[/youtube]Maybe, just maybe people are just happy and enjoying the win and performance.
They maybe don't feel the need to vent their frustration or analyise the performance this week unlike some who like to come on here, have cheap digs and boast about how much beer they can drink and what super fans they are
I thought for 70 minutes or so we were outstanding and Wigan uncharacteristically were poor in parts coughing up cheap ball.
The performance yesterday was everything as fans we've been crying out for, win lose or draw and for me Grix deserves a lot of praise.
you have to laugh at some of the old faithful on here.
yes we played well with one or two outstanding individual performances but as mentioned Wigan made so many errors,some partly due to our aggression and kick chase yet no one has mentioned just how important was our on field discipline in getting the win.
It makes so much difference when you dont concede a penalty on the first /second tackle after finishing a set in the opposition 10/20 and then go on to give away either another penalty or a six again which usually led to a try.
The other factor was we turned Wigan around 3 or four times something we should be doing a lot more untill we have the cutting edge to open teams up in the oppossition 20.
Its plain to see that Grix has got us fitter with a better defensive structure and our attacking line was deeper,so he has to be commended for that but it is his job after all and its certainly taken time for the penny to drop on the Indiscipline issue.
Lets hope we can continue to be competitive for the rest of the season. My concern is that apathy has kicked in big time with FC supporters but my opinion is unless the club can pull off some major signings of exciting players with the quotas thay have they will struggle to win back the lost fans.
