To be fair to saddened he maybe a little more positive now Gaskells not playing.
I suggest this wins prize for panic of the season. Don;t think the Wakey fans where this depressed when they were told they had gone into administraton.

Alright I overegged the score a little by predicting 32, but it was always an away banker this one.
Saints IMO need to wake up. Alright the focus might be on next season and launching the new stadium with new players and new optimism, but this season has the potential to do tremendous damage financially if they keep performing like that tonight. I heard plenty saying 'never again' as they walked away, a friend of mine said he's done with it for this season, and he's a season ticket holder who lives in Widnes.
I thought Quins were excellent tonight, a snapshot of everything we used to be. Hard working, dynamic and inventive. Their half backs were superb and their forwards, despite all being very limited players, combined superbly and thoroughly outperformed Saints international pack. Tonight was another example of a team holding back because they aren't familiar with the position they found themselves in. Had Quins really gone for it in the second half they could have humiliated us tonight.
For 75 minutes that was the worst I have ever seen Saints play at home. You optimists will still try to paper over the cracks but the facts are we're thoroughly average now. The last of the greats has gone and it's mid table mediocrity from here on in, UNLESS the board pull their cheque book out and sign SIX OR SEVEN established players.
granted it was post quins but the rush to dump the youth and buy in was a little OTT. In the end the removal of one almost established player solved the teams issues.
Is that irony, i'm never sure.
