Ok....... Maybe so but very much doubt it.

So just explain the Crooks debacle please ?

Re: Team for Tranmere
 

I can see what he was doing with crooks, but I accept the point about it being costly at times not having a natural finisher in the role.
Truth be told, there are not alot of options around on loan for what we are after.

Re: Team for Tranmere
 

What can you see about playing a CB as CF 5 times when there's far better options in the squad and then just get pig-headed and wrongly stick with it when rightly criticised ?

Beatties hoof ball!! When was that I can't remember hoof football under beats! Pass and run played the ball on the floor.

Re: Team for Tranmere
 

I think we could all see what he was doing with Crooks, but it was obvious to us that it was like watching a baby giraffe run about up front after about half an hour whereas it took Coley a month to see it because he was playing favourites or he was forced into playing him by the terms of the loan deal.

The lad played for Hartlepool at the Crown in Stanley's 3-1 win back in October and skied one chance over the Clayton End from 12 yards and put another out for a throw-in from a similar range. If that wasn't indication enough that he wasn't a striker then Christ knows what Coley was waiting to see.

Interestingly, reports from Huddersfield have him down as a central midfielder or a central defender, so maybe he is a decent player if he's put in the right position but we'll never know from his time at Stanley.

Re: Team for Tranmere
 

When he first came i mentioned he caught my eye when he came on for Hartlepool.
I remember him giving Rob a few problems and would have scored,but Jess pulled off a good save.
Wonder why Hartlepool played him up top as well ?.
Coley probably remembered him and thought there was potential in converting him into a 6-5 Liam Dickinson type of player(he always caused problems).
He must be good in the air if he played centre back,but strangely didn't show it.
You had to give him a run of games to get a true opinion,but i think our passing style exposed his limitations.
Hope he does well in his career,but as others have said he has to keep on improving

94th at Mansfield! We met three blokes on the station afterwards who thought Mansfield had won! :)

Re: Team for Tranmere
 

Beatties setting up for a draw "1 point is better than none" tactic would have put us out in the first round!

Re: Team for Tranmere
 

Well Colemans tactic sure as hell put us out in the second. J.B.s tactics are your speculation, Colemans every one yon could see.

I propose "staying to the end" as one of the essential criteria for "fan of the year" :D

Re: Team for Tranmere
 

I propose an automatic ban for taking a photograph of a photograph and posting it on line to pretend you were at a match.

Re: Team for Tranmere
 

Expecting the "fan of the year" to attend games never mind stay to the end

"How pathetic"!!

Re: Team for Tranmere
 

good evening to all my fans,
how are you today?

How come I didnt see any of you at Tranmere?

Re: Team for Tranmere
 

Either you weren't there or you didn't stay long enough to be noticed. You probably won't see anybody next week or the week after either :D

Re: Team for Tranmere
