    Or looking at in another way, two decent enough teams (for this level) largely cancelling each other out.

    I couldn't comment until I saw it on the video as we were in the small stand at the side it was not
    the best of views to see what was happening that end.
    As I'd posted we dealt so well with everything they had thrown at us free kick/dead ball wise then to lose it in the last minute was like a kick in the b***s.

    The cross should have been dealt with by the keeper who stayed on his line, The goal is mainly down to ROD because had he come then Robinson would not be in the position he was trying to defend a ball that should not be allowed to get to him

    As I posted I was commenting on what another fan said it wasn't the best view, as it was a last minute corner there was 19/20 players in the box.
    Looking at the video clip it was poor defending, I didn't use the excuse of being tired, it was last chance saloon Salford went for it we didn't defend it as well as we should, not the end of the world although it felt like that at the final whistle.
    And Adams didn't make us feel any better by applauding us fans, as I said Sutton on for fresh legs made sense with Robinson on the last 10 minutes to play along side Cook who had run his socks off as our lone striker.

    Its quite funny as the lad who made the comment about Robinson pulled me for saying Cook should have buried that header he said it was Vernam, I said no suprise there then.
    The guys sat around said your right mate it was Cook, he then appologised accepting it wasn't Vernam.
    I'm a big lad mate I know it wasn't a dig at me.
    Just to add we were about 15 ft from where Morris took a corner first half so as he came across I shouted "see you made the big time Josh Salford City" to which he turned round with a sly grin on his face, maybe he'd have taken Fordys bait but he wasn't taking mine :joy:.

    That is one of the strangest comments I have read. There is only one player to blame for conceding that goal and that is Robinson. He let his man go, didn't track him and he scored. You don't leave your man because you think your keeper should come and deal with it. If that was the case, nobody would ever mark the man at the back post.

    I'll have to have another watch of the video, it was certainly a bad time to concede, you'd have thought they had won the league.

    You are both right and wrong, In professional football the first mistake is the one that counts, Robinson should have better marked the scorer but had the keeper dealt with it the ball would not have reached him to defend, It was at a keepers height and in the keepers domain the six yard box and his to deal with,As has happened many times before he stayed on his line and was at fault

    Has anyone ever seen O"Donnell come off his line and routinely take a clean catch of a corner straight from the taker the way 91 other keepers do three or four times a match ?

    No, neither have I.i don't care what brickbats I get, he's an awful keeper.

    This is going to be fun and games ain't it. We have ripped up our recruitment plan for Derek and there is a good chance he won't make Christmas now.

    Absolute merry go round of a club

    You so sure?

    Digs in pre season about the squad depth
    Moans about transfers in
    Clash with recruitment manager, Turnbull gone
    Prickly in every interview refusing straight answers
    Team under pressure already
