Whoo that's poor aint it 500 rovers fans there to

terrible night,shocking crowd,with at least 500 rovers there,we are a joke ,then thedimwit on the tanoy thought he would try to cheer us up by mocking our division one neighbours score at the hands of one of the best teams i have seen in british rugby league for a long time!what a t i t ,when we cant even get on the scoreboard against a team we should be matching!

Well, I reckon that for the most part tonight our defence was pretty good, it was a massive improvement on last week's performance. However, this week we lost because we didn't convert possession and territory into points - it seems we get one thing right but all the other things go wrong. What was clear to me tonight is that we need to get a new coach in place as quickly as possible, only then, will anything improve, it certainly couldn't get worse. Oh and well done Feka on a man of the match performance, he deserved it.

You should be but to be fair we have been very poor in defence but hoping that our season now turning the corner, uve got 4 great players that Shud be ripping teams to bits, very poor attendance tho

too many wrong options, one dimensional with the Holdsworth & patten combination, Ratchford wasted at centre, We have no plan B!
No atmosphere, no crowd that was poor, the real deal was there to see tonight no freebies not many takers at £20 I was shocked, fans, casual supporters are starting to vote with there feet, who can blame them!
Feka had is best game but how can you give the man of the match to a player who only plays 20 minute, Broughton by a mile some of the tackles he made & takes onto the ball for a full 80 minutes.

Great posts, but have you anything to say on the attendance?

I've already said poor attendance

Fair play to feka tonight,that is more of hat i think we have all come to expect of him,ratch deffo wasted at ,no tries have come through the channel with him and jodie since catalans game note too! houldsworth deffo not coping,why are our forwards so weak especially for the size of some of them?Why why why do we never try the chip over the top,especially when losing 18-0 in a cup game or at least something a bit different than the houldsworth paten combination that every team has no sussed out?could go on and on like many of us on here,but whats the point!! still we keep going to the club we all love even though there was prob only 1500 of us there tonight!

at least you're not Swinton

A dreadful second half from Salford...we looked like a team of strangers with no-one pulling the strings and organising. as "Always behind the Sticks" has said our failure to score when dominating came back to haunt us. Stood where i was in the shed it seems that Holdsworth is this seasons scapegoat for all our ills. He has been poor for a while but it is starting to feel like it did with Luke Dorn...Tonight we just did not respond when HKR stepped up the pace and that was a team thing not an individual failing by Holdsworth. Improvements all round needed Salford..or our final season at the willows will be memorable for the wrong reasons.

Surgery required.

Matty Smith to Captain.

DJ to Loose forward.

Vin to Australia.

Ratch to Stand Off.

Coach to have players lined out on a deep line so they are all running onto the ball. Woeful flat RL currently

A Coach required to produce moves - run arounds, pi$$ offs, dummy runners, angle running, face balls etc etc - moves from the scrum.

We are not only boring to watch but oh so predictable.

Enter the Surgeon please asap.

is it ok for the captain of the team to turn round and tell a fan to f*ck off because he doesnt like being criticized

How PV can publicly say "yeh I'm in the running" is beyond me. Oh wait, it isnt, he wouldnt mind a big fat salary. He hasn't brought one visible change to the:
Player Positions
Style of play
Attacking Options
Plan B
Defence.

He's played it safe exactly like SM did. The only thing he did was drop L Adamson to bench (like SM did in 2007) then realised how hard Adamson grafts and communicates then went back on his decision... If that's really were his attentions are focused then he's got less of a clue than the manic depressive clown that was last in charge.

I agree with original poster about new owners being our only hope. One thing I will say is, I hope the new stadium is the catalyst for exactly that.
We can't afford two things next year IMO.
Players who have played there best and are looking to hide away in a smaller club. And a manager with the same mindset AKA SM

(btw Shaun 400 games under your fat belt means nothing if your now rubbish, which you are. Alex Ferguson could maybe get away with saying that but not you.... Bye bye and thanks for taking our club and young talent back 5 years)

On the player note I would rather have a squad half the size with Adamsons. Jewits, sneyds, boyles, etc than our current squad with big named washed out has beens. Same for a coach. Young. Hungry with fresh ideas. PLEASE.


