| 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.

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

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.'"

| 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.

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.
