does not warrant an excuse to give awaystupid, needless penelties or make ridiculous mistakes in dangerous areas of the field. I wasn't expecting a win tonight, but a performance would have been nice. Why did Long feel the need to pass the ball to someone else to kick in the first half? Still concerned about his hamstring? If so, shouldn't have been anywhere near the starting team.
Horne did well tonight, as did Houghton. Something has to change before next weekend otherwise we can expect the same thing.

| We won't win many games away from home as far as I can see, we may have beaten St's but the last two performances would have seen us lose to anyone on our travels.

TBH I thought Alibert in parts was playing to the crowd.
Wigan fans was like the scousers at one point , booing every tackle Hull made.
