I was surprised how enthusiastically the usually empty but fairly packed North Stand cheered our goal on the highlights, thinking that would be a lot of away, but perhaps there really are more floating celeb chasers than you'd expect.
It's the proverbial six-pointer which in years past would be cause for concern but SC is such a different proposition. Was refreshing hearing him talk after the draw last night and if anyone can get our rag-bag up for it, he's the man. Grimsby's poor run perhaps not the best omen, we're...
The Inniss suspension for Tuesday is a bit of a blow. He certainly earned his red with a couple of wayward clatterings but that's as much part of what makes him one of our better players willing to get stuck in. Maybe just tone it down a touch, eh Ryan?
While you'll always be nervous in our situation and with the red, it really was rarely complete backs to the wall bar one extended scramble right at the death. When you did get a decent cross over there was no-one attacking it. We weren't any better but had the excuse of stevens dropping out...
Hung on with ten men after some Inniss madness and a ridiculous eight minutes added and near ten played. SC has transformed this defence, should think Tranmere will be frustrated with their approach play, not much beyond the excellent Apter.
I'd say not, it really was a decent move. The much maligned Osadebe strong again, he's been great since joining. You were getting the upper hand for the latter part of the half by and large, though your two decent chances were mostly Apter doing it by himself. One mix up between JMT and out loan...
Excellent. Was a decent lower league contest with not too much goal mouth action, then Tranmere had a spell on top and Apter had a couple of decent efforts. Was thinking we were short of ideas going forward with Stevens pulling out last minute but then have just gone ahead at death with one of...
They did all that against Barrow so not sure why the same side couldn't do it again. Inconsistency is par for the course down here but even getting in early hours Wednesday can't believe they were that tired. Cotterill is our best hope of getting them going but he's a decent manager not a...
Scoreline a fair reflection. Crawley always first to the second ball and much neater going forward. Thought we might raise our game after the half having been in it but went backwards really.
Not top quality, Crawley had the better of it on bit of a rough pitch but chances at a premium so annoying to go behind to one of the few. Stood off a bit too long and allowed pressure to build for once. Still in it but will need to up our game a bit.
Unchanged, unsurprisingly. Hope Cotterill's confidence in McCann pays off, he's really fallen short of his price tag so far but SC refused to chuck him under the bus after his pass let Stockton in Tuesday. Surely there's a good player in there just waiting :D
