I have learnt over the years to know after each success there is always likely to be a big fall, however I was concerned last night by the basic errors we committed, which had nothing to do with London playing well but more to do with our application. I was also concerned at super league level surely the playing staff would arrive mid day & not attempt to be at the club hours before kick off. Maybe it is my lack of understanding but I would have thought match day at any professional level the day was all about preparation.

Yes,the Broughton situation is ludicrous.
These guys are full time professionals.
The Clubs instructions to players clearly need to be amended

I do worry that we don't appear to have anyone who takes control of the team on the field - Wilde isn't a bad player but he is not captain material and make me wonder if O'Dwyer has been told if he comes he's going to be captain which he looks ready made for.

It will be very interesting to see what kind of response there will be at Wakefield next week.

I think it will be less to do with pure coaching and far more to do with team selection and motivation.
If he puts the same team out then we will lose heavily.
He has my best wishes to succeed generally but he now has to make the most of limited resources.

The reference earlier to a full back signing today where does this come from?
Would be nice if it were Fishiai (sp).

Koukash was interviewed on the radio after the game. Said that we had someone who was on the verge of signing but couldn't name them yet and it should hopefully be announced today.

He was pretty scathing with his comments, saying that last night was unacceptable and that anyone who wasn't putting in the effort would be out the door.

Anyone who's played at a decent level will tell you there is nothing worse than hanging around before kick-off. Some players can't speak to anyone. Some players throw-up. It's like waiting to go 'Over the top'. It would be bad practice for a Club to insist that all its playing staff turn up extra early on the off chance that there'll be a massive accident on the motorway. Also pretty ludicrous. Best place for a player is where he can relax and get ready with his own private thoughts before a game. Not hanging around the place for no reason.

People banging on about Broughton need to think with a little more head and less heart. Some circumstances are beyond everyone's control.

Having followed Salford for 45 years I am used to losing, but it is the manner in which we lose that gets to me. I know when a player has sweated blood for the shirt and when he hasn,t. Big disappointment was the last game at the Willows with so many stay away fans getting to the game and witnessing the same old story. Half the team didn,t give a toss. I just hope that the good Dr can instil a winning mentality into the club and this is crucial in our recruitment policy. I love PV but not sure whether he is the right man to organise and motivate a team of big name players (all with egos) to bring success we are craving for.

are none of you worried by the phrase...."i havent come here to sit and watch games like tonight?"

however much you like to mock Wires and Moran, with Moran being a lifelong fan even before he made his millions he would never say that.......

I'm sure you can interpret it as koukash setting extremely high standards and not putting up with rubbish, but it could be interpreted as: "if it all turns to poop I'm off ...... I'm not a boyhood fan of this rubbish?"

I think it's just the way you interpret it. It can be inferred both positively and negatively. Don't think he'll walk, he's not that kind of bloke.

If it was just about watching matches he could have bought a season ticket, which would have been (marginally) easier than buying the club. He's bought the club with the intention of making it successful, and I'd interpret his comments about last night's game in that context.
