ALL TIME LOW LAST NIGHT

No Skill
No Flair
No Idea
No Team
No Aggression
NO Motivation
No Passion
No Game Plan
No Ambition
No Crowd


I dont know what the quick fix answer is I only wish I did.

At the start of this season I was expecting and hoping for a change out on the paddock some skill, flair and most of all attacking play.

Thats's not happened and sadly I can't for the life of me see where our first win is going to come from now.

No more away games for me this season attending home fixtures is going to be hard enough.


KEEP THE FAITH - THAT'S NOT GOING TO WASH THIS SEASON

I've watched Salford since the early 70's so have witnessed this scenario many times. What saddens me is the fact that having finished in the top 6 twice during the Super league era that the club has never capitalised on this and really progressed and yet the likes of Hull KR, Huddersfield, Castleford and Wakefield have.

In this day and age I really can't understand why the club doesn't have a substantial retail site. Surely there are some ex pats who would possibly like to purchase merchandise. The gates on a Friday night are in decline. (Don't Friday nights kinda defeat the object of summer rugby?). I could never understand why they don't play on a Sunday afternoon. If they clash with football, why not move the KO and show the football on a big screen in the club? I see little or no promotion of any Salford game outside the boundary of Salford. Come on guys, if an ice hockey team can attract 10,000 for a game surely we can do better than 3000 and generate much needed income.

Friday nights were brought in as this seemed to suit the corporate lot better.
However since Trish left I have not seen a lot of that at the club now.
Sundays would suit a lot of people and away fans will be intersting to see the crowd on the Sunday games we have this year (that is if there are any of us left)
I live in Prestwich and even here there is no promotion of the club, even though there is supposed to be a Salford Academy set up.
JW needs to get his head out of the sand and get somethinhg done quick.

just been to the gym and all the team was in there. They all seemed happy and together so at least team spirit is ok. One thing i did notice though was everyone was there and just about to start, guess who turned up late? our assistant coach malc, showing a good example.

In 2007 Hudds lost their first 7 matches and ended up in the playoffs. I'm trying hard to find positives and thats the only one I can come up with

Ive actually posted this on another thread but think its relevent here:

I think some people have short memories - whilst Im not sayin our coach is doing well at the moment, we used to regularly get stuffed by 50 or 60 in the super league days under john harvey, andy greg, even karl harrison. At least thats not happened too often recently

I dont know why some people expect us to win the league with the the smallest playing budget in the league.

Also, I heard so many people on the stands last night , saying the players were not fit to wear the shirt etc etc......maybe they are trying 100%, but are just not good enough? In which case.......no matter how hard we try....we battling a losing cause...and bringing in a new coach would not help if the players just dont have the quality

SO many people on this thread saying 'the players look short on confidence...blah blah blah'...are you surprised? 2 out of 3 home games this year theyve been boo'ed off!!! I suspect certain 'fans' are knocking the young lads confidence more so than our coach.

By all means, boo off the coach,.....show him your nto happy.....but the players appear to be trying...even though they may not be good enough....at least show them were behind them and we WANT them to do well....give them an incentive

when we used to get stuffed....the players still got clapped off......dont know whats happened to a lot of salford fans since those days...last night though (as much as i was totally gutted about the pefroamce) I was more gutted we didnt get behind the lads as they left the field looking totally dejected.

ha ha. You're clutching at straws with this one.

Rd 1 H St Helens 10-18
2 A Bradford 14-18
3 H Hull KR 10-17
4 A Leeds 12-16
5 H Hull 12-16
6 A Catalans 22-23
7 H Salford 16-18

I think it was more a case of being shafted by the computer.
