They are now into the last play off spot .
FGR or Exeter most realistically are going to be the
Only challengers , We need to beat Salford & deny the
Big Money lot yet another promotion .

Or do we care ?

It's a shame we haven't been a bit more consistent recently given results elsewhere. Could have been a last game decider.

No problem if Salford do make it personally.

Good luck to em tbh, they made their statement of intent to go for success when we floundered around. I don't expect much fight from our group of soon-to-be-releaseds and soon-to-be-moving-elsewheres

Tbf pressure will be on them and none on us though.

We usually play better once the pressure is off. Just know theyll be going up though.

Indeed, but I just can't see any effort or desire coming from ours now. Nothing to play for and many won't be here next season, on the beach mode (even if it is Southend rather than Spain)

The way some of you talk about Salford, you forget how little you cared about Bechetti’s money when he first took over.

Good luck to them. They’ve invested wisely and sensibly in the club.

Not sure about wisely and sensibly but they are spending within their owners means and not spending what they can't afford.

Good luck to them - and I hope that in a generations time there's something of a legacy there to whats being achieved today. I'd hate to see a boom & bust affair.

I think they’re in a similar position to us in that we have Travis on board and they have the Man Utd boys. There’s no way either club will be left in the sh*t with those at the helm.

(Could be a different matter if both clubs were solely owned by American/Far East interests, of course).

To me, if it’s within their means then it is sensible. They’re not putting Salford at risk.

They have Peter Lim as an investor and we have Kent Teague too

Don’t get the hang up about Salford just because they have a bit of money now. Good luck to them

It’s a bit of an obsession with some Orient fans. They seem to have got it into their head there’s a rivalry

Yes, I'm obviously aware of that. My point is that both have some local/genuine owners in there as well, that won't just get bored and walk away and leave a mess behind them.

Same with FGR. All bit of a nonsense.

I'd much rather they pip Salford to it.

As Mr Edinburgh said, just seconds before we were promoted in '19, "The table doesn't lie."

I'm sure we'd be in Salford's position if it wasnt for the fact that we've been managed by a pair of schmucks this season

Yeah I know, just adding that there’s even more similarities

Good luck to Salford. They know where they want to be, and they are doing whats necessary to achieve it.
I used to dislike them, but have done a 180, on that.
If they make and win the play-offs, then next season they will do whats needed to get into the championship too
