That’s more like it!

this feels like a massive over reaction to what was generally a fairly ordinary performance.

Despite that, I hope you were able to enjoy the game.

It was decent to watch as it was so open. Entertainment and quality don’t have to hand in hand do they. 3pts were this key today and we got them.

If you’re looking for quality in lg2, look away now.

Entertainment comes in many forms. We’ve seen precious little of it from our team this season, in any form.

What I did ‘enjoy’ from my team today was the fact we had not one or two good players performing well but more like five or even six.

Adelakun had a really good first start to a league game. His control (in the main) was good, he had the pace to go past players, he made himself available as an outlet, his cross for Joe’s goal was inch perfect & he took his goal with great composure throughout. I think him & Joe could make a great pairing.

Molyneaux ran their left back ragged. He could give him a metre start & still pass him. He could have cut inside onto his left more often perhaps which would have given him an opportunity to shoot
(I appreciate his xg is poor) or cross into the box with his favoured foot.

Senior (apart from always seeming to dally at throw ins) had a good game down that left hand side & ushered his opponent into cul-de-sacs most of the game.

Bailey yet again put his foot in whenever he had the chance & broke up a lot of their play. He always sweats blood for the cause & today was no different.

Wood was colossal at the heart of the defence. The fact that Tranmere didn’t have one opportunity on goal from a corner (if my memory serves me right) was certainly helped by his organisation in that penalty area & again I can’t remember him losing out to any personal heading duels.

Billy Waters chased after everything again & again. He refuses to give up. His first touch let him down on a couple of occasions true, but he never gave up the chase.

Joe Ironside. I’m actually starting to warm to him.

But apart from those players doing well in their given roles, we actually had players making themselves available to take a pass & move the ball forward. We strung more passes together today than we’ve done in a ‘collection’ of games this season.

“….this feels like a massive over reaction to what was generally a fairly ordinary performance”.

Mmmm, got to disagree.

This feels like a massive positive reaction on the forum to a game we all knew really WAS a must win.

The team now knows that with endeavour, what it lacks in skill can still win it 3 points. We now go to Salford on Tuesday night in the knowledge that we can find a way to beat teams, if we match up to them as we did Tranmere we can pick up more points from the remaining sixteen games than we lose.

I didn’t see “an ordinary performance” today. I saw a will to win.

Hope I haven’t come across as being ‘reactionary’ for the sake of it?

Good post Colin. Mixture of relief getting the 3 points and the performance gives hope for a positive last 3rd of the the season.
Agree with you, we saw a “will to win” 100% we did

Only thing in that post I was a bit surprised or shocked even was, Joe Ironside, quote “I am actually starting to warm to him”  surely you are not serious. Are you being sarcastic?
Can’t see how any Rovers fan can’t absolutely love this guy. He runs through brick walls, takes a hammering off opposing defenders and scores goals. 1st proper striker we have had since Marquis left.

Tranmere clearly didn't do their homework on us. They allowed us time and space and we did well to capitalize on that and get the 2 goals. We are still clearly miles off looking like a decent side.

[Avsuptem]

To me the additions of Adelekun and our new keeper are a real trade up. Also i have no idea why Molly gets so much stick on here, he is one of our best players. Ironside consistently good every week. Anderson looks sadly past it and a bit of a liability despite having been Mr. reliable previously. Bailey a great addition to the group this term.  With this squad we are far too good to be in a relegation scrap, we will get the odd hammering but I am confident in what McCann is doing.

[DonnyOsmond]

Moly wasn't as good today offensively, did well defending though.

[Lesonthewest]

Great result & a huge 3 points. Well done players & management.

I refer the honourable gentleman to my multitude of previous comments on Joe Ironside!

Yep, agree it was an open game and I actually enjoyed it.

I suspect the “massive over reaction” is due to Rovers fans feeling the emotion and relief of a win when we’re in such a precarious position.

It’s the sort of reaction you have when you’re a fan.

Totally unnecessary jibe at a fellow fan.

I’m obviously not a fan.
