We usually get a hiding from this lot over Easter, but maybe things will change, like they did today!

God knows what team we will put out, i expect Simpson to sit it out, to say he had it tough would be an understatement, Tansey has done OK upto now and i would expect him to start at FB, will anyone be dropped? Eorl could come back in, but for who?
One thing i do know, is that if we lose this one, then PA really will be under pressure, a lot of our fans' blood pressures will be dangerously high and we can hope that Fax, Batley and Dewsbury all get into the middle 8's!

Can honestly say i'm not exactly looking forward to this - they usually give us a right dig when we've been playing well so god knows what will happen now we're not ......on the other hand a win could kick start our season.

Think we're missing Grix's organisation more than we think at the back.

Don't be saying that Daz, there will a fukushima style meltdown lol

Their coach will point to our weaknesses they will run hard and the only way we will win is to negate their forwards and I'm afraid there is every reason to think we will see why it was stupid to let Kopjack go and recruit Dan Smith.

Andersons mistake coming home to roost.

Tansey

mcgillvary
cudjoe
connor
murphy

brough
brierley
hinchcliffe

crabtree
rapira
taai
lawrence
patrick

bench-
huby
johnson
wood
roberts

Nope- same team named apart from leeming dropped for Eorl!
Dobson will have a field day kicking to Simpson in the wind....

Fair enough ....we need stability and changing the team every week is not going to help, neither is dropping a young player learning the game cos he had a stinker last time.

thought we may have seen the last of tansey with them getting a new coach and wanting players back.

simpson cant have another nightmare like friday surely!!

great to have crabtree back we now have something like out starting pack with huby/rapira/crabtree/johnson.. shame about smith going for the season.

no surprise leeming dropped. wood/hinchcliffe ahead of him now

Even at this stage of the season I'm looking at this as a must win game. Win and we are 2 pts off 8th with a game in hand on 3 of the club's round us....lose and we are drifting away from 8th and while still achievable will be a much harder prospect and probably psychologically damaging. You know when you play Salford they will be enthusiastic and aggressive, and now have plenty of ability and power. We need to show all the same qualities, cut out the penalties and have a real will to win. No more excuses, there is enough experience and ability there to make it happen...we desperately need this!

Can someone please tell me where the best place is to park near the ground? Anywhere within 20 mins walking is fine. I remember from past visits it can be a bit busy in the stadium car park.

Cheers and best of luck today.

Park on great northern street behind the retail park that's about a 10/15 mins walk but don't park in the retail park it's self Ull get a fine or u can park on red doles lane that just off Leeds road across from B N Q

if you're early enough then go down Leeds road towards the crossroads where the road to the stadium/retail park is and turn left at the lights,assuming you're coming from town, obviously if coming along Leeds road then right! ( Barr St.) park there for free and it's a 10 minute stroll to the ground,also Massive car park on St.Andrews road too.

Town centre parking is free on bank holidays ..only 15 minutes walk to the ground.

Bookies offering 9/4 on Salford today massive price with us in the form where in well worth 100 quid

Cheers guys. Think I'm going to head to Cambridge Rd as it's not far from The Sportsman for a cheeky pre-match and post-match pint!

Don't park on St Andrews Rd, there's too many young scroats with too much time on their hands

11/4 if you look abit harder



for some strange reason i actually fancy us today despite everything pointing to a salford win!

I'd avoid Cambridge Road unless you want to buy some new pegs or find a tarmac contractor!!

Well it's a good job we didn't win given the Salford fans response to a win. Fighting in lumps, Steward in hospital, and smoke flares in the crowd and thrown onto the pitch. Imagine how they'd have behaved if they had lost.
Never mind koukash can afford it. The Salford fans sum up their club and chairman perfectly.

Jeez, talk about wild generalisations. You may as well start a thread saying "Please troll this forum".

Exciting game, and given possession and position thought we were hard done to, especially in first half. Should have been 12 points more scored. Salford fans at the end a disgrace.... www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... -fans.html

improvement

we failed to take so many chances, we were held up over the line 3 times in the first half and salford capitalised on pens we gave away or one on one missed tackles

connor shaky in defence but ive said this for a long time

brierley actually looked like he put the winning salford players foot on the line?

hinchcliffe, what do we think so far??? i have given him the benefit of the doubt but im starting to wonder what he is giving us? created nothing

salford fans fighting amongst themselves at the end?!

Jools

Last year you were as vociferous as Baloo re Chase`s cannonball tackle.

Are you going to be consistent and criticise Brough on a similar tackle on Caton Brown?

I also thought straight away Brierley had pushed him and his foot had gone into touch before putting the ball down, but not blaming that for losing.....we had enough ball in their 20 to have scored more.
Connor looked like he was running in treacle trying to get across to cut the break off down the right and just hasn't the pace for a centre....but I suppose at the moment we have little choice.
Hinchcliffe...has done ok and looks pacy and at times run some good lines but looks more like a back row to me.
So is Brierley to play half back or full back...or alternate game to game!
And is the Brough saga to run for long? Put a big shift in today but thought Ukuma was top performer today.
