I'm afraid it is. As the head coach, he may have delegated the task but not the responsibility, that remains his.

Of course it is McRea's fault why their unfit. We were the last team back in pre-season training for starters, its his job to communicate with the assistants to lets them know what areas he wants the team to focus on fitness wise i.e weights, cardio, yoga.
Another absalutely stupid thing he does with the team is trains the forwards seperate from the backs? In what way will that benifit us no other SL clubs do that? All that i can see it doing is making the team gel alot less quickly. And one more thing? Does McRea know what dumbells are? Or maybe a bench press or a squad bar? Last night we looked like little school boys compares to saints and it showed in our defence.
We really need to bulk upalot more otherwise we'll continue having players making 3 yards max then getting tackled with ease like a load of rag dolls, again another thing that happened last night quite alot. Im sure i remember chris nero being huge at Huddersfield and Bradford? what has he been put on a low carb slimming diet here or something?
Sorry when a team of that quality is playing that bad its got to be the coach who gets the blame and ultimately gets the boot!

What bothers me is, most of the players don't actually looked bothered and look as if they have no motivation at all. It can't possibly get any worse than this.

| Disorganised boys against organised men. Only one outcome!!
I thought the effort was there from several individuals, particularly Ratchford and Cashmere. Wild never stopped trying and Sidlow looked effective running wider up the right centre channel.
But without any signs of structure, organisation and tactics and without defensive organisation we were on a hiding to nothing. Why do we appear static on defence so the opposition have ten metres to play in? Why do we stand still on attack so that we have no forward momentum? Why do we defend our own line by standing a yard and a half from the line so that any attacker with forward momentum can score quite easily? Why do we wait until the twenty minute mark before bringing on our 'Impact' Prop when we needed him on after ten minutes before the game was lost for good? (even though he didn't make an impact!!) Why are the younger players with real potential not being developed as they should?
I could go on, but we all know the answer.
The players we have deserve better.
Perhaps the only questions left are 'Will he resign or will he be sacked?' and 'When?'

Quote ="Marshy1"I really do feel sorry for you supporters, despite being a Swinton lions fan I have a lot of mates who watch our number 1 super league side and quite honestly i am fed up of seeing them have their weekends spoilt by constant promises of a team purporting to be a top eight side.
Now you may not like this but perhaps not only do you need to get rid of messrs Simms and Mcrae but I would also suggest John Wilkinson should join them as well, since his tenure the team has only really had sucess when playing as a championship one club, after such a long period in charge surely he must see he has taken the club as far as he can.
Still light at the end of the tunnel, get yourselves down to the home of the Lions on Sunday and watch them put Oldham to the sword.You will get in for a ">fiver.'"
Two teams that play with pride and passion,all Salford 1st team players should be made to attend to witness total commitment.
