I've been waiting for someone to defend Macrae's position and at last it's happened. Although such loyalty is commendable, I fear that this is completely disregarding the facts. I don't think 'BLIND LOYALTY' will do us any good.

It is clear to everyone who is passionate about supporting the club that that it's time for SM to go. Very few of us have any respect for the guy at all. When KH got the boot, most of us understood the reasons, but we were also sad to see him go because he did command a lot of respect. He was the kind of guy who led from the front as both player and Coach, a PROPER LEADER. Who can say that of Macrae?

Hmm. Whilst I respect the rest of your opinion, I really can't respect this particular comment. To suggest that one's "passion" for the club is measurable by one's dislike for Shaun McRae is simply incorrect.

Like I say, I can respect the rest of your opinion.

Is it all Mcrae's fault? what about the other coaches? do they not have input? Did SM go out and tell our players to knock on? give silly penalties away? miss tackles? Yes what he said after the game was wrong and we've not really played well consistantly but we've pulled off some great wins in the last 2 seasons, does SM ever get a well done for that? no its always the players who get the praise for having a good game, but when the players have bad games like on sunday, its the coach that gets all the flack!

At the highest levels in all professional sport, 90% of performance is in the head - that's the coach's job - to get the frame of mind right, to get self-belief ingrained in every member of the team - that's where I think SM has lost it big time

well i couldn't disagree with you on that mate but i just think its a bit harsh to blame it all on SM, theirs others who should accountable

At half time tonight surely the thread title should be , Lets give SM a broken neck

38 points in a half is not really acceptable

I was really hoping you lot would do well and i thought Steven Wild would be a defensive rock for you.

I came out at half time,Ireally can,t take any more of this.The coach isnt the only one to blame,lets face it there is,nt enough room on the pageto fit them all in,but ultimately the buck has to stop with Mcrae.I probably wasn,t going to go to the new stadium,being an old fart,but with this rubbishIprobably will stop going to the old one as well.

You really do need to get rid. A poor coach who really is 10-15 years behind the times.

BTW - What's Brian Noble doing these days?

Brian noble is out of work and would love to see him come to salford

Seriously? I wasn't in the best of moods watching last week so I didn't notice it. Its just the rest of the team are so bad in defense, so I've been calling the team as a whole, I hope Wild can show a few more players how to tackle. I said when Swain went what will we do with him and Alker both going, our best two tacklers, then when we signed Wild I said, he'll probably do as good in defense as Swain and even a bit better in attack.

He is now a film advisor according to GMR

Being the author of this post I take responsibilities for my comments.

Tonight not an ounce of improvement.

I stand by judging him on the season as a whole but the by-Product in between will either cause a mass riot at the club or someone will be pelted with eggs. Either of which I don't think it should come to.

Speaking to a close friend at the club after the game and I believe something of a change will happen.

Mistakes are never learnt from. The mentality and professionalism is terrible and unless the coach leaves things won't change.
