[Who Needs Mourinho]

no idea really - might even be 3-5-2 with Gotts at LB

Was going to say your team looks confusing to me so glad I’m not the only one.

It appears whatever formation there is going to be at least one player out of position.

Also you’ve only got six subs which is strange.

Looks like we’re lining up 3-5-2. Happe on the left of a three is a disaster waiting to happen. No legs in central midfield either. Lacking confidence for this one.

 

[Chief Rocka]

Aye, guessing Mayonnaise can’t play due to playing his parent club, and not sure we have anyone else haha.

Ndjoli and Gray must be knackered are they?

Appears that way

Is Charles Breakspear officiating anywhere? One set of fans there will be irate.

Don’t count your chickens… We’ve got Jeremy Simpson, the last time I saw him doing a Rovers home game, we lost 0-5 to Peterborough.

View attachment 17477Looks like we’re lining up 3-5-2. Happe on the left of a three is a disaster waiting to happen. No legs in central midfield either. Lacking confidence for this one.

We have 3 game changers on the bench in Taylor (centre forward), Cropper (long throwing full back) and Maguire-Drew (winger). Happy with the starting 11 too.

 

[Boz]

Rovers starting xi is strong but no central defender and only a youth striker on the bench, with neither midweek signing match-fit. Think it’s a game where we need things to go right from the kick-off.

Tranmere’s development team CB Jameson starts today

 

[Conker]

Dreadful opening ten minutes for Mansfield, barely strung a pass together and some comical defending resulted in a Salford goal.

 

[LS Bantam]

Odadebe’s leg broken, six minutes in, referee gives a yellow.

 

[Who Needs Mourinho]

It seems we might be destined to lose on the opening day for eternity.

 

[Chief Rocka]

Normal service resumed for us!

 

[Conker]

Another shocking mistake gives Asante a 1v1 - great finish. Absymal first half from Mansfield.

Boateng just missed a sitter too! Not missed this type of performance lol.

 

[Who Needs Mourinho]

Well this is going well haha.

 

[Casey]

It took 28 minutes but we've had a shot!

Kewell ball is alive and well.

Casey

 

[Casey]

We have 66% possession and we are getting the run around!

[Soup Ladle]

Jesus we look absolutely horrific

 

[Koumas’Right-Boot]

Ok Jameson is as awful as suggested. Missing Davies and Turnbull not ideal. Jameson nearly scored a 20 yard own goal ontop of gifting four or five chances Stevenage should have scored from.

 

[Optimistic Poolie]

Jesus we look absolutely horrific

Very scrappy, creating our own problems giving the ball away in dangerous areas. Everybody looks extremely nervous.

 

[shoddycollins]

Surprised its that high but we have sat off a bit since we could have been 3 up in the first 15 minutes. Since then your delivery has been pretty poor but the fact you have it is enough to worry me, you have two good strikers and it only takes one mistake by us unless we can grab the game by the scruff again.

 

[Chief Rocka]

What happened to Tomlin in that Bradford game, two yellows in 45+5?

 

[chipmunx]

so far so good. not counting any chickens yet though

 

[WilsdenBantam]

Tomlin is an embarrassment as if his weight and performance wasn’t bad enough, that has to be one of the most daft reds ever I’d look to terminate his contract unprofessional in every way.

Think we’re having a competition to see who can be worse.

Least you came into it with low expectations.

I can't describe in adequate words how bad that half was, I'm having nightmares already.

 

[Monkey Tennis]

I may have been a bit pessimistic here (still time for us to throw it away).

It’s been grim, hasn’t it. What concerns me as much as the defensive shambles has been the total lack of any attacking play from Rovers one daisy-cutter the only thing remotely like a shot.

And away from home, and we will get better, welcome to the elf.
you know that little step up.

elf's can only make little steps

 

[EricSabin]

First 45 minutes already had a terrible penalty given against us
