The Crusaders were excellent today. They threw the ball around so much and made barely any mistakes when in possession. Very disciplined and intelligent display IMO.

Cru were good today and well done to them but for most of the game they were very beatable yet we made mistake after mistake and allowed their strike players to get into the game and that was it, the lack of effort from Salford compared to Crusaders was embarassing

I can see massive problems if Alker and SM stay in the same coaching set up. Alker was without doubt Salford through and through and I honestly think he has the club at heart and as such think when he and SM fall out for the first time all manner of things will come to a head.

For me get SM out and give Martin Crompton a go till the end of the season, then bring in a top class Aussie to usher us into the new stadium sod Vievers off and have Crompton as number two with a view to him becoming long term first team coach.

Or simply give the genius the job for the season.

Yes and also a weak unprepared pack that gets dominated too easily! When are Salford going to get some forwards that run hard on to the ball and really mean it when they charge in?

Is this the same Alker who was ' high fiving ' Hudson as he left the pitch , what a muppet
