    Absolutely! Win at home and draw away=promotion. The Walsall result was far more concerning.

    My comment was setting a hypothetical scenario. I think you'll be right!

    I havent watched the game nor the highlights but it sounds like walsall played for the point when it went down to ten men. Think if we had a tiny bit of luck we would have won. Personally dont think its much to worry about. Tomorrow will be interesting win that and its good signs

    It wasn't luck we were short of it was 'nous' , don't remember us having any free kicks around the box in that second half onslaught, should have done a 'Grealish' and gone down if touched....

    It was pretty brainless to just keep pumping in crosses from wide which their three tall CBs dealt with easily. I'm not advocating diving, but we have a number of good dribblers in our attack. It would have been worth trying some direct runs with the ball in and around the box to try to win free kicks or penalties. I know it was crowded, because they withdrew behind the ball, but it only takes one misplaced tackle to get a potentially game-winning penalty.
    And a few shots from outside the box were worth a go too.

    @TangerineDream@TangerineDream with a username like that, I assume your support for Salford goes back before the 'takeover'?

    @StaffordBantam@StaffordBantam is correct.
    They suddenly discovered ‘red’ when the gang of 92 took an interest (I wonder why).

    Shouldn't we be aiming to win every game?

    Most stopping in city centre hotels by the look of it, every budget hotel in manchesta is fully booked.

    My daughter had real problems getting somewhere for her gang to stay and she was looking six months ago
    Too right dave.

    Absolutely. But in the real world, even Real Madrid (see how l did that) have never achieved that.

    If you win all your home games and draw all your away games you get 92 points and promotion.

    Again highly unlikely, but as an aggregate total number of points, it is a vary good target.

    I think part of Derek's success as a manager is due to the clear and concise instructions he'll give the players. No "umming" and "aahing" straight to the point in the way he wants to play. Certainly no extravagancies like the "one million per cent" as favoured by a recent man in the hot seat! The players will be in no doubt as to their expected roles in each forthcoming game.

    Nice pun.

    So aim is 90 points now, after picking up 4 points away?

    Aside, let's hope for a positive performance tomorrow coupled with 3 points. Marker tomorrow, across the league.

    My aim at the start of the season is 90 points. Doesn't last long.

    Aim was promotion, whatever the means.

    Anything else will be an abject failure
