That poor peformance tonight by the Reds was as bad as it gets.

Is it time for the head coach to go?

Or is it time for the head coach to get down on the touch-line instead of watching from the stand with Steve Simms and do some real old style coaching.

To be honest I'm in shock at what I watched tonight.

Well done to Mr Brian Noble and his team they deserved the two points for sure.

The only Salford player to get any praise tonight from me was Daniel Holdsworth words fail me about the rest.

what a disgrase we where and for the 3,00+ attendence never seen it 2,000 if that the shed wherent even packed

did anyone go in the tavern after the match?

the players walked in laffing and jokin with each other all smiles.. as sum1 as already said look at noble and see what he as done with crusades after only a few months in charge..

any1 here the aftermatch press conferdance please do not tell me mcrea said we have got to take the positives out of the match and build on it because im f@@kin sick to deathof here the same old sh@t off the fat

first post on here for a while...............SIMPLY FED UP OF THE SLUG COACH OF OURS ................MACRAE COULD NOT MOTIAVATE AND COACH FOLLY LANE RESERVES!!........GO FULL TIME AT SKY RUBBING STEVOS FAKE TAN IN.......AND LETS HAVE SOMEONE ON BOARD WITH SOME PASSION

Hope things get better for you guys, got a soft spot for Salford.

I'll join you with that, good luck.

things will not get better until we get rid of mcrae and his sidekick simms. they havent got a clue! same old cr&p tactics, no motivation, rubbish team worst pack in super league this list goes on. things are looking bleak.where do the crusaders get all thier money from theyve signed a lot of players recently and nobles said hes after more on thier website. weve only signed 4 and the others r on loan. for me we need to sign a couple of decent big forwards to try and at least set us a platform during games and then work from thier. things cant get any worse, can they! we said this last year

I am certainly glad i did not get season ticket would have been a waste of money same old salford same old crap

i only post now & again but some of you may remember i said, look at the lower league table in OZ ...well thats what the crusaders did bought a number of fringe NRL players we only bought one holdsworth & he will be a good buy for the club...as for Mr Mcrae well ....i also said a year ago souths are no bunnies... Pun... when they ditched him we got him, not done a thing for Salford look to the Kid souths dumped at the seasons end Jason Taylor good young coach..need i say more...

I have to question the club's decision to allow Snow White to select the backs.

Ha didnt expect to see a negative comment from you. Dont know why you bother coming on.

As most other comments, totally disillusioned. Scarily bad performance last night, cant see 1 positive. Dont know how much it would cost us to get rid of that fool n let him concentrate on his full time job on sky, can only imagine thats whats stopping us from getting rid of that sack of sh!!te.

So lets have a look at what we have...

We have 6 players who have at some point been good enough to have played in the premier competition in the world... the NRL

Jeremy Smith
Daniel Holdsworth
Phil Leuluai
Ian Sibbit
Luke Swain
Ray Cashmere

2 Players who are good enough 'apparently' for Saints to not want to release them...

Matty Smith
Steve Tyrer

We have a wealth of SL experience from the likes of....

Malcolm Alker
Karl Fitzpatrick
Rob Parker

2 Players who are classed of 2 of the best up and coming players in the game....

Luke Adamson
Stefan Ratchford

We sign youngsters who apparently have enough for Saints and Leeds to sign them...

Jodie Broughton
Ashley Gibson
Dean McGilvrey

So WHY do we have the rubbish on the park that we witnessed last night ?

Is it the coach ?
Bad combination of players ?
Or... are we looking at the fact that these players are here for a reason... they are just no good... or only good enough for us ?

Am I the only person who felt sorry for Daniel Holdsworth last night ? The guy must wonder what on earth he's come to. He's clearly a talent who could be wasting a year of his development by being here.

It worries me that after being caught with the kick to the corner 2 times... the 'coach' didn't change it on that side.... being caught 5 times with the same tactic is nothing short of criminal.

Last nights result was far from a shock... and exactly what I expected of this 'team'

Think Loyalfans synopsis of the team is spot on. I was quite happy with the squad before the season kicked off, as many have said bit light in the pack but good young players and some slightly older who need to make their mark. It for me can only be the coach. He doesnt give a fig about this club, and is slowly destroying us.

A bit light in the pack? a massive understatement I think.Their forwards controlled the game for the full 80 minutes.The amount of ground they made on every set of six was unbelievable.This,plus a really good Kick and chase,and our forwards struggled throughout.
I've defended McRae several times on here,saying give him time etc,but I think his position should be seriously looked at.After all he's been at the helm now for a few years and this is his team.This is almost a repeat of last seasons opening few games when we were like a rabbit caught in the headlights,we appear to have learnt nothing.
Any coach Salford do employ however is under a big disadvantage of having little money to spend on new players and can therefore only really sign players nobody else wants,therefore he has to get the best out of what he has and to try and improve them gradually,something I thought McRae could possibly do,and still might do. It's his apparent inability to alter things during a match that worries me.
By the way,you say he doesn't give a fig about the club,neither do the people of Salford judging by last nights attendance

Garry Schofield said last year that we may not win a game and I laughed. Had he said it this year I would be inclined to agree with him. The playing side has been on a steady decline since McRae took over. The calibre of player that we are signing is far worse than when he took over. Why is it that the likes of Huddersfield and Hull KR manage to progress on the back of a top six finish and yet we end up getting relegated from a similar position? Last nights performance was abysmal. To concede one try from a high kick fair enough. You learn from it and try to ensure it doesn't happen again. To concede 5 times to the same tactic - well the buck stops with the coaching staff on that one. Credit Brian Noble though. He identified a weakness and to say that they exploited it is an understatement. We've lost comprehensively to a team that finished bottom last season. Is McRae the man to pick the players up after that? Along with Loyalfan, I felt sorry for Holdsworth last night however if he keeps performing like that somebody will be in for him.
