Shame we couldn't see it out. One of those opening day games where we will find out how good a result it was in about 6 weeks time. Good experience for the youngsters and it sounds like they have made a step to prove they deserve the chance.

I was full of trepidation before kick off, then worse when we let one in so early, then on cloud nine when we got two and then disappointed that the equalised however all being equal - HAPPY WITH A POINT.

I'd have taken Bowman off after 70, he was shot to pieces.

A point away at Salford on the first day of the season. Fantastic result in my opinion.

Salford will have the highest wage expenditure in the league and will be up there this season.

Pros - we look OK. Randall will go on to big things. McArdle just what we needed. Jay as always giving us a spark. Ward looking like he did at the start of last season.

Cons - same deadwood letting us down. Jake Taylor offers us nothing. All Sweeney did when he came on is foul. As long as they’re in and around the squad we won’t be going anywhere. We NEED a centre half.

Same old story... if we had a goal scoring striker, we’d have destroyed Salford today.

My glass is definitely half full. Lots of positives to be taken from that performance.

Very promising start.
Seems that Jay and Randall had a good understanding and were creative.
Great experience for the young lads, who didn't let anybody down. Have to be pleased with the result and performance away to.one of the favourites for the title
Well done!

An away point.That's an encouraging start to the season.2-2,could have 5-2.Page looks a good signing.Randell played well,gave us some momentum going forward.Thought the game passed the midfield 3 a bit(in particular Atangana.Were we too quick for them?

Feel now though attack may not be the problem area many of us thought it was but defensively we look shaky and have been throughout the preseason and the last two games prior to this have been conceding goals on a regular basis.
