Interesting..

...but 2-0 down after twenty five minutes.:eek:

Re: Team for Tranmere
 

Sounds like we haven't turned up yet! Maybe we should change our kick off time to quarter to 4, we often don't start playing till half time

3 shots on target, three goals to Tranmere (according to BBC stats).
Did we keep the wrong loan keeper, or just one of those days?

Re: Team for Tranmere
 

0-3.....

Sounded absolutely dreadful.

Lost for words - will wait for reports from those who travelled to the game but can't understand why the new lad, Coneely wasn't subbed if like Sam reported he was struggling with the pace of the player he was up against, we had both Lidds & Hunt on the bench yet it was decided instead that he swap places with Deano.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming the defeat on that alone but it was just one decision that didn't make any sense to me

You can bet your life that JC and JB will be in no way to blame for this defeat or any strange substitutions or team selections made. Ask Dav007. ;)

Re: Team for Tranmere
 

Who was responsible for the first goal!!!!!

Re: Team for Tranmere
 

Don't think the keeper was to blame for any of the goals ,pulled a couple of great saves off later.

Just back from the game and on request !!,I will give you my opinion before the bitching starts :)
We never got to grips with big Kay's physical presence and he verged on bullying our CBs (who under performed on the day).
This was bad enough,but when you have Rory Donnelly playing alongside,you are really up against it.
The lad is a class act and was courted by Liverpool and Everton before signing for Swansea.
Take them out the equation and we played some decent football and created numerous clear cut chances.
On the new lads,the left back looked composed and good technique but lacked a yard of pace and Donnelly latched onto him
The keeper is still to convince me as he never had a shot to save or cross to catch for 80 minutes (3 shots,3goals).
For me,I would have played lids,but he may have got the same rinsing.
Positives,we stuck to trying to play football and young windass did well when he replaced Proccy.
If we had there front men,we would have won 5-0 no problem

Re: Team for Tranmere
 

If the team had played like that under Beattie...DAV would want his head.Coleman hadn't a clue how to play Tranmere,the worst performance I have seen,worse than Carlisle.
