Indeed.

And that tells you everything you need to know about them.

Strength in the face of adversity first half. Great, battling performance second half.

Any of the Cook fanboys keeping a tally of how many League goals he has scored against us and how many times he has been substituted against us in the League. (To be fair, today's substitution was for injury.)
Regarding Cooky some of the shouting towards him from the main stand when he was down injured was pretty poor. The lad was obviously in trouble and was hurt lying prone with his head in his hands. Fair play to Farman and Vasell who came over to check on him
To be fair he got a good applause from the main stand when he went off and rightly so.

I agree he did but some of the calls towards him whilst lying there obviously injured were uncalled for and embarrassing

Really good post Mozz the only mistake you made was calling these moaners 'Dense'. That's paying the a compliment, very much a Barrovian trait. ' We are all doomed' Great second half performance once Clemence had chance to sort the individual's poitions and tactics.

The defence was always going to suffer without Canavan. He's head and shoulders above any of our other defenders.

Canavan is definitely not "head and shoulders" above Jackson, imho

I think Canavan has struggled this season no where near last seasons performances.

We have looked far more solid with him than without him and it was imo no coincidence our indifferent form started when he picked up his first injury this season

Could be stretching himself too far at times. I’m sure he will bounce back.

How come Spence wasn't in the squad for yesterday's game?

Concussion rules against Salford out for 10 days so won't be available on Saturday or for any potentially new Club.

I thought that, but the Salford player Mnoga who was taken off in the first half was in their starting lineup for yesterday's game.....

Club may have agreed not to play Spence before any potential transfer would make sense from both parties.
