Todays team, Mitchell replaced due to injury by Moore for his first start of the season. Kyle Hurst stars instead of Larkin.

Stuart Moore .. Should have the advantage of crosses at 6 foot 4 inches tall .. Hope so

Looks experienced, good luck to the lad.

3 minutes on clock and Tommy Rowe booked. It’s going to be a long game for Tommy now to keep out of further trouble

Come on Donny !!!!

Think he was unfortunate went for the ball and the Salford player ducked in with his head, the ball went in the direction of Rowe’s boot

7 | Salford's Louie Barry goes for the far corner from the edge of the box but sends his effort wide
0-0
COYR
-
10 | First hands on the ball for Stuart Moore as he comfortably claims a driven cross from Luke Bolton
0-0
COYR
-
Moore obviously not too familiar with the playing it out from the back routine … just blasted a ball out over the stand :)
-
What a defensive shambles 1-0
-
Oops, another bad start.
-
12 | Joseph Olowu is caught on the ball inside his own box by Callum Hendry, who lays off for Luke Bolton to lash high into the goal and put the hosts ahead
1-0
COYR
-
Oh dear
-
Yesssss … Miller!
1-1
-
Very poor from Olowu
-
Good lad George! Great goal.
-
14 | Luke Molyneux carries the ball forward and drills into the box with George Miller firing first time into the top corner.
Rovers are back level!
1-1
COYR
-
Great response hope we go on and take it because they don’t look great
-
Come Gorgeous keep it up let’s stop messing about with the ball at the back
-
Get in
-
Have we scored again?
-
No
-
20 | The hosts go close as Jason Lowe meets Elliot Watt's corner at the near post but cannot keep his header down
1-1
COYR

I think I would prefer blasting the ball over the stand than messing about at the back from a goal kick and giving a goal away.
-
21 | Another chance for the hosts. Callum Hendry drills on goal from a tight angle with Stuart Moore pushing the effort onto the far post
1-1
COYR

Tommy Rowe getting the run around.
-
24 | Stuart Moore gets down well to save a low strike from Louie Barry
1-1
COYR

Defence is a shambles, they look like Rabbits in headlights every time the ball goes in the box
-
30 | Charlie Seaman comes in off the right and goes for goal but cannot keep his shot down
1-1
COYR
-
Very poor attempt plenty of players in the box for once, took the wrong option. The pitch is bloody awful

2:1

Matches our club well then. Bloody shite.

Deary me … Moore fumbles a tame shot and it trickles into the back of the net.

38 | Stevie Mallan takes a shot from 30 yards and it drops through the hands of Stuart Moore
2-1

That's what happens when you leave it till the last minute to get a loan keeper
-
Shocking, both goals conceded from our own mistakes
-
Let's give other teams games for free.
-
They are light years ahead of us in performance
-
With a bit more nous we could score for fun against these. Trouble is, we also guaranteed to concede for fun.
-
That's what happens when you leave it till the last minute to get a loan keeper
We will have phoned around loads of clubs and picked the one that didn’t cost us anything in wages. They ain’t spending money that they don’t have too.
-
Great ball by Close but nobody in the box to tap it in
-
Two absolute gifts, but we’ve been crap, giving the ball away far too easily
-

-
Exactly what I expected today.
Salford are a big, hard, high pressing side and we look like kids against men.
We are losing every single physical battle. It's embarrassing to watch.
-
We’ve been very poor today all over the pitch the final ball is shocking

Welcome to the Comedy Club Stuart. You've slotted in well.

38 | Stevie Mallan takes a shot from 30 yards and it drops through the hands of Stuart Moore

Worse than Mitchell’s faux pas against AFC Wimbledon?
-
Can someone let Danny know we really need to win this. Yes 2 mistakes but still bloody poor performance.
Being giving the runaround by salford
-
Too many players not doing their jobs, Hurst and Molyneux are both anonymous and Olowu seems to be stuck in first gear

Yeah, let's make things up to criticise. Stick the boot in at every inappropriate opportunity.

