No excuse but I’m told the 4th official was a complete David Warner ( a useless cheat)

Seen a few people complaining about no Pollock, but I don’t see why really. No need to bring him on...Salford weren’t gonna try and attack us too much and Hewitt who came on instead was very good down that right side.

The game felt very reminiscent of our non-league days tonight, on multiple levels.
The ground: Neat, tidy and comfortable enough but felt almost temporary. Relatively easy to dispose of if / when the owners get bored or they reach a level where it can no longer accommodate them.
The tactics: We exhibited far more technical ability tonight, but tactically Salford will he happy with that. A fortunate goal which was against the run of play both before and after, but they played 10 men behind the ball for much of the game and looked incredibly comfortable with it. I’m not criticising their negativity - take the lead and you’re entitled to defend it - but we struggled to find a plan b.
The officiating: I felt the referee was poor generally, but let’s get to the goal. I’ve not seen it back, and I’m told by that those who have that the decision was correct, but my gripe isn’t that it was disallowed but how.
Both the referee and the linesman had a good vantage, yet it’s taken an intervention from the fourth official to identify a problem. In this post VAR world, I thought that the direct free kick was a sanctum for the spontaneous goal celebration, but even at our level, apparently not. How the ball gets back to the centre spot before the goal is scratched I don’t know, but it’s criminal for me.
We’ll be fine this season, and I dare say we’ll records our best finish in the last decade. But we’re tactically, if not technically, too limited to genuinely trouble the play-offs in my opinion.

That was abit crap. let's not forget about Salfords 8? changes. A few players aren't pulling their weight I mentioned what I thought about moses after the bradford game. I thought we needed alot better but after reading lots of positive comments about him in that particular game, the following ones and the managers obvious love for him, I must be wrong Harsh questioning him after his first game but presumably hes had long enough to settle in now? Opinion hasnt changed - no way should he be playing at this level. Nor the national league Even if I forget about his lack of ability with the ball, he's an fit athletic bloke who does sodomist all for the majority of the 90mins. Not good enough to start for a national league side imo. He isnt the only player being carried by the likes of hessenthaler though. Whitehouse well over rated too and shouldnt start imo. Green was never going to be the player to score goals for us either was he? Hewitt and hess looked good so it's not all doom n gloom. He needs to change things for the next game but we've got a decent side

| Christ you all wanted him sacked a few months ago. 6th place finish and he's now the messiah and can do no wrong Update: I think I've got this right - He was the messiah. He then wasn't. He then was again. Then it turned out he actually wasnt. He turned into one big huge messiah again. Now he's not actually the messiah we thought he was . Now I'm hoping he rises again quickly |

Feeling pretty miserable after that, not the game I was expecting at all. I wouldn't mind seeing a few changes made for Saturday just to mix things up and get some freshness out the squad, think we've just gone behind first too many times now and the squad just looked like it couldn't pick itself up for that fight again.
To top it off the m18 turn off was shut so that was a pain in the bottom. Bring on Saturday utm

Our lack of pace and invention is evident whether we pass it or hoof. Backwards and sideways passes show patience but the lack of movement, particularly by Green was disappointing. Hewitt brought some urgency and initiative and showed that he can provide crosses and corners. Time to rest Ogbu and Whitehouse. We are a team in the making and should be safe but it's a tough watch at the moment.

Saw a few cars with tickets outside the ground. How did people get back with M18 junction shut? I went off at J34, A19 to Donny, then A630 to M18,

Green desperate to prove a point tried too hard tonight but Ogbu is fast becoming a waste of a shirt, most of Salford’s chances came through his inability to track back. He’s lazy and plays for himself. Let Charles, Max or Akheem start because we aren’t good enough to play with ten men.
Well footy is full of opinions. Thought Green was ineffective after a great attempt to score early on There were times when Ogbu was playing right back when he should have been further up the park Agree it was crying out for Max Wright to come on halfway through second half.

Green Poor, Hanson outnumbered, Ogbu too deep at times but he came looking for the ball because the midfield was too deep. Loads of possession, but no quality in the final ball to the front 3. lots of hard work but little quality

Creative attacking midfielder still needed. Poor goal to concede. Officials embarrassing.. Yorkies shut off the exit on M62 to force us to pay £1.50 to come across the bridge, extra 3 miles on the journey. These things are sent to try us. Not at Chelsea due to holidays but enjoy the day out folks. UTMM
