Well, it could have been worse. Barrow and Whitehaven should have put us to bed so we could so easily have been way behind on 6 points but there's still hope.

Maybe now is the opportunity to make wholesale changes off the field as well as on it. It won't be long before the November 2023 accounts will be published on Companies House and I'm guessing the previous year's net liabilities of £351k will be even worse. We can't carry on like this. Let the Council sell the white elephant aka the Shay for lucrative building development and give Town and Fax a juicy share to develop their own much smaller stadium also creating other income streams. Preferably on existing sports grounds (eg Ovenden). Otherwise it will be same old same old turning up to an empty Shay season after season with a progressively weaker team with the same old fans whinging about the coach!

That late shot that effectively cost us the game was a complete joke,nothing in it at all.I do bemoan our discipline but its hard when refs like Vella seem to play different rules.TBF we got the rub on many of his eccentric calls.

York were flirting with relegation last season but won 10 out of their last 11 matches to even sneak into the play offs. We live in hope!

The ref certainly made some strange decisions but was as bad for both sides.

We made some basic errors that cost us position.
Finn says they talk about making a better start but its time they did.
Defend like the lads did for most of the second half and we would not be in the position we are.
I was always told that if you defend well the attack has the chance to win you games. We just don`t seem to put the required effort into the first 20 minutes.
It is going to be hard to turn it around now we are in the bottom two.

On a dfferent tack should Ed have been awarded a penalty try for that high shot?

Like as already been said Widnes came out of the blocks with far more intent than us and exposed our right edge for all of their scores. We came back by exposing their right edge in the first half but seemed to go away from this in the second half. The Graham break when his pass just couldn't be taken in by Woody didn't help. All in all when you keep giving sides big starts you will lose far more then you win and now we find ourselves in the bottom 2. We are in a real mess and i do not have confidence in the players to get us out of this mess or Finn as coach but we are stuck with them so it is down to them to gets us out of it.

Anybody know what Gilmore / Widnes was penalised for when being dragged into touch?

On Radio Merseyside they said Gilmore dragged a Fax defender off the Widnes player that was being dragged into touch.

It was Gilmore who was in possession and him being dragged into touch and he offloaded to his teammate whilst still being in the field of play.

But as you say the ref when challenged after the incident by Gilmore and at half time when leaving the pitch by the Widnes coaching staff indicated someone had pulled / obstructed a Fax player, didn’t see anything at the time and if it had been earlier in the play when Gilmore first picked up and took off the question is why the penalty wasn’t taken further down the field where it had taken place.
Have to watch it back to see what went on but looked a strange one even by some of today’s standards. :thumb:

if we go down am guessing all contracts are void which will mean a total rebuild and the only way i can see us getting rid of finn seen as the board aint got the balls to admit they have made a massive mistake