Half time 2-1, poor defending and poor keeping has not helped one little bit

They might look pretty on the ball but I can’t say they’ve looked like scoring without our help
-

You can spend as much money asyou like, but you can’t legislate for akeeper having a howler
-
Sounds very uninspiring - and the bench looks a little thin also...
I hope they come out and have a go at them - even if we end up getting a stuffing. Lose this and the season is effectively over...
-
I'm struggling to recall us ever having a side with as little physicality about it as this one.
All you have to do is press is aggressively and we evaporate. It's astonishing that we have so little physical presence, pace or aggression in the squad.
That's all Salford are doing. They are athletic and aggressive and that's enough to look a division and a half better than us.

We announced his signing 10 minutes before announcing the starting line up.
Did he get a lift on Paul Mayfield’s bus from the supporters club weekend away in Blackpool?
We are a laughing stock and have been for going on 3 seasons.

Overall they’ve been slightly better than us which is what the table says. But without 2 howlers we’d be winning.
We can do this.

They’ll get four or five, with our crumbling defence

I think 63% possession and 10 shots to our 3 might suggest otherwise.

Disappointing? Congratulations Sir, you win the award for understatement of the season. It was disappointing when we lost on penalties to Charlton. Since then it has been utterly dreadful and worse, year on year.
-
You can't play out from the back on this pitch, but apparently our tmanager hinks you can. Woefully short back pass & bobs your uncle, apart from a decently worked goal we are shite.

If you do a bit of research you’ll see that he trained with the team yesterday and was only announced when it was to not let on to Salford that we had signed a keeper.

Stats don’t mean anything when it comes to the result, we’ve had similar stats in our favour and yet lost by 2 or 3 goals. It’s our nonexistent midfield and scared to death defence allowing them that much time on the ball however other than the save onto the post none of the other attempts have been anywhere near threatening. We seem asleep.

Wow we sure fooled them! How are they managing to cope tactically against us? Surprising them with that secret weapon must have really changed their game plan that they had been working on all week. Haha

You’ll not get very far using the truth with some folk mate, they don’t want to hear it

I can't find Salford's team line-up anywhere. Are Galbraith and McAleny playing?

Galbraith starter, McAleny on the bench.

Sounds very uninspiring - and the bench looks a little thin also...
I hope they come out and have a go at them - even if we end up getting a stuffing. Lose this and the season is effectively over...
What ? We can still win the title.
Thirty more points to play for after today so if Orient only pick up four more points and we win all ten of our games we would pip them to take the top spot.
(Tongue in cheek emoji here).

Biggins subbed with injury. Ravenhill replacing him.

Hurst and Molyneux need taking off, pair of lazy disinterested gets, not tracking players back and helping the defence out and not then pushing up to support Miller

We are a f**king shambles

15 minutes into the second half and we have hardly been in their half, when we do get the ball we give it them back

You can’t, we’ve looked a bit better since the subs so you have to ask why it took so long to make them. I mean it’s not like winning today would have put us within a game of the playoffs

It was optimistic before todays game.

All well and good excusing him for poor results because he's inherited a poor set of players.

Any professional side can absolutely dominate us if they do their homework.
Press us hard and aggressively and we haven't got the nous or the guts to cope.
Schofield can't wave a magic wand and turn a bunch of powder puff lightweights into competitors in this division.
No manager could.

He’s signed Brown and T Miller who are the same!
I understand he hasn’t got great players but there has to be a point where he has to be getting more out of these lot.
One shot on target, embarrassing.
-
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the manager have an opportunity to sign players in January with "physique or the stomach for a muscular fight"?
He signed 5 players on - half an outfield team.
That really is no excuse at this point I'm afraid.

Exactly. If that was the biggest problem you’d go and sign some big lumps not brown, Todd miller, lavery and Lakin!
This style of football is the thing that’s killing us.
-
To be fair I thought T Miller at least tried to ride challenges instead of shitting it and getting rid of ball before he got hit, which was the standard for most of the players through most of the game.

The players are poor, but the manager is totally clueless. He took the job on, & he' s failing, badly. His system & process simply does not work in this league. We start every game slowly, catious, & predictable. He takes a large part of the blame for me, for this absolute shambles.
-
It’s been said before. Refuel Performance Management only have 53 football players/ managers on their books. And 3 are at rovers. Schofield being one of them.
Our recruitment is very obviously short sighted. And a big part of the on field issues we are having.

Yet people say Lakin isn’t that good… he’s been the only player other than George Miller that offers anything like that
