Anderson

Lot of rubbish here
If you’ve just played a game and bean beaten comfortably then you’re walking off the pitch and getting abused by your own fans then if there’s anything about you you will react.
Simple as that

And if you are a professional you resist that urge, simple as that.

If you are a supporter then don’t abuse the players  even if you don’t like the performance. If people are unhappy stop away. Numerous supporters are doing that now as they do not want to watch performances being produced.

I just hope the creche don't start the get out of our club to Anderson

It’s all about opinions & I think yours is bo**ox.

[donnievic]

Worst game I’ve seen him have in a rovers shirt. Pumping forward Hail Mary passes to Miller that their centre halves snuffed out easily.

The regular back and forth passing with Mitchell was bizarre even if it was to instruction. Redolent of a lower league side playing for time in a cup tie.

Got one booking and could have had another. Nowhere near their player for their third.

Struggling to find a positive from him today.

so what do you want him to do as there was hardly any movement from midfield unless they come really deep in line with back 3,so like you say was either pass back to Mitchell and start again and hope they close down to open more space in midfield or go long which we never won header or hardly any 2nd balls

Totally agree. Absolutely embarrassing hearing our own fans booing players. Stay quiet if you don’t think they deserve applause but don’t boo them off.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not singling Anderson out. I thought every member of the team was poor on Monday. It's just that as one of the (few) leaders on the team I expected  him to be a bit more pro-active in figuring out what might work. The keep ball with Mitchell followed by hitting it long seemed to baffle absolutely everyone in the ground, including the players.

I agree with your point about the midfield. Frequently static with virtually no one showing for the ball. Clayton occasionally picked it up deep before doing his quarter-back thing which mostly failed. Lots of jogging around, no real pace or dynamism. All hugely frustrating because I don't think Tranmere's midfield was that great. Had we had anyone half-combative we'd have bossed the middle of the park and there'd have been no need to bypass it.

Anderson the main guest on You Tube tonight.

Did he stick his middle finger up to the camera?

[mushRTID]

The amount of stick the club are getting about this is a bit mad. It’s clearly been pre recorded before the Tranmere game.

[Filo]

I haven’t watched it, but it was billed as live

[mushRTID]

First few minutes they are only referring to the Newport game and the extra time on the training pitch as the Harrogate game was off.

No mention of Tranmere.

[Albert Trousers]

The amount of times the players have been applauded off after spineless performances especially away from home, it's about time they got told what the people who spend their hard earned cash think, as for Anderson response, I wouldn't lose any sleep if he never played again (even though it would mean RSW playing) he's been w**k since covid, for someone with a physical presence like he has the amount of goals we concede from set pieces/crosses is f**king embarrassing.

Play a centre half either side of Clayton if you want to play a back three. Let him be the one that brings the ball out. Clayton is ripe for dropping into a sweeper role. He hasn’t got the pace to play in midfield any more. He would benefit the side more in that role. Give young Ravenhill an opportunity in midfield, get a bit of energy in there.

I honestly believe if we were to play a three with Clayton as a ball playing libero, he would be a revelation back there. He isn’t a poor player, just the game is passing him by because the legs can’t do what they used to. We have two full backs who can carry a ball. We have two very good wingers. Miller would be top scorer in this league with the right service.

[drfchound]

Clayton always drops back in between the other two CBs anyway.
He plays deeper as the game goes on.

Got to disagree with that regarding Clayton.
Can’t see the point in playing Clayton in a back 3.  As has been said he virtually plays there now.
We are a better team without him because he slows the game down.
Thought he would be a big player this season but his legs have gone. We need pace and mobility.
Just look at how we played at Grimsby without him.  ( came on after 70 odd mins ) but game was already won.

[donnievic]

That’s why he has been playing Rowe there so he can be the one thebrings the ball out,as for Anderson I haven’t a problem having ago go back at fans,thought the ones that had ago at him during the game were out of order personally.if your gonna have a go then wait till be end,but was mainly having ago for  orders from schofield

My personal opinion is the performance’s have slipped since he’s been back in the side. We looked like we had more energy when it was just biggins and close in there with Molyneux in front of them

[since-1969]

Scored tonight!!!

[coventryrover]

Well done tonight Tom.    If fans give it you can't crybif the players give it back.   

[Filo]

How pathetic was the booing of Tom tonight?

Total morons, soon stopped when they realised there were more clapping than booing, and how ironic he got the winner

[danumdon]

Glad to see Anderson give the South stand some tonight,booing your own player during a home game is cretinous.Noticeable that the back play was tempered and that the ball was moved quicker, let the ball go for their third but made amends with his winner.

Regardless of the situation at Tranmere we need him firing because we have no one else.

[no eyed deer]

Glad he got his goal and a good pro... but it was only a very small section probably 10-15 at most and not all the South stand.

Pleased for him tbh. Any Muppet booing their own player wants to have a think, there's no justification in this case.  It seems many are happy to call players whatever they like and expect no reaction.
 Get real.

[mushRTID]

Idiots and he made them look like right whoppers.

Agreed it was probably only 10-15 of them and more importantly I hope Tom knows that.

I do think a lot of this could have been nipped in the bud with a swift apology mind. Things happen in the heat of the moment.

[Bentley Bullet]

Sometimes I'm ashamed to be a Rovers fan. Tonight was one of those times.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Echo those sentiments boys. The minority morons went too far tonight. That's an all time low.

I'm never embarrassed by my club but sad to say  I'm embarrassed by a section of idiots, maybe 30 of em', who should not  dare not call themselves fans or supporters.

[drfchound]

I sat just off centre behind the goal tonight and it was quite a few more than just 15 booing.
It was coming from those spotty kids who like to stand up though and yes, the clapping of Tom did drown them out a bit.
Tom celebration was brilliant and was actually like putting fingers up to them without actually doing it.
As has been said, pathetic to boo your own players.

[donnievic]

definitely more than 10-15 idiots booing

[Silkscarf]

Well done Tom on the goal. Unfortunately we let in 3 goals. The defence is woeful and has been for a long time and you are supposed to be the top man in it.

We need better central defenders than we’ve seen for the past year or so. We shouldn’t be thinking Faulkner is our best one.
