Poor game between 2 bang average sides. Have to admit I'm a little surprised at Tranmere's position based on their performance, though looked solid enough at the back. Need to get a win soon to keep in touch with the top 7 and a winnable little run coming up.
Crazy how reliant we are on Gary...
Sounds like Col U are in a similar situation with injuries, but even so think we may well set up for a niggly, time-wastey 0-0.
We need Gary Warren back asap.
Massively missed Warren at the back today, desperately hope he is fit for Tuesday. No complaints over the result, beaten by the better side and 3 excellent goals.
We really need to find someone that can take a penalty.
I agree totally with this. While we do have an improved budget, I wouldn't have said we have anything more than a mid-table squad on paper, but we have a balance and consistency that has been lacking for a long time.
Way has come in for a lot of criticism in the past couple of seasons, with a...
Good to hear he's doing well for you, hope he can sustain it for the full season this time.
Is there any word your end as to whether we have a sell on? I certainly hope we do...
Very strange comment, with the exception of Sowunmi and perhaps a couple of the more experienced guys i really don't know who would be a bigger than average wage...
Maybe we're just horribly overpaying, but even then surely nothing compared to County, Lincoln, Mansfield etc.
After 30 mins of absolute chaos a decent game broke out, both sides looked dangerous going forward and will probably feel they could have won it - draw a fair result.
While it's admirable to play out from the back I am really not sure if we have the players capable of doing so - and cost us the...
Agree with the both the team and scoreline.
I dread to think what that leaves on our bench. A 40 odd year old keeper coach, a half fit Gary Warren and 5 kids with about 4 league games between them?
Hope Khan gets a good reception, was an excellent player in the main for us - knowing our fans...
Sorry meant to say right back (although has played plenty at left back for us) so probably would be intended as competition for their right side (Nyom/Dawson?) if he was to move. Seems to have been picked up by their local media now, and was 'rested' from our final pre-season so might well be...
Our left back Tom James being linked with yet another move away, this time to West Brom for £350k. These rumours have been on and off for months now, but no sign of anything concrete as yet - hopefully we can't hold on to him until January at least as he's not Championship standard yet imo.
The line up has been pretty consistent through pre-season so I expect Zoko to start in place of Fisher - I'd also personally prefer Mugabi to start over Donnellan.
We've looked far better this pre-season than last year, so i'm hopeful that last year's aberration won't be repeated.
Squad still...
While I think we will be ok, i wouldn't be complacent with the run-in we have. After next Saturday we play the entire top half, bar Crawley, and I certainly wouldn't want to be dragged back in to the thick of the scrap and needing anything much going in to our last 6 of Coventry, Luton, Wycombe...
Spectacularly inconsistent, veering from good to abysmal, often within games.
It's frustrating to watch, as individually we have some good players but an unbalanced squad and Way has yet to find a formation that works away from home - putting a lot of pressure on us to pick points up at home...
