Gaffers Verdict

 

(Ronnie Moore Speaks to Tranmere’s Official Website)

“We had some good chances in the first half but you can’t perform the way we did in the second, it’s totally unacceptable.

There’s no day off for them this week. It will be morning and afternoon. We have to be the fittest team in this division and there’s one thing for sure, we will be!

We sat too deep and gave them the ball away. Everything you didn’t want them to do we did.

We’ve gone from a side that looked organised and clinical at times and kept four or five clean sheets on the trot to a mediocre first division side on that  second half performance.

That’s not what the chairman wants and its certainly not what the fans want. “
