I couldnā€™t make the game tonight. Sounds familiar though, no DJ no goals.

This is the worry mate we just dont create enough same old again DJ can take his few chances but we cannot just rely on one player again.

To be honest, as soon as I realised Saddler was planning on playing 3/5 at the back I was glad I didnā€™t get a season ticket.

Iā€™m not a fan and never have been. You donā€™t need that many defensive players on the pitch and need quality players at wing back. Gordon is alright but he isnā€™t terrifying anyone down the left and Knowles is about as unproductive as they come.

Thatā€™s true lol

How can we change a system when we have zero width on the bench??.. 352 only works if the wingbacks are very advanced up the pitch(and of the right quality!!)ā€¦shoehorned knowles into that role on the right is ridiculous. Hope there is some serious planning going on!!!..quality going forward is still the same as last season

Well done to the 73 from Rochdale for a Friday night friendly, which I think would be about what Salford would manage for a meaningful game

The game happens around Matt. Painful to watch.

This lad Draper. Nuisance. Want to see more.

Third time lucky for Hutch.

Spot on. Exactly why the football league is poorer without Rochdale and with at least half a dozen sides in the third and fourth divisions.

His movement is brilliant

Great goal by Hutch

Hutch. Quality. Like weā€™ve always said.

So many on here have opinions which literally swing from ā€˜promotionā€™ to ā€˜relegationā€™ on the basis of a single game.
