Salford 3 Morecambe 1 [OG] LIVE thread

[Keith]

Clearly, we're waiting to go two goals behind, before we'll begin playing.

[Angler1]

Very poor performance so far. Nothing happening up front at all. Very poor defending. Could be 3-0 down.

Well it won’t be long !!!

[dannymorc1]

Poor, poor, poor. Absolutely no urgency, we are looking lost and clueless. They have been in total control and we could be 3 or 4 down.
If we continue like this, will be 3 or 4 if not more down!

[Redalert1970]

Totally inept performance... Not 1 shot on target against a team who have conceded 71 this season

We've had 2 extra days rest

The pitch is a leveller but NO excuse.. Professional footballers for heavens sake

I said weeks ago we are mid table at best but hey ho if that's negative so be it

[jona77]

That’s probably as bad a half as we’ve played this season! Could easily be 3 or 4 down and showed little up front! We are still only a couple of points outside the play offs but in reality we are way off the pace in games recently!

[redrobo]

Excellent shot return......

1 on target so far.....

Mid table at best......just thankful that we are not in a relegation scrap.

As much as I want to support Ged, this run of poor defensive performances would not have happened under DA.....for all his faults he was able to organize our defensive play....OK at the expense of attack at times.

60% possession so far to Salford....

[Keith]

Poor first half, too many players not got going. Perhaps this is more a game for Slew? Add some battling qualities in place of finesse? Edwards or Hiwula off for Slew?

[shrimpsontoast]

Wow that was appallingly bad. Like a pre-season friendly. Not sure I can bring myself to watch the second half. Second best in every single respect and the long ball tactics are absolutely hopeless. Defensively pretty much as bad as it was at Newport.

[Redalert1970]

No shots on target

[marky No.1]

Well it is a Sunday League game ..

Their no.11 has had freedom of the left wing, oh and he scored as well

[Born again Bill]

Reminds me a bit of Barrow away , playing on a ploughed field and the home team managing the conditions better . No good for our usual style of play !

[Redalert1970]

Garbage blaming the pitch

Mansfield played on a far worse pitch yesterday and scored 5 (could have had 10)

Yes Mansfield are far better than us but sorry it's no excuse whatsoever

[black morse]

Very poor performance so far but the state of the pitch has meant we are not playing out from the back. Not an excuse as we should be able to play under any conditions. Certainly not going to reach play offs playing like this. Please don't concede immediately on resumption

[Billy bodger]

Is it as terrible as it seems when reading the live text? I heard Ged say you cannot give players a roasting nowadays, well they need a rollicking, they are not on their sunshine holidays yet.

[Redalert1970]

2 nil now

Utter and complete bollocks.

If a player is playing badly but still picking up his wage then YES you can give him a roasting. Ged needs to stop this 'nice guy' attitude. He's the manager and should therefore be prepared to dish out some home truths as required.

At the end of the day players move on..and managers get fired....

[Keith]

WOW! Great goal.

[Redalert1970]

10 goals shipped this week now

[lancaster shrimp]

Rawson is a huge miss.

[Redalert1970]

Colin Hendrys son with the 2nd

He's a quality player

[redrobo]

I want to support Ged .....BUT he's making it more and more difficult with every game.

Wonder if JC would have been installed IF he had been available at the time....

If we don't get a result of any kind today...any chance of a play off place is over AND if we did get there we'd go out in the play offs with such shocking defense.

Not sure who it is to blame. Is it the central partnership or is it midfield NOT marking their man and allowing him to go forward.

[Keith]

Clearly, we're waiting to go two goals behind, before we'll begin playing.

Well, with Slew on for Hiwula, let's hope my second prediction is accurate too!

[dannymorc1]

Goal difference taking another hammering.

Think the first paragraph is a bit of an overeaction but everyone has an opinion.
