Tranmere Match Thread

Quoted from ginnywings

5 points from the first 10 games, then 17 from the next 10. Think that constitutes an improvement in form, and just proves again that it's futile judging a side for the first dozen or so games of the season. Seems a long time ago that people were calling for MJ's head on a platter.

Without factoring in the points we would have taken off others but had our first 10 games been as good as our second 10 games, we would currently be 5th in the table, a point away from 3rd spot!

1.7 points per game is play off form! Seriously good turnaround. Jolley isn't getting ahead of himself. Always worth listening to him post match.always very measured and dispassionate as he was tonight after such a good win

My ‘top half’ bet is looking better today

Little mention of Pringle on here, for me he stood out, but great to see the whole of the midfield really gelling. And just having the likes of Embleton and Pringle playing alongside him must bring Clifton on and has shown to be doing this. Really pleased with how the whole team and subs performed last night.

With the lads we have in Hess, Embleton, our Harry, Pringle and Vernam it shouldnt work , , , its all youth and quite lightweight and very inexperienced but its working and its exciting and it goes to show you don't always need an old head in the middle or a mean hard man , , , its footballing brains which these lads have and the talent to match of course

Weird similarities with the England cricket team with no established number 3, someone traditional with a sound defence to dig in and build an innings? No fu8k it, lets go with a team of attacking batsmen to try and break the mould-improvise and challenge the established ways

Mine too.

Oh, and it's a good job midweek goals don't count in the buster eh?

I thought Pringle looked good on Saturday too against Northampton.. he just always seemed to be in the thick of it, and whilst he doesn't have the pace, he was always making runs and challenges. Think he's got some great potential.

Very true. And there lots more that press the panic button during a bad run. Steady progress I say peppered with nice moments like Akheems/Cardwells first goal. Worth hanging in there for moments like them and last night.

Typical. Missed three League home games within a year and we win all of them.  Maybe I should keep staying away on Tuesdays! I've never really been the superstitious type lol.
