A second half to forget - Tranmere home
 

Dire. From 3-0 up almost a home defeat as I forecast.

You couldn't make it up!
It only took 23 minutes to go from another season in L2 to the verge of the abyss.
The buck stops with Doolan.

Wouldn't count on beating Carlisle. They have a very good Sheffield Wednesday loanee.

My flabber is well and truly ghasted. The only minor consolation is that Morecambe didn’t win, which would have doomed us good and proper!

We're Doomed!...thank-you all.......good point today as I thought we'd lose to Tranmere........ we fight on until we're safe.....still more points than the bottom 2, 4 to go and its one game at a time......

Well , the match billed as “make or break” has neither made nor broken Stanley who were six points clear before the game, and are still six points clear.

It means that soubriquet passes to the next home game against Carlisle.
And probably all four of the final fixtures.

It was a massively, gut wrenching end to the game, with a typical panic stricken second half defensive performance, but, tbh, I came to the game expecting no better than a draw.

So, whether it was driven by drunken frustration, or a less than secret dislike of our current managers, I thought the booing from a very small section of the Clayton End pathetic.
The season’s not over, so either sober up and support the team to the end or stay away.

Well said Exile, we were all gutted at the final whistle but some of the scenes & reactions I witnessed made me question where I was & saddened me almost more than the result

Re: A second half to forget - Tranmere home
 

These sort of capitulations are happening far too regularly. Time for the two clowns in charge to go.

Re: A second half to forget - Tranmere home
 

Yes the buck stops with Doolan but the budget we have and the kind of players we can get plays a massive part.

Re: A second half to forget - Tranmere home
 

I couldn't believe the 16 min overtime, was the ref waiting until they scored the equalizer?

Re: A second half to forget - Tranmere home
 

Twas ever thus.
Where the massive budget that got us back into league football?
Where the millions that saw us promoted to League 1?
For the history of Stanley read; 'Shoe string budget' .
Our success in the past has defied all the rules of economic logic, so stating what is obvious is of little comfort.
It was built on polishing rough diamonds, on bargains bin rejects.
Our current predicament is due largely to wasting what budget we had over the past few seasons for a bloated squad of unused players; and we all know where the blame for that lay.
Looking back I wonder how we ever obtained the likes of Billy Kee, Paul Mullin & Kayden Jackson. Or the wing wizards Gary Roberts & Jordan Clark.
The midfield intelligence of Josh Windass & Matt Crooks and the defensive rocks Mark Hughes & Matty Pearson,
Let's be honest, our current squad is made up of unremarkable journeymen who are struggling to compete at this level.
Looking at the games we have left, away to Salford & Walsall & home to a resurgent Carlisle, I'm not feeling optimistic.
The second half collapse today could yet prove to be our downfall.
Get polishing Mr Doolan, we need another miracle

Re: A second half to forget - Tranmere home
 

In a nutshell.- yes

Re: A second half to forget - Tranmere home
 

Presumably these are the “clowns” (your word, not mine) who helped coach Stanley into League 1 and had one of the best U23 squads until it was sacrificed to offset the financial chaos of the playing squad wage bill.

Surely, if you really believe they are “clowns”, the blame lies with the genius “ringmaster” who brought them into the club?
