| I think people are reading too much into what the problem is/was. Yesterday, we started poorly and gave Wakefield a 16-0 head start. In doing that, you’ve given your opposition a huge amount of confidence and that reflected in the way Wakefield played after this. We got ourselves back in the game at 16-6 and had Theo finished off his break (looked a certain penalty for a high shot from Sykes btw) then who knows (same thing at Wigan – had Junior scored his breakaway we’d have been back in the game).
It seems we struggle to get ourselves back into games where we help the opposition make a healthy early lead. We noticeable appear to start feeling sorry for ourselves and continue to give away penalties and make errors, whilst giving up in defence. Character problem? Maybe it’s something that will improve next season, after a year playing together.

| Yeah it was disappointing, but that's sport sometimes. We're not the only team to get thoroughly outplayed on more than one occasion this season. Every team has suffered some kind of catastrophic mindfart at some point. It's highlighted for us because it was such a key game and we'd been playing well. Sometimes teams that lose momentum like we have with a couple of null weekends find it hard to maintain. We can still have a strong finish with a bit of luck which will lift morale before the start of pre-season.
It's not the end of the world!

| Not the end of the world, admittedly. But it is the end of another disappointing season as a Salford fan. I'm running out of time in my desire to see Salford just once perform well enough to reach a cup final or at least manage more than an abject performance in a play off game...

We avoided relegation, which for me was my main concern. Apart from that it has been disappointing in some areas with a sprinkling of what might be. I'm with you on the fact that it would be nice to see Salford succeed in my lifetime. So far the first half of my life has seen me watch Salford decline for all of it. Fingers crossed the second half goes better, and indeed I actually finish the other half.

| We were thoroughly outplayed yesterday, which (through gritted teeth) I can accept - it happens to the best of teams.
But when the other team is simply more up for it than our lot, in what was basically our cup final, well I find that hard to take.
We drove over with 4 young fans yesterday, none of which were older than 12. They must wonder what the hell they have done to deserve us dragging them there to watch that. Let's hope social services don't find out...

| Wakefield have recently beaten Leeds, Wigan , Warrington & Widnes, the last two away.
Salford haven't managed a win against those teams home or away all season.
We have proven we can roll over teams who aren't playing to their best , but have no answer to Teams playing with confidence, as was proven yesterday.

I'd say good odds now on next weeks London game being a banana skin

That is why I love the Doc, other owners might think that but he is honest and open enough to admit it.
I can see a couple of the players on the books waving their goodbyes at the Widnes game.

Despite beating the above Wakefield are only 2 points in front us .It was`nt the defeat that peed everyone, off, more the manner of it.

I think coach and owner need to have a discussion. The team had 4 days off, including the weekend, and were trained very hard on the other days. Wakefield had 10 days off and turned up refreshed, bright eyed and bushy tailed, as opposed to running onto the field already tired.
Perhaps we should stop questioning the players' loyalty commitment and passion and, instead, question if they are being properly prepared?
Surely now is the time to blood some of the fringe players and see what they have to offer? What are the chances?

| I'd make 2 points on this:
1) It really is a confidence game and not many teams come back from 3 tries down early on in a game. We've suffered with that plenty of times ourselves. If you let a team get the better of you early on and take a decent lead then one team just gains confidence that they can keep scoring and the other starts to believe they can't get back into it. Only the mentally strongest teams tend to recover from that scenario, and Salford (like Wakefield) are not really one of those teams at this stage in their development.
2) I know Koukash has saved your club and brought some much needed character and publicity into the sport but his reaction again does your team no favours. This is the sort of statement that should be coming from the coach and not the owner IMO. Owners meddling in team affairs rarely works, that's why you have a coaching team. Dr Koukash should be bawling out Harris and letting him bawl out the team, otherwise he just undermines the coach and causes more harm than he solves.

It could well be a pressure thing, did your players see it as their cup final? I never saw anything involving Wakey heaping pressure on the team or speccis, for me it was just another game, no pressure as it was gonna be difficult to make the 8.

71248_1418040451.jpg On the 8th day, God created Rugby League
On the 9th day, Satan created Salford.
A battle ensued through to to late on the 12th day.
A few hours later, a truce, and on the final stroke of midnight, Code 13 was created...
Heaven and Hell combined forces and delivered Salford Red Devils...a legacy is born!!!!!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_71248.jpg |

I couldn't agree more....
I love the fact that he's a fan and hurts like the rest of us and he is entitled to tweet about dissatisfaction etc, however, it's for the coach to decide who plays, stays or goes.
Unless of course, Marwan decides that he is now coach!!!!!!
