Official Match Thread Tranmere Rovers vs Southend United

So who comes on to change this game for us? Goodship or Sterling?

We are pretty much bossing this game, we just need one to end up in their net and we will go on to win as Tranmere look worse than us at the back.

Oh and we should have had a stonewall pen
 
We’ve been by far the better team. To go in to the break behind isn’t what we deserve. Tranmere haven’t offered nothing but yet again defending a set piece has been our downfall. This referee needs to have a word with himself as well, I thought the JD penalty shout was genuine and he is constantly letting Clarke manhandle Emile every time the ball goes near him.

It shows how well we’ve played by the fact they’ve had to change their entire shape but even since then we’ve looked good, albeit without really threatening.

There is something definitely in this game for us though.
 
all good ...

then ridiculous very high defensive line for free kick ...

why ?

it did not work against salford ..

stoopid coaching - stoopid
 
Half time. That's really cruel. We were all over Tranmere for maybe 38 to 40 minutes of that half. 6 shots for us against 2 for Rovers. 5 corners for us against 1 for Rovers. We can win this. MM must be pleased at how well we have played. I guess Goodship will be on after 60 minutes? He could be a match winner for us.
 
We are playing against a CB pairing with a combined age of 70. We need a striker with pace to get in behind them.

their other centre half is 20! Lol

but seriously we don’t look like getting behind them in that way. I’m sure they set up knowing they not gonna be in a positing to chase back. Clarke’s pretty much stuck within 5 yards of the box.

Playing a high line against a deep free kick is pretty standard stuff. We've played well, the player's he's brought in look good and we forced them into an early double substitution. But of course, overreact and call the coaches stupid.
 
What we thinking ?

What changes would you make at HT or early second half ?

I'm thinking Sterling to come on ? Get 2 up top ?

I don't think any changes would improve us. Noone in today's squad is capable of scoring in open play, and noone is capable of making that "key pass". Even if by some miracle we score a goal, we can't defend, so in all probability Tranmere will score again.

Goodship knows where the net is but if he comes on our wingers are going to have to work to get the ball to him because he isn't going to be able to do it himself. I'd give Emile at least 15 minutes in the second half though, we haven't been bad so far and there have been a couple of chances a more inform team could have capitalised on. Changing at this point could backfire.
 
More shot attempts please
Tighter defending in our box
Look to earn a pen
Passing lots in their half only
Run at them, theyre slow to turn at the back
More overlapping on both sides
Swap the wing runners sides over for 10 mins showing
Low hard crosses due to their height
1 pen 1 shot. 2-1

Have you seen any evidence that we can pass, shoot, defend or keep? Wouldn't that be the coaches responsibility?
