Ive just read mate your going under the knife, good luck mate

 

Someone check iin on Banbrotam.

 

A common denominator amongst our decline in the past 5 years or so

 

So is Hodges.

 

Jones saying no leadership in the team.
Is anybody surprised when you look at the dugout and Hughes is sat down legs crossed looking as bored as we are.
Leadership starts from the manager and he looks like he’d rather be anywhere else during matches.

 

I'll go on Saturday, but...

... if Sparks doesn't swing the axe, I'll be sorely tempted to stay home.

It's time.

 

I think it's all over, but Sparks has to have the guts to call Hughes into his office and explain - while Hughes completely disagrees - that's it time.

I'd understand Hughes' position, because it's only 2 league defeat in a row... but that's not the problem.

Awful performance against Grimsby and Harrogate where our massive squad looked like a complete waste of money.
Out of the cup (fair enough).
Shocking defeat to Walsall, and a loss against an abysmal Tranmere side who didn't even play well.

Sorry, Mark, even if you think it's harsh (like Derek Adams thought his dismissal was harsh), it's not.

 

I have a feeling there will be some very disappointed Bradford City fans tomorrow I don't think we'll sack him.
Just a gut feeling.

 

To be fair he was hardly rushed back. Eased back into full training and two appearances off the bench before starting today.

 

Disagree. Adams was an arrogant prick. Hughes hasn’t come across as a big time Charlie at all. I like his understated demeanour. I just dislike his turgid football and can’t see any improvement.

 

Agree it’s not a personality thing with Hughes, the fans would love him if we were playing decent football. I don’t think anyone could ever warm to Adams. I wish Hughes all the best, but it needs to be somewhere else than here.

 

When Hughes came over to the fans last night and the fans were singing’You’re getting sacked in the morning’ did anyone else notice Stubbs waving his hands in a don’t sing that sort of way and had to be turned around by Hodges.

This isn’t good at all for our club and something needs sorting quickly ,we could easily be the biggest non league club with performances that are more relegation than promotion.

 

I think it gave it away when Pattison came out on crutches .

 

Bet placed at 17/2.



Ps Pull yer finger out The Voice, no winners for a while....

 

Strange mindset IMO Edin. Each to their own but I could never will the team to lose, no matter if it might be for the greater good or not. Especially when i'm going to the game

You must've been elated walking out of VP on Saturday

 

Tranmere have lost 8 of their last 9 games (7 league, 2 cup) scoring 9 and conceding 20 in that time

After what happened on Saturday, nothing less than a win is acceptable tonight. Zero excuses. I won't be happy walking away from Prenton Park with a draw, let alone a loss

 

I won't be walking anywhere near Prenton Park, but totally agree. A draw tonight is a poor result

 

You’d like to think that Rupp & Sparks would have approached someone like Baldwin for advice or spoken to Jewell. People with ties to the club or even other DoF’s at other clubs. There must be examples of people out there working at smaller clubs with proven results who would like to take on a bigger role. There’s no guarantee, but it must be cheaper than throwing money away as we seem to be doing at the moment. Would you seriously inject more money into current set up based on already having 32 professionals in the squad? The likelihood is, most of it would be used to pay off contracts of players signed on 2 and 3 year deals, after having made less than 10 starts for the club.

 

Always a good away day at Tranmere. I usually go in the marquee behind the main stand before the game where they welcome away fans for a few over priced pints of flat lager.

Usually has the footy on if it's a midweek European night though.

 

Our support is fantastic yet there's some people (surely a very small minority) that attribute our struggle to being the fans fault, cheap season tickets etc. If things keep going the way they are then they'll certainly find out that isn't the case.

1000 on a Tuesday night in Tranmere, after a miserable start to the season and years of misery. Imagine if this clubs performances were linked to fan turnout/loyalty....if only
