Some thoughts : Fri May 22, 2009 9:59 am  

While tossing and turning last night trying to get some sleeps I had a some thoughts on our current predicament:

Is it me or do the team not look as hungry with Solomona missing? Who else can fill in this role

Is Macca currently the longest serving coach in the league joint with Noble?

Who is Morrison alluding to that is not pulling their weight. I have a feeling it is Newton but no evidence.

Certain individuals seem to get up for the big games againts Saints and Leeds but can't be arsed for the rest - they need to be rooted out and removed IMO

The so called experts who thought Worrincy and Sherrife would be flops and Scruton would be good have been proved wrong. As usual I was right on Worrincy and Sherrife. What happened to Scruton?

I think we are due a big win in Salford if we start as we mean to carry on

You were tossing and thinking of Solomona, McNamara, Newton, Morrison and Scruton?

Makes a change as I thought it was usually Nero that you thought about when you were tossing?

Why him? There is plenty more to choose from.

OK - I agree that the team do not look as hungry without Solomona. Mainly because, in his absence, there is FAR more to go round at the club canteen in order to satisfy the demand.

Yep, plus i think Matterson (2005?), McDermott (July 2006) and Dixon (2005/2006?)are also either longer serving or around the same time.

No, for long periods last season Solomona looked anything but hungry and was stealing a living at one stage. He's looked more up for it when we have seen him this year but we looked ok against Leeds and Saints in the second half without him.

No

Who is Morrison alluding to that is not pulling their weight. I have a feeling it is Newton but no evidence.

Newton was handing out some verbal bo!!ockings on the pitch last Sun, he has his faults this year but I dont think its him not pulling his weight.

If the coach can identify regular offenders in this regard they need warning and then dropping then getting shut of if they keep it up.

Scruton could have been better for longer periods I'll agree but theres time yet for improvement. No argument over how good worrincy has been but im still to be convinced you've been proved right about Sherrife. he's done ok but thats it.

You and I wish.... somehow I doubt it. they are full of confidence, at home and I cant help think that the bookies offering them a +6 start could be a licance to print money. If we win we'll only sneak it IMO.

I think it might be Langley, poor hands, average hit ups, too many missed tackles for a defensive focussed player

Although Terry has not been himself for a while too and Sunday was the worst I've seen from him

On another point - if Morro only got the Salford v Hudds game wrong on the tipping contest - does that mean he back Celtic to beat us

or do they not predict our games?

Just being a bit mischeivous with this post not too serious
