Just watched FLS, so here are my thoughts on the three Tranmere goals:

First goal - Conneely tries to do too much and gets caught, then Mingoia puts in a weak challenge. Both of them are about 10 yards too far upfield which means Atkinson has to come over to try and stop the cross and Joyce drops back into central defence. Aldred appears too flat-footed whilst Donnelly is very alert and gets across him to get the shot away. It looks to be straight at Macey having viewed it a couple of times but it's not exactly a howler and there was some power on the shot so he can have the benefit of the doubt.

Second goal - Winnard comes up to press the Tranmere player on the halfway line and the deft pass beats him to set Taylor away with Naismith trailing far behind not tracking the run. The cross looks to hit Atkinson mid-stride - but it does look easier to concede a corner - and Fenelon has ample time and space to slam home as Aldred was drawn out to RB trying to stop the cross because Naismith/Winnard had given Taylor the freedom of their side of the pitch.

Third goal - The full-build up wasn't shown but, from what I saw, Conneely was again out of position as Donnelly had a good five yards or so on him and he raced away, exchanged passes with Odejayi before shaking off Conneely, who would have given away a penalty and probably a red card had he fouled him, to curl into the corner past Macey, who had no chance.
