Credit where credit’s due, FC fully deserved the win today. A side lacking in quality but full of guts and derermination, that’s what got them over the line.

Some poor performances today. As much as Eckersley has been lauded over recent weeks, he looked out of sorts for most of today and its possibly time to take him out for a week.

Apart from knocking on once, what did he do wrong?

If you don’t bring your A game you are likely to get burned.

Credit to Hull for their win and performance.

No team can play well every week, we were poor. It was the errors that did us more than anything. We only really played for about 15 mins and came away with a 2 point loss.

I don’t think any individual deserves particular criticism, it was just a collective poor game, it happens. Move on and don’t dwell on it.

All the top teams have games like that every season. Nothing for you guys to be concerned about. I don't think you were terribly poor, Hull started very fast and were positive and aggressive and you just didn't quite match that. Then when you were on the back foot the errors started to creep in. I'm sure you will shake that performance off immediately.

Well played to Hull, deserved the win and showed some real enthusiasm in defence and attack.



One of those games for Wigan where we make too many errors under pressure at times from Hull and never got into the game.

Eckersley looked a real threat running out wide and showed some nice cut out passes too, just needs a bit of work on defence but looks a real prospect for the next few years.

Surprised we only used Bryne so sparingly, he showed some real aggression when he came on which was good to see.

In the scheme of things it will give us a nice wake up call to keep up the effort and concentration over the last half of.the season.

66% completion rate, 16 errors tells the tale. https://www.superleague.co.uk/match-centre/report/4490 We always seem to have one or two of these games per year. Wakefield away last year being a prime example. Fair play to Hull, that score doesn't do them justice.

Sickness ravaged the camp yesterday. Half a dozen players were shouting to Huey and Ralph in the dressing room before the match.

It makes a lot of sense looking at that performance.

That would explain a lot.

Hmm, watching on Sky and we commented that a few looked "green around the gills" from the beginning.

Do we have any evidence as such, Harry Smith put it down to "one of those days" on WiganTV.

Danger is it sounds like sour grapes, either way, Hull played well and got the best out of Walker, Sutcliffe and Trueman.
