So glad we put on a good show tonight, some of the players leave on a real high. John Wilshire was my man of the match, great defensive display, he cut off the options when Leeds had an overlap several times in the second half and certainly kept us in the game.

100% effort, and you can't ask for more than that.

The last try from Salford was one of the best we have scored this season, don't know how many players were involved, but set up initially by Robbie Paul, and Wilshire dancing round the Leeds winger before giving him a push, then Ratchford to score.

Just wish the players had come over to the fans quicker ( but that's just me being selfish!)

Great perfomance proud of all the players tonight, our forward took the game to them, not going to talk about the ref; other than to say he must have been paid well!
Can we have a whip round to keep John Wilshire, what a pity he missed the easy kick, I think the missed kick changed the game when we were still on top.

Well done Salford tonight you made me feel proud.

i thought it was a great performance and things could have gone our way with a few more ref decisions in our favour and things might have been different if wilsheres pen had of gone over,here comes the moan......thought some of the players couldnt wait to get off the pitch,why didnt they walk along in front of the shed and was worried to see big ray out of everyone get off so quick!!great effort by the shed though tonight and loved the myler song!come on slug and silver fox get some good recruiting done for next year now!!
KEEP THE FAITH

Thought we put in a good performance against a class side.
I am never one to complain about Refs but Msr Halibut should not be put in charge of a kids game never mind a SL match.
Why do we keep getting the clown.

Very concerned about Cashmeres sudden departure,maybe he was injured and wanted treatment ?
Nash is on his way, not given a new contract and by all accounts it was handled very badly by the club.
Dont know if anyone else mentioned this but Fitzy seemed to be saying goodbye.He was shaking everones hand, having pictures taken and was the last one off the pitch.
So 6 of the squad have definitely gone and possibly 3 more may go.
So far we have 1 confirmed new signing.
Worried,you bet I am.

The report on Sky called it a long range solo try by Ratchford - a bit hard on the rest f the guys involved - noably Wilshire and Paul.



I got the impression that the Shed has been sent to the naughty corner by the team.

Also the rest of us who were stood on the terracing between the the Shed and the North Stand.
We saw a great game on the field tonight but I went off home feeling more than a bit peed off with things, the players at the end of the game, the guy on the mike at half time, is it me who`s had a bad day or the club.

It was a letdown that the players couldn't muster themselves into walking even half way down the shed, especially after leaving the fans waiting for so long. A lot of people looked a bit disgruntled. T'was a tad disrespectful I think...

in my 10 years of going to the willows every game i was very surprised with the very poor organisation of the last game of the season the players took pictures near the variety end then split up spoke to family friends an some fans then as they would usually do come along the side of the shed to get cheered and thanked for this season but where left surprised that one by one jogged off the field with a little clapping at hand thanks a lot when we come week in week out to watch you play.

Cracking game tonight held their own for most of 1st half, very pleased with the performance & hope it was the way things will go next season.

as for the players going off without doing a lap of thanks as said above, maybe they thought "up yours for all the abuse we have taken this season" & chose not to parade infront of the shed incase they got spat on or thrown things at them as had happened on a few ocassions this season.
Just a thought

I was quite impressed by your lot tonight. Gave us a right game and that try at the end was one of the best I have seen this season.
More impressive was your defence in the second half when we were camped on your line, to keep us to just 3 tries in that half given the amount of defending that you did was good.
If your players had been able to keep hold of any of them 2 interception attempts we might not have won.
Great game over all. Still not sure what Webb was trying to do when he manged to get himself tackled into touch despite fielding the ball in the middle of the park.

Got to admit that I was surprised, and disappointed, the way the players left the pitch last night bearing in mind that were a number of them who were making their final appearances in a Red shirt. Instead of just a small wave next to the players entrance which was barely visible to the supporters at the far end of the shed the players should have been assembled in the middle of the pitch and announced one by one as they made their exits. Perhaps the ones who were making their final bow at the Willows could have even taken the mic and said a few words which everyone could have seen and heard which I'm sure would gave gone down very well with the Salford faithfull. It would have crowned an otherwise excellent night with both players and supporters contributing to a
very entertaining game.

sorry shed but most of you have given abuse to the players all season so you cant be surprised they didnt come over..

fair comment,but most have NOT,either home or away......obviously counts for nowt then,

but its the HAVE'S who get heard, sorry for the fans who dont give abuse may be you need to stand some where else.

We were .

we were stood near the variety centre and shook most of the players hands. Glad i got to say goodbye to stapo. Like people have said it seemed like that was fitzy's last game the way he was saying bye to everyone.

What a load of sanctimonious bull.

If professional sportsmen can't take a bit of name calling/criticism from general know-nowts then they are in the wrong profession. It comes with the territory in this day and age. And don't say "would you put up with it in your job?" They know what to expect and take the good times quickly and easy enough. They have a choice what to do for a living as we all do.

yes and some chose to ignore you lot.

what a muppet u are do you now how cringeful you sound... mayb its these fans what are keepin the club running spending there hard earned money and urll tellin me the club and players shunt appreciate that by coming over to the shed and say thank you for your support fans like me who stand in the shed have been there all season win lose or draw...

i was very impressed by the stewards and officials i thought they were very helpful,and also the salford fans applauding leeds off too.
after recent events nice to see.

moment of the match for me was fitzy's try saving tackle on lautiti. body on the line. got up a bit wobbly and with a limp and went straight in on the next tackle... brilliant

It is nothing to do with the players being criticized it is the abuse that their families(including wives and children)have received from people in certain areas and I have seen it and heard it over the years and it makes me embarrassed at times.

Some of the know-nowt's hurl beer,verbal abuse at the players/families one week and then want to shake their hands the next,that is pathetic which ever way you look at it.

It should not come with the territory in this day and age and it is allowed because some misguided people, including the know-nowts are allowed to prevail.

Thought you were the better side and have to admit that we got some fairly dubious decisions.

Like to take this opportunity to thank all the Salford fans for their hospitality and look forward to coming back to the Willows next year.

Do you really think that the ones who slag and abuse are the same ones that are going to bother to hang around 15 minutes after the end of a defeat in the hope of thanking players for their efforts?



I'm not sure where this has happened but I don't think that the wives and children stand in the Shed.


It's unfortunate that after a really entertaining game that we're talking about the lap of honour (that I freudianly called a [ilack[/i of honour last night), but it's kind of apt given the number of PR balls ups that the club has managed this season.
