He said he may make a couple of changes

Its what I said, wasn't it? 

Lingard is the only new player in the squad, so not whole sale changes.

Pedantic you may think but a few is more than 2

Jake Trueman's situation reminds me of the time when we had Bill Ashurst at the club.


 In the days before social media and squad announcements we'd turn up at Belle Vue wondering if he'd be fit and playing. If he was, we were going to be in with a shout of winning as he was a superbly talented player, but sadly it was often not the case, but the club didn't just cast him aside. That specialist up in Middlesbrough he was always going to see must have had a comfortable retirement on the back of the  charges we paid for Bill's consultations.


Same with Jake , he's a very talented player who, unfortunately can't get a break at the moment. Stick with him, we stuck with Tom J (twice) through a run of injuries, he came through it . 

Jake Trueman wishes he was a tenth of the player Bill Ashurst was but I get what you mean

There's loads of examples.


Lomax at Sts had seasons out when he was younger
Percival gas missed a lot of games


Both well worth waiting for.

I have zero sympathy for the entity that runs Salford or the previous incarnations. They are totally responsible for the situation.
The fans, total sympathy, always found Salford fans ok.
The players. It’s a hard world and we’ve all been there. The established players will be ok, but the young lads trying to forge a career I do feel for.
Truth is the only people you should be chanting at are those who own the club. Sadly it’s a truly pointless exercise because they won’t be there and even if they were they wouldn’t give a toss.
Let’s just enjoy the game and get behind our own team and leave the opposition alone.

I just don’t get posts like this. Different players, decades apart and a totally different sport these days. Comparing there injury situation is fair enough, but why compare them as players. Odd.

Looks like a few changes today then, aye

Lingard and Myers in


Pratt and Hood rested
