Good to see Rudd getting on the scoresheet.

All you need is Rudd.

A quality player who has added a real dimension to the Salford attacking line-up with his goals, flick ons and fast running.

You've obviously based your opinion on earlier season results and performances of which some I would agree were dire but have you actually seen any games since the arrival of the new management team of
Paul Wright and Neil Hall? We've ran all the top six sides very close recently as well as gaining much praise from opposing fans for the type of football we've played. The petulant actions of Jon Robinson are hopefully a distant memory as a raft of recent quality additions to the side have more than enhanced our reputation as a side that likes to play attractive passing
football which has been very much in evidence in recent 5-3 and 5-4 wins at Lancaster City and Rossendale United respectively. Now if only we could sort out our defence!

Close one at Radcliffe tonight; LGFC 0 Nantwich 8

My sympathies mate. I know exactly how you feel having lost 8-1 at
Wakefield a week earlier although last nights 5-4 win at Rossendale made me feel a lot better!

Baz aka Yum-Yum is still playing although not with the Ammies. He's currently plying his trade with Runcorn Linnets in the North West Counties Premier Division along with ex Salford players Simon Myerscough, Kenny
Tudor and Steve Cunningham. A real character and a firm favourite during his time at Moor Lane.

Really? I though Kenny was a decent player and wondered where he'd gone.

No i've not been this season. From recent results it does look like it is turning around, and i hope it does! I'd love for salford to hae a great footballing team as i am a local lad, me and my dad have been watching them on and off for the last 15 years or so. I was just commenting on the style of play that got them promoted etc would not work at this level. I hope the experience from this season will help them bounce straight back up next season.

As you can tell, I've not been down to Moor Lane since early this season (for my sins) so not quite up to speed on squad changes etc. There's just not enough time over a weekend to fit in Utd, SRLFC, Salford City & my U12's team I run!!! Think I'll have to change my avatar if I don't get to more games as people will just think I'm a glory-hunting armchair supporter

Fair play to Baz to still be going though. I remember him breaking his leg quite badly 10 or so years ago and he played with a limp for about 6 months IIRC . I think the fact that he's always kept himself in such good shape has helped his longevity.

Salford, for the size of it's city, should have a team playing at a higher level than the Unibond 1st. Without knowing too much about how the club is run, I can only guess that the club isn't run as well behinf the scenes as some of our local rivals (Mossley/Trafford etc). Having taken 30+ years to get into the Unibond it'll be a shame to see them drop out at the first time of asking.

Saw Massey play for Runcorn at Atherton Colls last week and he was his usual 'character' - how that bloke doesn't get 15 red cards a season, I'll never know

Was always entertaining on the odd occasions that I saw him play for Colls a couple of years back though. Certainly made his way around the local circuit, anyroad!

And glorious it was too. It silenced the local inbreds at the other end of the ground who'd spent most of the game singing a mixture of Soccer AM chants and YNWA. They looked a little gutted to say the least.
