Match Thread Most liked posts in thread: Away v Colchester Utd Easter Monday April 18 @3.00pm

Reality is we’ve had poor recruitment for a long while. Ryan Sparks has overseen 4 managers, turnover of c40 players coming and going in past 18 months and more sound bites than home wins this season.

We have the one of the worst squad of players (barring Scunthorpe) in this League.

when you look at the accounts of Sutton, Forest Green, Newport and Northampton - their budgets are much lower than ours and in Sutton’s case significantly lower. All are outperforming us on the pitch.

Until we have good leadership and a culture that supports a winning mentality, we’ll continue as is. I hope the update coming summer provides time for proper thought, reflecting and player planning. Some of the players we’ve signed in past 6 months (Robinson, Delfonso, Elliott etc) we should be no where near yet they are in our squad.

and we have one or the highest agents costs in L2. Go figure that for sighing total dross!

 

Seems some can't acknowledge a bit of positivity, in the few games Hughes has been in charge we have improved more or less game on game lets just enjoy whats left of the season.
https://bantamtalk.com/index.php?threads/tranmere-home-friday-15th-april-2022.6087/page-2#post-630675 I said unbeaten but as you say 4 straight wins is not beyond us, Sutton are going well but as we've seen ourselves in the past the final few games have massive pressure on teams trying to cement a play off place.

 

You have to approach every game in the mind that you can win, anything else and your beaten before you start.
By the way I didn’t predict 4 straight wins merely stated it wasn’t beyond us

 

The balls into the box from the fullbacks was woeful on the day.

 

Cooke has gone off the boil and doesn't seem to be trying to get on the ball for some reason. I don't think he'll be with us next season. Playing off former glories for me. Hasn't had a substantial impact in a match for some time, months maybe.

 

Cook is finished at EFL level. He would struggle to get a game at Halifax in my opinion

 

What a shame after Friday

 

Own the moment.

 

if it wasn’t already obvious, A big clear out in the summer is needed

I just hope that Hughes doesn’t get disheartened by how big of a job he has on his hands, an choses to leave before we can even get around to a rebuild

 

I say we put our best 11 out on Saturday and have the best of the under 19’s on the bench.

 

Omari Patricks goal currently puts Carlisle ahead of us.Oh the indignity

 

Well it was a top 5 budget, it was just wasted on shite by Adams

 

If there was something that said he was learning then it would be that he subbed Threlkeld at HT.

He would probably have made a different third change but another stupid sending off made it hard for him!

 

Until today I would have kept Sutton....not bothered now

 

I've never been able to fault Robinsons desire. He's just not very good at football.

 

Watts red card can’t be overturned as it was 2 yellows unfortunately

 

How many clear cut chances did we have against Tranmere though? Got to create them to miss them as well.

Some very good wing play on Friday and some fairly poor balls into the box.

 

Probably the worst side we've named all season that.

Hughes giving everyone a chance which is fair enough but I'd rather the young lads got a game ahead of the likes of Threlkeld, Evans and Lavery.

 

Another way of looking at it is Hughes is more or less decided on Hendrie and only has 4 games left to make a decision on others - at least we definitely have possibilities from the bench today

 

I think one last look before shipping them out or maybe keeping.
