Arent i the Lucky one :shock:

had the pleasure ( sic) of listening it to Radio Manchester which suggested that

1 Salford played the game simply and made very few errors Pretty much correct

2 Although we had very good field position we could not score and bombed several chances We lacked pace and ideas to turn potential into tries. Created very little really.

3 Our attacking kicks were very poor apart from the one where Aspy set up Robbo True

4 Salford showed more commitment particualrly with their scrambling defence Agreed although offside & holding down wasn't policed by alibert though that is probably a tad unfair to Salford who were the better team and deserved the win

5 We made a lot of errors ( although many of them were due to good Salford defence) We were inept at times and just plain poor at others

6 We seemed unlucky with a couple of things Unlucky in the fact that all 17 players had a bad day together

7 When things started going badly our heads dropped. We showed no urgency at all throughout the game

8 we missed Hodgson Not sure even Brett could have helped in this one.

Anyone else got any views.

It was one of the worst performances by a Fartown team for a long time.
Tactics did not change in the second half despite the poor first half.
Why do we have three hookers in the team with one playing at loose forward, neither with any weight or go forward?
Why do we persist in playing Korkidas for 15 minutes a game? For a prop it's not good enough.
Why have we reverted to 5 drives and a kick and why do we always seem to turn back into the ruck?
Why do we seem to lack pace and fail to turn overlaps into scores?

I hope that today was the low point cos I am not looking forward to next week.
