Salford City Post Match Thoughts

Martha on the left never went on the outside had little impact on the game. Just once when he switched to the right he outpaced their defence then a weak finish. Somebody tell me different. Only player I've took from that game is James Clarke like advertiser said he could be the best of our young players definitely got the physicality to be. Holmes Kaleta both did ok when they got on then MH switched Holmes to the left which didn't work to get Martha on the right.

Forgettable first half. Subs made a big difference all over the pitch.

Holmes 8/10; McGukin, a generous 5/10

Very generous!

[Timbertop]

Generally awful. Some people seem easily satisfied with the appalling level to which we have quickly sunk. Guess old habits (watching football) die hard but I?m beginning to lose that attraction.

Hugebill needs to go, now. Stick anyone else up even near suitable and play to feet or to run on to, anything is better than wasting balls on him.
TS is a bit stubborn by not paying him off. Money now or each week till summer, he can afford it, get it done. I?d be furious playing in the same team.

No wonder MH says it could take years.

I can't find the name "McGuckin" in any of that.

Could have gone anyway. Brightened up last 20 minutes. Really pleased for young Holmes to get his first goal for the club in a tense situation.
If Viktor had saved 2 penalties you'd all be frothing at the mouth, but I suppose Dawson was just lucky. I'll say it, well done Cam!!

Dawson had a good game, pulled off two very good saves made to look easy by very good positioning, he also came and collected a few crosses. The penalties were superb really so well done to him. His distribution is poor, we need to be quicker and giving him options to play out and not goofball, especially when there is no CF on the pitch, which was all game last night.

His distribution is a bit like a Sunday league keeper - just blast it and hope it goes anywhere near the halfway line. It?s amazing for a pro of many years, nobody has ever tried to improve it. It?s not that hard!

Timbertop has nailed it. A few sat around me last night were saying the same. There are some fans now accepting out terminal decline into division 2.

Last night was dross. We struggled against a bang average L2 side. Don't put Hughill in a Rotherham shirt again, he is an embarrassment to himself and his profession. Nombe also not the answer and we need to cash in. Although my confidence in RS and PD to be able to "cash in" is utterly zero.

We are now the conclusion of years of conservativism which as we know gradually grinds down the overall quality. I agree with post above, have we been in decline now so long that some people are just Borg, assimilated into the dross of a club we now are. Still no connect to the team, the players, the process and that will not change until the board let others have a go. They had their time, had their chance and fluffed it from the James Taverner / Dickho era. That's when we should have gone the next level.

What we are watching right now is as bad as when Danny Bergara was manager.

As MH says, it will take years to sort out and that is admission that the club has been run badly.

I really want MH, AW and Woody to do well, we all do, but they're under the same restraints. I don't think the club can provide the players they believe we need.