Brainless.

Dunno what happened there but well said.

If I could waste a few million I would but Salford RLFC has been 'kept' for far too long now, hopefully the new ere will finally see off the deadwood.

Don't think there was that many of you tbh,We brought over about 1000,
Our end was full behind the sticks.

If the actors were incapable of performing the basics i.e. remembering the lines - you would have every right to shout.

Kids are not elite athletes who get paid to perform for your pleasure - no crowd no job.

If you didn't perform at work would you not consider criticism valid and I doubt in that situation you would be doing much shouting back.

You are buying a product - entertainment - if you feel that product is faulty you have every right to voice your concerns?

All most supporters want is their team to perform to their potential - if they do that and still lose most fans will accept it - it is when they don't that fans get frustrated.

For 37 minutes we were in the game tonight,and I thought we were in with a chance. Then the wheels fell off again!!.Second half ,Rovers seemed to step up a gear and we had no answer.It was back to 5 [very poor drives and a kickThey wer up on us as soon as we played the ball, so could make no yards at all.Enthusiasm drained out of the players .Why oh why ,when we are so far behind, dont they try something different, such as a short kick through and chase, or straight from the scrum on the first tackle , kick downfield for JB to chase.
Fed up now.

To be honest you cant expect a big gate when when your getting nilled at home what concerns me veivers was brought in as defence coah and we are averageing 50 points a game. You aint going to attact supporters when we are getting stuffed every game. This will be looked at in dran hise which i dont think we will get. Avaraging a gat of 3,000 proves we aint going forward. I just dont think we ate good enough and if veievers gets job i would wonder where next win is. We are so predictable in a attack the opposition defence dont have to learn a lot to defend against us as we only seem to have one plan. We never try chip over the top or anything and are passing is attrousious. What does the club do in training we can tackle we always give away silly penalties which always result in concedeing 6 points. When are we going to get a team that plays good rugby as we never look like scoring. So is it any wonder why we ger 2000 plus fans. Who is going pay £20 to come and watch rubbish. The club promise big things and then the season starts so cant see this club ever moving forward. Which depresses the hell out of me

It IS as bad as it gets at the moment. A season full of promise has completelty disintegrated. Coach(es) gone, players underperforming, crowds dwindling. Cup run over, no chance of top eight finish and we're not even in June yet.

I've wasted enough money for this season. I'll turn up for the final game and then I'll have a think about whether I'm going to risk suffering another false dawn in a new stadium.... or finally escape from the torment and just pack it all in.

Did the performances against HKR and Bradford at home really happen?

Well, on a positive note, nobody can deny the passion on show from the contributors on here.

I think what we are seeing is a direct consequence of lacking direction. As much as I like PV the Club and players know that he is just a stand-in. Fans and Players seem to lack any confidence at the moment and it highlights exactly why we need that head coach appointment asap. To be honest, it doesn't really matter who it is. A new approach, fresh ideas, and for the players a clean slate to take the Club forward.

Come on Salford, get someone in before this slide becomes terminal.

Let's get real.
A try either side of half time killed us,and the game.
We did well in the first half and ,after 25 minutes,texted my mate and told him it was "all Salford".
But.....I am a Holdsworth fan but he is off form.Deal with it,it happens.
Feka has come into form.
That's sport!
We desperately need a new coach with new ideas.
In the meantime ,playing Stef at 6,if he's leaving at the end of the season would be a backward step.We have tried that and it isn't the answer.
And finally,Mr Wilkinson would love an even richer multi millionaire to take the club off his hands!

I certainly don't have a problem with it. Depends on what was said to/shouted at him first I suppose.

A fan stood near to me shouted "come on reds, do you know what wembley means?" in the direction of the players just after the first try and holdsworth decide to turn round and tell that fan to 'f**k off', so other fans started shouting at holdsworth and cashmere turned round and shouted back "shut the 'f**k' up...you 'f**king' come on if you think you can do better".
Seems some of the aussies don't like a bit of criticism, well done to matty smith and stef ratchford though who tried to cool things down a bit.
