I assume they will get more training and uidance this week....which they won't have got last week as Seamus and Liam were "surprise" omissions from the squad having picked up late injuries on Friday. Didn't think Tranmere had much of a cutting edge, just passed better up to and in and around the box.

On the positive side......rookies got valuable game time including.....Martin, Gubbins, Ben Woods........was particularly impressed with early signs from McEntire in goal (apart from the goal scored in the corner!)....Maybe unsighted? Couldn't tell from my angle.....

The ref, we'll it's just the normal inconsistent League 2 standard. The foul on Savin was at least a yellow card. Hope his shoulder injury is not too serious........nevertheless he could be number number 2 for several weeks.......Keep the Faith out there!.......as we are an inconsistent team we won't play that badly every week.....?

What I couldn't grasp was with two last minute enforced changes why make two more could have stayed with the back four of Mellor Hills Baghuelou Shipley and possibly played Quirk alongside Martin just a thought.
