As pev says there are some decent talented players in our ranks who are being coached by a coach who has no idea how to get the best out of them,with his dismal crazy percentage rugby tactics and hoping the opposition have an off day!!what does the SLUG say in his halftime teamtalk????....wouldnt suprise me if Ratchford got a big telling off for trying something different with that great ball steal just before halftime!!(mind you what wee the rest of the team doing at the time???)
Anyone come up with a reason why he must stay??BRING IT ON!!!...No doubt though the slug will come out with his famous quote..."ahh well we will take some positives out of the game!!"

This team look totally Clueless, Short on confidence, Passion, Heart, Ideas, Agression,Knowledge, Skill, Brains and its all down too the COACHING! Top and tale of it. Whats happened to Adamson Last season he was doing ever so well and knocking on the door for International Honours, Where was Matty Smith, Holdsworth Lacks Balls he is scared to take anybody on, Stef looks shot he must be praying another club comes in and saves himfrom this utter style of dross he is being told to play. Sidlow and Phil Both look like Tarzin and Play like Jane, The recruitment has been AWFUL and that is down to the managment PURE and Simple it is a joke. This club of ours is on its KNEE'S! Wilky for God sake Heads need to ROLL now, OR the investors that are "Bidding" for the contract at the stadium will take one lok at our position in the table Our Abysmal Crowds , Our inept coach and Think "hang on minute DO we really want to pay millions In this CLIMATE for a bunch of crap that even 2 and half thousand people dont wanna watch. I love my club but im begining to lose heart and love , I paid £150 from my hard earned money and NOW is the time for the fans to get what we want! Mcrae OUT Simms OUT, A complete sweep NOW. SOS SAVE OUR SALFORD.

I feel more saddened every week - the club is imploding. Too many wrong decisions being made in every area of the club. Sickening.......

Even after 2 bottles of wine that performance still is in my mind.
$hite sums it up.
Lets play the McRae way.
1/Pass straight a long a line, make no yards.
2/Pass to forwards who are static when they receive the ball
3/Run straight in to the markers at every opportunity
4/Flair or skill is not allowed
5/Kick straight to the full back or in to touch at every opportunity.

Enough is enough, if JW can not see what is happening then he is blind.
Fook the fact we cant afford to get rid of the turd, we cant afford not to.
Alker and Simms also out.
Alan Hunt as Coach and Robbie Paul as assistant could they honestly do any worse.

McRae has to go. It is said the club cannot afford to sack him. I say they cannot afford not to sack him. By the end of the season, if not before, there will be no one watching and with poor gates, low revenue streams etc you can forget a franchise.

From where I stand in the Shed, towards the North Stand end of the ground, there are already many faces in the crowd, familiar over the years, absent.

I have said on several posts that the club has gone backwards since McRae came in. We were poor in the National League, it was only full time status that saw us through. The style of rugby throughout his reign has been dire and there are no signs of it improving. We are never going to win a game with one man rugby, when we concede a minumum sixty yards over six tackles because we don't move up in defence and so have to start on our line very set. Then because we are so slow at the play the balls and players get the ball standing we are lucky to get out of the forty before a kick and back the opposition come again. It has gone on every week. Mcrae often highlights this lack of field position but has he changed or done anything to rectify things. Again tonight we saw a side who upped it against us , tweaked things at half time and we had no response. Catalans were missing both their first choice half backs!

The players are making mistakes but their morale looks shot. There is clearly no confidence, co-ordination or method in anything they do. I thought it was hard of the Shed to have a go at the players tonight. There are players out there fit to wear the shirt. They are just in a badly coached team. Stefan Ratchford is a case in point. He was prefered to Myler by us all last season and yet he now looks a pale shadow of the player who caused a buzz everytime he got the ball.

There is not one crumb of comfort to be taken from tonight at all. I cannot see how we are going to get a win.

I started the thread by mentioning disappearing faces in the Shed. I fear mine may soon be one, which hurts as I have followed Salford since first seeing them as a 9 year old in 1973. (What must the greats of that side think?) I am rapidly losing the faith.

Re: I'm venting but mean every single word. : Sat Mar 06, 2010 12:43 am  

I dont think JW has got the balls to sack him, will cost him money, we cant get relegated so he'll probably think whats the point?

Re: I'm venting but mean every single word. : Sat Mar 06, 2010 1:02 am  

The point is that if we finish bottom without a win and with gates of 2,000 there is obviously no demand for RL here. As it seems 1 x NL club is GUARANTEED to enter the next Franchise then clubs will look no further than the weakest link and that would spell the end for our club - Stadium or No Stadium.

JAW has a huge decision to make in the next week. Can he come to an amicable settlement and find 2 new likely lads who will play thekind of RL we all want them to play or does he stick with SM and see the gradual decline in standards. I'm fairly sure that SM will not walk away without a decent Golden Handshake.

Step forward Alan Hunte and Mark Lee
