Yeovil Town v Tranmere Rovers Match Discussion
By Deadly Submarine
January 13 2012
If you can't make Tranmere's game away at Yeovil Town on Saturday afternoon, why not join in the banter right here with other Rovers fans who are unable to attend......
For those fans who can't make some of the Rovers games this season, particularly the more costly and time consuming southern away games, we at Total Tranmere will be providing a Match Discussion Thread on the Site for every Rovers game.
The thread will allow you to discuss everything from the pre-match build up and starting line-up to the game it as it progresses and the post-match analysis.
Where possible, Total Tranmere staff will post up the starting line-up and substitutes on the thread as soon as it is made known at the game as well as a half-time report on how the game is going for the benefit of those who are unable to make it.
Tranmere of course travel to Yeovil Town on Saturday afternoon in NPower League One so if you're not going to the game why not join in the banter right here while the game is going on?
Maybe if you have a friend or family member texting you from the game you can post their views here for others to see as the game progresses.
You could also use this thread to discuss other interesting scores throughout the league as well as discussing this game afterwards if you have been along to the game.
What you discuss below is up to you but hopefully it can all be focused on one thread to make it easier for everyone to use.
Admin staff will try and add the team and updates on the game on this thread where possible whilst there will also be our usual update service from our Twitter feed @totaltranmere so if you are not already following us it may be worth doing so!

Cant see us getting anything tbh not without Robbo or Baxter.
Most managers would change formation now but lets see what Les does, im not a big fan of this 433 nonsense because its not 433 it always ends up 451 and a loan striker is just ridiculas unless youve got very good attacking wingers.
Dont get me wrong im gratefull to Les for keeping us up and hes done a much better job than dumb & dumber, he also has a good eye for a player but he is tactically inept and he has no plan b.
I think he needed to keep the back room staff he had, since we lost the chief & Garnet went to the youth team things have took a turn for the worse tactically.
Mind you its normally at times like these that the Rovers supprise me its just a pity Yeovil are in a relegation battle if they where top of the league id have more hope lol
Keep the faith.

Devanney and Joss left on the bench seems very strange there is a lack of creatvitiy anyway without leaving out devanney and looks like ash in midfield seems baffling lets just hope it pays off

another good start let's ee what they have learnt
Lost 2-1 not good , trap door getting near we need a win against Rochdale no if`s or but`s no draw`s. Les this is the one we have to stand up and grind a win out we need a formation
that`s attack is the main ingredient ,this is the moment the chalk line is drawn Les.

Belmont you are right we need to go at them and take the game to them and get the 3 points but lets face it we all now what formation will be used again even though it doesnt work.
This really was a poor result we have now won 1 in 12 which is just not good enough les should walk as he is just not upto the job.

The gradual deterioration of the club continues- Declining crowds,poorer squads and a philosophy of no regard for remaining loyal supporters.Return to division 2 next season will allow further reduction of player wages as existing squad are released.
Perhaps in future a return to division 1 with 'new' fresh set up .

I think Yeovil were a touch lucky. Scoring late and Weir hit the bar, the worst thing is Tranmere could have been 12 points clear of thme not 6.
Les clearly tried a different tack today, but why Devaney and Labadie were benched is beyond me.
Good for McGurk getting a goal. Hopefully Tranmere will get one or two loan players soon, because this situation needs addressing and quickly.
Then I ate his Liver.......... with some baked beans and a can of coke.

Agree Matt that to bench labadie & devanney was just odd to say the least he should have left akins out who hasnt really contributed in a while.

I think one win in the past twelve games is beyond the opposition being a touch lucky.

He was only talking about todays game !
From hearing the almost identical things some players have said on Twitter it seems they think we were unlucky (either that or Les has drilled it into them at full time that we were).
However this is far from the case. Yes we started well for the opening ten minutes but our defence looked poor throughout and the midfield was absent for long periods. Only a few minutes after we scored the home side were in behind our awful back line and our hesitant keeper was slow to come out but just managed to block the shot on that occasion (not so lucky shortly afterwards).
We had a spell ten minutes from the end where we also did OK but that aside a deserved win for a pretty dire home side and just no effort or heart from the players.
Stand out players were Ash Taylor in CM and Adam McGurk on the left while Tiryaki did work hard but missed a few chances with which he should have done better with.
All in all a game we shouldn't be losing and no favours done by Les to his own situation.

Ash Taylor did well for 60 minutes, Tiryaki MOTM by a mile, best performance yet. Should have scored one but his hold up play, his flicks and touches, and the amount of free kicks he won (including the one we scored from)... superb performance.
As for the other 9, not good enough.
The players on Twitter are doing my head in. Going on about us being unlucky etc.. its not unlucky at all, we're just shite tactically. It's hardly the first time we've defended for the final 15 mins of a game and conceded, Les will never bloody learn. So frustrating.

I was referring ot the Yeovil game though. I don't think losing as many games in the past 2 months, as has been the case, is a touch unlucky, as some of those were just very ineffective performances, but yesterday yes a touch unlucky, what with a late goal and hitting of the post, which Les indicates looked like the ball deviating off a pitch divot on the way.
The fact Tranmere were playing Yeovil, makes the impact of the result worse. Yes the team didn't drop down the table, but a potential 3 places and a 12 point margin from danger, became 0 places and 6 points and that adds to the sense of dissapointment I feel.
I still believe things will improve and the coming games are mostly winnable so I'm still looking forward not back.

How frustrating to hear the same comments from Les after every game - "must do better in front of goal" Why aren't they spending hours on the training ground just hitting Barn Doors? I've said all season that we never know how good our opponents goalkeepers are - because they never have any saves to make. Can't score, can't defend for a full match and now on the same points as last season at this point. Based on the last dozen games we are heading for relegation, unles ClueLESs and his coaching (?) team don't get their act together. Couldn't believe he'd left Devaney and Labadie on the bench. Where is he coming from? If we can't score goals why doesn't he give one or two of the youngsters a go? They couldn't do much worse, could they? We might find another Dale Jennings in there somewhere. Rochdale is now a MUST win game, but that's putting pressure on "the lads" and we know that we don't do pressure very well. Here's hoping
