again tonight too many wrong options, too many overlaps missed and we end up with nil, Holdsworth again gifting position at the end of the first to put HKR in a position to score. Poor passing especially from Holdsworth, either round your feet or above the head, nobody watching the tackle, too many missed tackles and only one move. Why should we get a Franchise, crowds are down we are playing crap and the only thing we brink to rugby league is the comic style our club is run.

Didn't get there tonight what was the attendance

Think the attendance was 2097. Very poor!

a massive 2,087

What has to happen to change this club? The habit of failure is deep rooted.

For me, it is only new ownership, someone with money who can change the whole approach.

I know the Wilky lovers will disagree, and I know without him we wouldn't have a club, but he is the only contstant in decades of disappointment. He has nowhere near enough money to make a difference.

We have signed some quality players, but Salford drag them down to our level. I bet Holdsworth hasn't played as badly as that ever!

Someone said the players call it "suicide Salford", no wonder they fail here, it's like they have decided before they come.

I don't know who would be mad enough to put money into the club, but that's what it's going to take for things to change.

yes the performance was bad but the thing that p!$$ed me off was Dan Holdsworth and Ray Cashmere having a go at the fans behind the posts for giving/shouting there opinion.....the fans pay to get in so they are entitled to their opinion, bout time the players started putting as much effort in when playing as they do arguing with fans

I am surprised we got that, we are playing very poorly and 20 quid on the day is too much for the third rate performances we are getting from top rate paid overseas players, we appear to have peaked in april again and are now just going through the motions of putting the kit on and trotting out there and waiting for the end of season.

I pay to watch plays at the theatre, does that give the right to shout at the actors?

I paid to watch my daughter in a school production not so long ago, should I have shouted at the other kids who weren't very good??


I don't have a problem with fans who think shouting abuse at players is a good idea (although I do think they are generally idiots). However I do find it baffling when they get all upset when the players shout back?!

Come and shout at me at my place of employment and I'll shout back at you twice as loud.


If you think anyone who plays RL gets away without putting any effort in you've clearly never played the game.

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.
