Yeah we were the best team in the world last week now we're a bunch of crap, you fickle bunch of people it was never going to last for us!!! Real Salford fans know that. I'm fuming about today, but I said to everyone it would happen Salford rugby build us up, but knock us down either further and we always will do instead of expecting miracles come to watch salford.

Mark my words we will never ever be good!!!

ps does anyone know what it is with Salford teams conceding just before and after half time?

very constructive post ave it!!!,,,,viva lee jewit! viva gadaffi

Lack of concentration?

Is that what caused it? I wasn't looking.

Although this was posted after a few beverages the point is pretty much bang on. Some of the comments on here about us scoring 40+ and just turning up to win were quite laughable. When have we ever really mullered someone in superleague? Not sure why people thought it would suddenly happen after a couple of wins.

Which thread are these 40+ comments under. I've read through the 6 page thread on the game and most of the posts are tempered with the knowledge that past performance is a guide to the future with Salford and that nothing could be taken for granted.

I can only find one pre game post in that thread that thought we might win by 18. Most were fairly wary of the outcome that indeed did occur.

I wasn't expecting us to hammer them before the game, but its just the fact that we were beaten by such a poor team when we are easily capable of beating them. Its just so frustrating and I think that is what is making a lot of people so angry. I'm used to Salford getting beat of course, but this was just beyond bad.

Not sure i should apologise for thinking we would win last night but go on then i will. Prior to last night Crusaders had won once, they had 50 points put past them the week before, they had a major player out (Witt), we were at home and in good form following two really good wins. I fully expected to win..and why not. I did not think we would hammer them but thought we would have enough. Please fellow posters dont have a go at those of us that show a little faith/hope/confidence call it what you will in the team.

I think you articulate the case for why we rightly started the game as favourites. However, most of the posters optimism was with some caution in mind.

I'm not sure who the original poster is venting is spleen at. Is it the players? the club or the fans?

I think most fans who commented on here before the game were of the strong belief that we should win but Salford being the club we know there was plenty of scope for the manner of defeat that transpired.

Anyone who saw the home win against HKR and contrasted it with last night would have to say that we left the 5 to 10 percent in the dressing room which means the difference between winning and losing amongst teams of a similar standard.

OK probably shouldn't have pinned the blame to this forum but there seemed to be a overly high sense of giddyness amongst Salford fans after a couple of victories. Just like the OTT doom and gloom anytime we lose a couple.

Not sure why some Salford fans class the likes of Crusaders as 'such a poor team.' They finished in the play offs last season and stuck 46 past us in the first game of this season. Yes they have had a couple of bad defeats but so have we. Bet we both have a similar number of wins at the end of the season.
