Welcome to the big time.

When you lose and get trolled left right and centre, you know you're a big club!

Ha cheers mate, we'll have to get used to it I think. Your mate pete really has it in for us doesn't he??!!

I actually thought we looked ok in spells. From the stands it looked like nothing went our way but obviously watching through red tinted specs. Still better than I expected, onwards n upwards I have some optimism for wire next week!

I still think 6th is too much of an ask this season and a lot of other Salford fans would agree. 8th will do for me, anything higher is a bonus.

8th is a good and realistic aim ... Unfortunately there are certain people (at the club and outside it) that have talked yourselves up more than they should of potentially ...

Biggest problem is attack. Widnes gifted you 2 (arm grabbing) and a lucky bounce - you had plenty of position and possession, but never really looked threatening

I'll be honest, I don't like the noises that the doc has been making since he took over. It's all this crap he's spouting about it's for the good of rugby league. I'd rather he just be honest and admit he just wants to buy success for Salford and it's not rugby league he has at heart.

Not the result we wanted and even more injuries but I thought it was a spirited performance. Every 50:50 seemed to go against us tonight but we can take some positives from tonight.

Most of our players performed pretty well with the exception of a couple I'd rather not name. I've got to signal out Harrison Hansen for some special praise I thought he was superb for us again.

Give it a few weeks and 5 or 6 key players back and we will absolutely tonk someone, trust me. It will probably be a revenge beating of Widnes at the magic weekend. It's a funny old game

The ball just didn't seem to bounce our way at times and some 50/50 decisions seemed to go against us. Walton not getting a penalty off a strip earlier in the game, the 'obstruction' before half time, the break from Theo that was going to be kicked dead but we stupidly managed to touch the ball as it was going out, the drop from Theo after the ball hit Howarth. We had chances, just made some bad decisions and got unlucky a couple of times.

I'll be honest, your really boring. Go back to your saints forum if you want to slag us off.
