Match Thread Away v Tranmere Rovers Sat 26th Dec 3.00pm

Paudie was absolutely immense - very good pressing from the whole team.

Quality clean sheet, all said.

 

We won mate. Cheer up.

 

Great result, lovely Boxing Day.

 

Never understood how Prichard became, like a forgotten man under McCall

I reckon that Salford, Bolton, Tranmere and possibly Port Vale - genuinely have a better 16 players. I just do not see us as inferior to the rest

We must look up and give the play-offs a go. Ending up, say 9th after our start - will mean we've had the best second half to a season in four years

 

My I- follow 2 mins behind the finish

 

Another half decent striker snuffed out.

 

You'll have to watch it back again Jon. What I saw was Finn had two players and he had to go for the man with the ball otherwise they both would have ended up on the edge of the box. The guy Finn went to was Clarke's man. Clarke then ran behind him to get Finn's man.

 

Paudie looking more like the player we thought we were getting when we re signed him. Sutton breaking the line just like he did against Grimsby, looks a different player.

Long may it continue.

 

2 goals conceded in 4 games, 1 an own goal. This is dummies guide of how to be successful in lower league football. Today was the sort of performance that gets you the majority of your wins in a season.

 

8 points off 6th just saying

I think Finn stuck to his job well against a very difficult player and played his part in a great win

 

Great battling display,

 

McCall was a really poor manager. We finished 9th last season and still had 14/15 players from the last season. No way should we have found ourselves second from bottom and even in the bottom half.

I'm not saying we will get in the play offs but we won't go down. We need to kick on as we are doing and build on & off the pitch for next season.

 

Mine always is, my mate keeps messaging with goals before I see them

 

@Faithful Bantam - sounds like you're reconnecting to the team. Bet you're not the only one.

 

He has to wait with Ferrier.

There's no two ways about it.

The second he loses Ferrier, we deserve to concede. Charging forward and leaving your man is defending without discipline. The only option is to hold up play as much as possible and await reinforcements.

Absolutely the wrong thing to do, and the way it played out shows it.

 

What commitment what discipline, the lads again demonstrate they can stick resolutely to the plan.Non stop hassling and chasing lost causes now a strong team ethic. Great to see, nervy moments, yes, but again up to the challenge. Trueman again using his subs to good effect..not seen to much under previous management.

 

Agreed.

Paudie played like a League Two Nemanja Vidic out there.
