Thought Bullock and Clubb played well in the short time they were on the pitch, both carted the ball up strongly IMO.
Looked totally disjointed in the first half, much better in the second half, Hardaker looked pretty sharp considering the time he's been off, reckon that should be him at FB for the rest of the season

Missed the game due to other rugby commitments. How did Field get on?

Can’t pass for toffee and looked every bit a player who has probably played a handful of games at best in 18 months.

Surprising how differently people see the same game.

I never thought we'd lose tonight. Salford looked poor, unfit and, apart from Sarginson, had very little threat. The ref kept them in it in the 1st half with some very questionable decisions. I've never seen Powell so animated as he was when the ref gave the knock-on before HT btw.

The changes in the 2nd half showed the difference it makes playing seasoned pros in their best positions. We could gave easily scored a couple more and I don't think we scrapped home.

Poor first half from us but a decent enough second half. Hardaker looked sharp when he came on. Hastings got mom but absolutely bombed a couple of opportunities in the Second half. Harry Smith mixed a couple of really poor errors with some sublime bits of play. Field looked rusty but plenty to work with. We still look disjointed and poorly coached but you can give some leeway tonight with us having to chop and change.

We’ll need to improve out of sight on that performance but you never know.

Another terrible performance. We are so badly coached it’s dreadful to watch. Feel sorry for Hastings, absolutely giving his all but getting nothing back out of this team

Didn’t think we were as bad as early in the year.

Made a lot of breaks/half breaks. Although We came up with a lot of errors at key times. On another day we’d have scored 4/5 tries.

Glad to see Field out there.

Hardaker looked sharp but I feel he’s still better in our half (defence and good early set carries) than he is in opponents half (cut out passes to the winger for try assists etc).

Bateman was class imo, hope nothing comes from that scuffle with Livett (I thought a punch was thrown at one point).

Hardaker had a couple of chances to pull the trigger on a pass to the centre or winger to try and send them in but held on to the ball. It is what holds him back from being world class because at his best the rest of his game is.

Tonight was the first match that I've been to where I was able to sit in my usual seat, which was kinda nice. Maybe it meant a bit more to me than you guys, born and brought up here, but as a relatively recent Wigan dweller, it was nice to be welcomed back by my neighbours. But the game wasn't all that, was it? For sure we looked better with Zak at full-back and JH in the halves, but again I felt, JH will leave massive boots to fill. He has papered over so many cracks for Wigan, and has had a lot asked of him, and my admiration for him has only increased this season.

Awful game with two pish poor teams.

Our tempo is slow slow slow slow.

Without Hastings we are not even half decent

Icouldn’t attend on Sunday due to family commitments so was hoping for a decent follow up tonight but the standard was poor at best

If Lam is here next season I won’t be. He is boring me to death with his “attacking” rugby

His only excuse tonight for the quality of attacking rugby is us being a bit disjointed with a numbers of players in and out from Sunday but it’s no excuse really. That first half was just abysmal and I have no faith that even in a few weeks, with as strong a team as we’ll have out out all season, that we’ll look any better coached. There will be no excuses left for Lam when he has a team consisting of Hardaker at 1, Hastings and a fully fit Field at 6 and 7 and Bateman at 13, Isa and Faz in the pack and we’ll be leaving good players out of the 17 (thus is all being well) but I have no faith it’ll look any better.

As others have said the first half was woeful but once Hastings was moved things got a little better,Wigan need to find a replacement for him or next season is going to be a struggle.

Somebody needs to teach Bibby how to pass

It surprises me how far we have fallen, that people can defend that performance. It was a relief to win, it wasn't entertaining in any way, the amount of dropped ball and just general lack of having a clue is pathetic.

I’d be knocking on Lam’s door if I was Marshall saying if Bibby is my centre just play me at prop.
