Heart and life long blinkered support says 2:1 WIN, head and in a strange way “hope” says 2:0 defeat… I want this gone so badly I will not be overly bothered with another dire showing as my belief and expectations that this season ends in celebration has evaporated and therefore my hope is another defeat means we could be a step closer to his exit
I will have partaken in strong drink on the way there; a necessary fortification for what might well be another underwhelming evening.
Another draw, I think.
I’m off to Aus in a couple of weeks so this and Crewe will be my last away games.
So, the season is grinding to a halt for me even earlier on than for most - even at my most optimistic I can’t see us going anywhere from here.
As for Mr. Sadler - again I don’t know.
If he goes now, who steers the ship until the end of the season and sorts out retained and released, if he is sacked end of the season, delay whilst replaced, delay/uncertainty in recruitment, if he stays - well then the fun starts.
Our away form is certainly better than our home form and Salford are not that consistent on home turf so who knows. I want us to win and equally I want MS gone but whatever happens tonight he’s going nowhere.
I have forecast wins for our last home games but to no avail. We have done well against Salford recently so a defeat is coming. 2-0 to the over financed and under supported home team.
I have a good feeling about tonight. On reflection the last 2 home performances have been better whilst not giving us what we deserved from them. I think this demonstrates the players are still playing for the gaffer. Our away performances and results however have remained broadly very good and I think we will continue that against a Salford outfit themselves not in the best of form. The Peninsula Stadium is not an easy place to go at the best of times but we have previous there which bodes well.
Yes I should have realised you were talking about away games. I am going to Crewe on Saturday as my daughter lives in Sandbach (7 minutes on the train) so if we lose I shall at least have a good time there.
