I can't see us lasting more than 3 years with how the club is being run, this penny watching mentality will kill us off! We were fine the willows as that was our ground we were safe! Now were paying rent at a stadium where we need an average of 8000 or we will struggle! While we have a budget of a championship club we're at risk of dying a slow death! And before people come on saying wilkinson would sell if a buyer was there, well John if your reading this get out there and look for a buyer! Otherwise I can't see us surviving much longer!!

Truly terrible. Lack of discipline ,awful tackling,poor handling , lack of effort------I could go on.

Why did it take 70 minutes before we started playing rugby ????????????????????
Pathetic , utterly pathetic first half






I am bemused-








Why isnt Long on the sidelines geeing the players up instead of sitting up in the stands????

At least we won the second half again...

the rugby club was not "owner occupier" at The Willows - the ground was sold some years back to Watson Godliman Homes

In the end it was bad discipline AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!! that cost us that match. 2 needless , stupid , penalties in the dying minutes in front of the sticks was the difference in the scoreline..Changes needed next week otherwise it will be a total embarresment.

Owen in for Wagga is a must. We play much better RL with Howarth/Owen from dummy half.

Lets not over react.

We are a loyal bunch us Salford fans. No matter how much we moan we have the odd idiot who says they wont turn up at the next game.

In all honesty though, I have never seen a lesser lack of effort in any game for many years. Very dissapointing.

Jewitt was didgraceful at the end,he let himself and your club down.Especially as you nearly snatched it.

Gleeson also has no defence, and opposition teams are taking full advantage of our weaknesses.

Owen in for wagga what a load of crap, do you even watch rugby league you blame that performance on wagga selection. Wagga was on 18 mins salford had not 1 attacking play. He smashed every one who come near him, the tackle which gave him concussion he put his head infrount of a props knee to stop him scoring. Tell ya mate you ain't got a clue about rugby.

Not blaming him solely for that dire display. Just think Owen offers more.
And Ive seen Owen dump some pretty big forwards on their backsides as well.
Maybe the better option would be Owen and Wagga interchanging ???

And also on the Howarth comment, when salford eventually got on top do you even recall 1 run from dummy half???? From quick plays aswell!! No!! Have you seen the shape of the ball from his passing??? I recall 2 salford attacks near wakefields line when he actually passed it over smiths head!

Take your point on owen though he does scoot from dummy half, when he come on as impact against a tiring defense. Wagga starts and does the hard stuff first. Also this is only his 3rd game this season. Fans have the shortest memories, wagga was one of the top performers from last season and got a freak injury in first game. That first 20mins today salford didnt even touch ball so how can wagga scoot, would have Owen done any different??

Max - as Waggas agent you are doing him a disservice. I never suggested Howarth was a scooter - he gets the line moving though. I am not anti Wagga - more pro Owen at the moment as more attacking options come from Owen & Howarth currently.

Ha sorry maybe I am to pro wagga. Let's just hope for a better performance next week who ever is playing.. Vievers is under pressure now! Love rugby love different opinions that's why we have a top game

Hooker should be Wagga and Owen with Howarth either on bench and interchanging with Wild or just not selected and I'd like to see Sneyd playing a few games instead of Holdsworth. Once again he had no idea what to do and the fact that Gibson had to slow down for him to get the try shows how unfit the fella is. Hopefully he'll see just how important the position is and it might give him the kick up the backside that he needs. As for fullback, anyone wo knows how to tackle and position himself correctly would do for me. Patten, with the exception of his attacking abilities, is one of the poorest fullbacks we've had. Yes he'll be missed next season in the attacking lineup but atleast we might have a fullback who's in the right position and communicating with the team. Last line of defence is vital!

Or to look at it from a different perspective.
Holdsworth went from defence to backing up Gibson,who is quick.
That shows how fit Holdsworth is.
If he has no idea then how come he put Nero through the gap and ,I think,gave the long pass for Gibson to score?
Patten is not the best defensive full back we've had,not in Gary Broadbents class, but he more than makes up for it in attack where he's one of the best.
Starting with Feka doesn't work,you need the energy that James or Jewitt has ,to create the right platform early on.
Patten and Holdsworth need a platform and did well when we gave them one.

Sky will not have sold any dishes.On the back of that,tonight.I am sorry to say it,we are going worse.Vievers can have
no crib,because he new what was coming, we are a laughing stock.I am also sorry to say,I will not be going to the
Leeds game.maybe If more stayed away,the powers that be,might start to run the club professionally.I don't think
Wilkinson will be walking out at Wembley this year.

People wonder why we fail to attract new and dormant support, Well tonight was the perfect example. Again another camp and woeful performance in front of the sky camera's, thats the best i can describe these bunch of forwards "CAMP". At least the backs tried to fling the ball about due to the lack of punch. The pack should be ashamed of themselves especially Nero and Jewitt. PV's aim was to improve every week well he's failed BIGTIME, it's evident the tactical ploy's have altered offensively and defensively, Smith isn't controlling the game he looks shot of confidence at the minute lacking dial and nouse with a shocking kicking game. Houldsworth and Patten drift in and out the game to much and we're heavily reliant on these two, we look out of shape defensively lacking cohesion and steel. The squad looks flustered and unsettled to me to which Phil Clarke touched upon. " Salford forwards look like they've nothing to play for" summed the whole thing up for me, top eight, NEVER with our louis spence forwards.

Gary Broadbent.......... how many international caps did he gain? Erm Erm None.....

Paul Charlton makes Broadbent look amateur.

You lot want to get a grip, I'd give my right arm to have the Lions playing top flight Rugby league and be protected for three years. It's not that long ago when many of you were claiming top eight status was a formality and to be honest the way you played against St Helens( I know you eventually lost) it probably wasn't a bad shout. Well ok so you now have gone four losses on the bounce but you do have some half decent lads and believe me that is hard to say comming from a swinton fan, tonight you met a team who knew they had to win and your lads only started to play in the last twenty minutes at which point you looked the better side, a bit more composure and you would have won that game. I almost get the feeling that it's getting to the point of shouts for Vievers to go, which would be a mistake as you look a far better team under him than you ever did under the previous two incumbents. You really need to get behind the lads at times like this.

Big well done to the travelling support who never resorted to booing the players,especially at half-time,and were nearly rewarded at the end.
Bad day at the office.They have a free weekend coming up and we are carrying injuries.They have also recently added to their squad with Sykes - number 34 !
Hopefully the players will reward those travelling supporters with a performance next Sunday.

I was being ironic.

Paul Charlton was the best I've seen.

What a performance! A total embarrassment.

These examples of complete incompetence are what's keeping regulars away, never mind failing to attract new fans.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Good riddance to Patten, his defence is a JOKE.
Feka is a complete goon. Giving a penalty on the sixth tackle is UNFORGIVABLE
Our forwards are LIGHTWEIGHT. A Wakefield side that has been described by their own Coach as 'being pushed around every week' totally dominated us.
Smith is playing like he's already signed up somewhere else for next season.
Moon has been dragged down to the standard of the players he's surrounded by.
Owen, (One of the few highlights this season) DROPPED!!!!

I could go on, but it's there for all to see. WE ARE CRAP.
