Salford back to their usual ways. Crap defence, same old same old.......

Nothing will change until the full spendature of the salary cap happens and the club can afford quality players.

thank you for that encouraging post

only 2 games gone and its blaming time. get a grip.Are you John (from salford by any chance). could be worse, we could support Wigan

or Warrington

John from Salford phoned up from home yesterday asking for McRae to be sacked and Ellery to be the new coach..

The signal kept breaking up, but I thought he said something about spending a lot of money to get there, implying that he was actually at the match.

We were on the motorway near Leeds when he was on, he couldn't have got home before 6 if he stayed to the end.

It isn't you is it?

I think I was approaching the motorway when he came on. The signal was a bit shaky, so I didn't pick up everything he was saying. It sounded like he was having a real moan, though, and saying we wouldn't win an away game all season.

I'm [ia[/i John From Salford, but not [ithe[/i John From Salford.

To be honest I wouldn't be at all suprised if we didn't win an away game all season!

You have 3 years guarenteed in Superleague. The whole point of this is to allow teams to develop, how can you expect instant success!
Why spend more of the salary cap......so teams can sign over-rated aussies that keep youngsters out of the team?
You have some great youngsters coming through the ranks, so be patient and give them time!!!

So [iyou're[/i John From Salford!!!!

I am not dismissing that. I am just saying that I don't think we will win an away game.

No not quite becasue I tend to go to all Salford games.

i'd bet on you winning Celtic, wigan, warrington etc. Think you've alredy shown that your attack can rip open weaker defences!

Wigan, Warrington?



You being serious! They are just having a bad spell, I would happily bet on both of them teams finishing above Salford and Wakefield this season.

Warringtons bad spell appears to have been going on for the past 4 yrs.
As long as we win the majority of our home games and maybe the odd away I will be happy.
I remember the first season back after our last relegation I think we amassed the huge total of 13 points

i think we have to be realistic.if we won say 9or 10 at home and sneked a win away that would be about 20 points and that wouldnt be a bad return for us.i know realism is boring!

As long as we target our home games and anything we get away would be a bonus is the way I see it.

it annoy's me when people say we should target home games. Whats the point in playing away games then? whats the point in us fans shelling money out to go watch away games if we have the mind set of 'oh it's away from home, lets just try and keep it as close as possible and not embarress ourselves'

You think it is realistic to say we can win 10 out of 13 home games?

we were just coming off the motorway at swinton when we heard him.he sounded like he was in his house. i think the GMR know he talks boll**ks as they couldnt wait to cut him off. i knew before the game yesterday it would be tough, i cannot see many teams coming away from the ASS stadium especially when they are at full strength. But i for one will still be at cas next week cheering on the reds. i think that we are like my beloved blue boys and cannot win away from home

Give your team time. This season will be an adjustment season and you've already had one win, which is better than Wigan, Warrington and Celtic!

I Thought we'd have a thread like this started. Feck its only the second game of the season alright we played sh*te but we need to learn from the mistakes and focus on the next game end of. I fail to see how people can say thats it same old sh*t and we will not win an away game.

For one minute I dont think we will be world beaters but as long as the team show commitment and improvement then I think we will pick up a few suprise wins home and away.

We play away games for parity. Not for any other reason.

It's not a mindset it's just being a realist. We, in theory, should have a better chance at winning home games which is why clubs will base their whole decision-making process on the back of Home and away performances. You start to lose more than two Home games on the bounce and fans start to question. Two away games? Not the same reaction. From a Clubs point of view targeting home fixtures makes real sense on many levels.

People are not suggesting you shouldn't attend away fixtures, it's just that in our position we are not looking to win many away games. We are a newly promoted side and we have not had a credible side that can challenge for anything for quite a while now in the top flight. Sorry to say, but true.
