Definitely. The best result we've had against them in about the last ten meetings was a 0-0 at their gaff, and i'm pretty sure they finished rock bottom of the league that season. It always seems like our players do idiotic things against them as well, obviously harris earlier this season and...
Funny how certain clubs seem to be magnetised to each other. The amount of times we've drawn peterborough in the fa cup since about 2004 is just stupid when you consider the sheer number of other teams we could have drawn in those earlier rounds. Always the fa cup as well, nothing else. We...
Very disappointed with our fellow league 2 clubs today for giving their prem opposition a proper game and losing by the odd goal. Thanks for rubbing in just how bad last night was.
Hoping for better etiquette from Newport and Oldham tomorrow.
One of those where the outcome seems perfectly simple, but Tranmere being Tranmere, and football being football, it would be no surprise to me whatsoever if we lose this.
Logical score: 3-0 to us
Probable score: 1-0 to Yeovil
Hardly a surprising revelation but it really is just a matter of who performs/does what's needed most often, who's most organised the most consistently. Then throw a bit of luck in and there you go. Sounds simple but of course it's not, it's bloody tough.
However, this division is unlike the...
Fair play, big Sol's doing the biz so far, probably promotion form since he took over? At this point, he might even be able to declare himself one of the greatest managers to have ever lived.
Our game on new year's day looks a lot more difficult than it did a month or so ago, as it's now...
Scored 17 and conceded 21 from our 10 away games so far, suggesting we're more than capable of bagging a few on our travels but simply can't defend for shit.
With that in mind, i can't see anything other than a 0-0.
Well if southport win the replay, they can make the trip to peterborough in the 3rd round instead.
And well done to woking for doing what we haven't been able to do in about 200 years...winning at swindon.
Agreed we need to do something urgently to tighten up in these away games. No need to go to brabin or parry lengths but letting in 3 or more repeatedly is useless. The 'we'll score one more than you' attitude you mention would be fine if we actually did score one more than them most of the time...
Sounds about right regarding the local coppers. But they don't just treat 'outsiders' like crap. I've only had one run in with the police in my entire life but it shook me up and still leaves a sour taste today. To put it briefly, i was accused of being a drug dealer because i happened to be...
If you create clear cut chances, win the game and restrict the other team to nothing but a long range free kick that hits the post, how are the tactics wrong?
I can't wait to see what happens when he gets it right if that's the case...
Don't agree that macc looked okay, i thought they were awful from start to finish. We weren't much better, if at all, in the first half, but in the second played some decent stuff and created enough to have won more comfortably.
Wouldn't say macc are a bogey team for us. Out of the 6 league games contested in the conference, we won 2 and drew 1. Hardly that bad a record. Swindon are what you call a bogey team, they've beaten us pretty much every time they've played us in the last decade. And there's been plenty of...
Yeh, i'm not surprised the beers were inedible, but i think you might find that to be the case most places you go. Very tough to find a beer you can eat as well as drink.
Steady on now, last time we were in this league some of our fans started talking about playoffs after a brief mid season resurgence, then we finished rock bottom.
8 games in and we're doing just fine, probably better than expected, but it is just 8 games. I'm still concentrating on keeping...
I'd say better than Swindon as well. We were on course to pummel them until harris did his bruce lee impression. For the 20 minutes it was 11 v 11 they were all over the show, and i very much doubt we would have lost had it stayed that way.
Any other team we would have just gone on to beat 4-0 today, but because it's swindon we get a man sent off at 2-0 up on 18 mins and lose to a pathetic own goal
