I can see us losing this encounter and an ex Tranmere player scoring the winning goal.(There's enough of them playing for the shrews).

I think we need another couple of quality players before we can make any impact on this division.

I'm going for 2-1 to Shrewsbury.(Hope I'm wrong).

1-0 to Tranmere

Then I ate his Liver.......... with some baked beans and a can of coke.

2-0 Shrewsbury

3-2

3rd game in 7 days for me. 1-0 rovers

3-1 to shrewsbury

I have absolutely no idea lol

if bob is out it will make it harder but i fancy us, our formation suits playing away, KO should be a real handful for league 2 defenders, 1-0 the whites

I hope to eat my words but seriously rob, laird back in the side ahead of Rowe. Not just that but Richards and koumas also on the bench. I am concerned to say the least.

Why is rowe koumas and richards on the bench from the start laird bak in the team discusting starting line up mr rob edwards.

Yep.. difficult to understand..Koumas & Rowe not starting is baffling to me...Obviously Rob has his reasons and I will not pass judgement until 5pm..

Get in there, team selection not looking to bad now! Come on you Whites.

one nil up .... come on you white

will eat my hat and words if we win lol

no hat eating for me !! still no win in 3 games wot happend getting beat 2-1 wtf !!!!!!!

we can just not defend for the full 90+ minutes, still no wins including pre season !!!!! tough season ahead i think

just heard it was fon williams fault for shrewsbury 2nd goal he has to be dropped now

Goosed you just got saved from eating your own hat lol
gutted though that we lost right in the last few minutes

lol i know eating a hat for tea not very tasty haha

hahaha

Anyone needing a lift give me a shout going from liverpool.good feeling that we may pinch this one going for a 2-1 win with Stockton and power

did you go on saturday mate ?

Yeah I know it was pretty poor 1st games usually are.i remember Walsall last season wasn't much to shout about

I've booked my train ticket.Getting to the ground[although it's quite a way] should be no problem.Getting back to the station could be a bit more difficult.

looking at the coaching staff and manager and some of the players at shewsbury, you could make up an old tranmere team 11 nearly, from danny coyne to simon howath and jlaa, mike jackson, and of course andy robbo

half time and one nil up....lets hope we have a good second half, see if we can get an early second half goal come on you whites

Gutted......... two goals in the last few minutes

rubbish i have to say, even if we did play well im afraid we need to win

I thought Hill was very good today to be fair to him.

Anybody want to criticise Fonners? or is he still untouchable?

Saw him drop one catch and from my view was at no fault for the goals. Kicked straight out of play once. Not much else to report apart from some good saves. Also who else are we going to play in goal?

I'm disappointed that the team couldn't see the game out, but defending a lead right up into the final minutes is a small positive, albeit not closing it out wasn't.

Good for Bell-baggie scoring, although a little puzzled as to why Bruna couldn't have been subbed on to try and encourage a second goal, but as much as such results wrankle a little in terms of the manner of defeat, there are still some positives and if the team can get a little more cutthroat in front of goal and defend solidly for the full 90+ minutes, results will come and a couple of wins in the next two games and you're right back in the mix.

Then I ate his Liver.......... with some baked beans and a can of coke.

I'd have taken a draw beforehand,but when the ninetieth minute arrived,it was a big disappointment to concede the equaliser. And then......

The turning point for me was when Danny Holmes had to go off. Our back 4 had been excellent up till then, but McDonald came on and unsettled everything. Woodards,who had been MOM up till then,had to go to right back and McDonald's inclusion meant that we were defending much deeper as a result and the offside trap went to pot. If you sit too deep, you invite more pressure and court disaster and so it came to pass.

Fonners has certainly been criticised on the other board but we were all at the other end so I'm not sure whether he was to blame or not for the goals.He was saved by Ihiekwe [sp] who cleared off the line in the first half when he dropped a catch. I was amazed that he made no attempt to thank the latter for saving his error causing a goal.

We certainly need to be fitter. I know Stockton was on his own up front but he ran out of steam quite a while before he was substituted and his lack of pace became pretty embarrassing in that period.

Kirby was-well Kirby. No further comment needed.

Laird was much better than the York game.


If only the ref had blown for full time five minutes earlier[sighs]. When I said that to the Transport Police officer at Shrewsbury station,he laughed heartily and not surprisingly,totally disagreed.

And now I've got home,the TV's not working!!

The team need to create more chances before they can be more ''cut throat'' in front of goal. Playing one up front with very little support is not the answer as those who were there will testify.

They should of been down to 10 men ref bottled it!!!
I told my son the reason no one will take fonners is he's@#$%&at crosses and unfortunatly I was proved right
Have to say a joke of a parking system for a new ground we parked in a car showroom forecourt thing and when we walked 15 mins o the ground car park was empty shocking.
Seen our first 3 games now and there has been a steady improvement but we need to find a goalscorer. Cole looked knackered and today's game changed when Baggie went off we lost the threat of pace. Thought Kirby should have been subbed very ineffectual but that has summed him up
No koumas but laird plays that man baffles me, my son said he's a tank on FIFA but I can't see it? Must be my old age!!

The problem was that Baggie got up and didn't roll around. The ref took his time and obviously noted that Baggie appeared to be okay. The tackle was totally out of sync with the rest of the game but it should have been a red card.

defo need another goalscorer

A goalscorer will only be able to do his job well if he gets decent service.

Interesting considering all your posts last season on how ridiculous it is that Cole hadn't been selected! Perhaps you now understand why he wasn't picked regularly. As for another goalscorer, I think 'another' is redundant in that statement !

ha, and we all got on John mc's back about Stockton, and it seems he could of been right all along!

Think they all just need to put a shift in tbh.

They are all professionals and need to step up to the plate!

Start showing what they can do.

They were 1-0 up till the very last and unfortunately the replacements for the injured didn't cut the mustard on the day. ( and one has been sent packing). 4 minutes changed the general feedback. No one has said how well things went until then. Had we held on, I wonder if performance comments would have been made or are some supporters only interested in a win regardless of general performance?

At the end of last season, we wanted Cole to play in place of Jake Cassidy.....alongside RL, not as a lone striker ........entirely different!

''We''?

See above - goosed (and others) and me = more than one
plural = we.

Happy to wager that more than one person felt this way- care to suggest a stake - evidence will be available on previous threads.

Hoots have updated previous Stockton thread - you may find it interesting

Ah Goosed who said Laird was ''very poor'' on Saturday. Also said he wasn't there because he was ill.

The season finished I think on the 3rd of May. Your first post on this site was 19th May 2014. Where and when last season did you say it?

Admin has let you down..........albeit for once I can understand how you made this mistake.
Couldn't be bothered scanning in detail so just posted the thread re away fans.
Deadly might be able to give you precise details, appears to be a software glitch.
