I can read. Are you saying we can't string two good games together?

I know what you're saying but it's a difficult one to judge. The physical and emotional drain from Saturday and our oft good performance then average or bad performance the following game means I'm not that confident especially on their turf (no pun intended).

Putting together consistently good performances has being our downfall, in reality we've put two good/excellent games back to back once this season (warry away & Cas in the cup) yes you can scrape a win but it's not convincing for the fans, the players or the coach.
I'm hoping that we turn up switched on, bash them early doors and keep on bashing them, Brown is the key, we need to nail him (fairly) at the earliest opportunity and knock the stuffing out of him, as much as Ah Van is a threat Brown is a class and Widnes have some very good players all over the park.

May I jump in. In one of those moods tonight. Stringing two wins together is not the same as stringing two good games together that result in wins.

How many back to back games have we put in two excellent performances, this season it was Warry away & Cas in the cup at home, what other great back to back performances are you thinking of?
It's being touched upon on the forum often by many posters about consistency so not exactly a new phenomena is it

You've changed "good" to "excellent" I see; interesting. And said we have a pattern of playing poorly after a good win. Look at our last 9 results and show me the high-low trajectory please.

Difference is that, this weekend took nothing out of us like the derby at the KC did. The Robins didn't offer any resistance so it's a good job we're not playing one of the top teams this week or we'd have to raise our game tenfold. Widnes will be a much stiffer test so we can gradually step up in intensity.

Certainly. Will be a tough game.

oh, boo-hoo, good, excellent, it matters not, so, I'll ask again, how may back to back performances have we had this year in the normal accepted understanding of performance and which games were they?*

How many times have we played really well and then turned in a bang average performance, that's the standard 'routine' I was describing as you well know, that's how we've being for quite some years and not just under Radford hence why we've not troubled the trophy cabinet.
If you really think we've being putting in game after game performances then you are seriously out of touch.

That's why I said I hope we don't revert to that mould.
*Shaky unconvincing, scrappy wins don't count in case you're asking.

You haven't answered my question. You said we have a pattern of dropping off after good performances but provided no evidence of this oscillation in performance level. The reality is that we've been OK since Good Friday, barring a dullard effort against Huddersfield. Arguably the last four games have been our best group of performances of the season. How this supports an excellent-rubbish pattern hypothesis, I'm uncertain, but pray continue if you feel it affords you licence to trot out the tired old "years of ruin" lines. We've had 48 hours off, so it's overdue

Turn up with the right attitude and intensity we'll win this. But it does have bubble burster written all over it, hope not
