Evans 6-didn't have much of a chance with either goal,handling was good
Gurney 2-absolute cack as usual,wherever he plays.This man is not a footballer in any sense of the word
O'Hanlon 3-seems to be in a permanent state of confusion lately
Smith 3-Iffy should have taken him off straight after the second goal
Nicholas 3-Confidence lokks shot-couple of decent forays into the Tranmere half
Pook5-We were that bad,Pook was our best midfielder-by a long way.Kept posession better than anyone else,unlucky not to score,great save by the Estonian,and actually won a few tackles.
Migz 3-The most alarming deterioration of any Town player Ive ever seen.This guy has seemingly totally lost it.Shame
Brown 4-intermittently dangerous-much improved in second half
Peacock 3-I dont buy all this"he's the only one that tries"bollocks.He pulls out of tackles,wins a very small percentage of headers for a "big man"and,honestly,NEVER looks like scoring
Cureton 6-now he DOES look hungry.lovely finish
Benjamin 2-CHRIST!That must go down as one of the worst centre forward displays of all time-nowhere near the ball at any time.Reminded me of the days when we used to get players like McCammon,Shane Bradley and Kyle Lightbourne on loan.Hopeless!
Shakes 5-Tend to think we'd have played a lot better if  he'd started.At least we livened up when he came on.Few decent runs,won us a few corners and throws.
Jarrett 1-Iffy should have left Browny on the wing and brought on Whalley imo.

Agree with most of that except Pook was gash and Evans should have kept number 2 out.

not sure about Peacock.
I thought he was chasing everything for little or no reward.

evans for the second goal was unlucky. defence let him down

Iffy has made his first mistake as a manager, fielding a non compatible squad and getting his formation completely wrong. You all saw Tranmere had a lot of pacey players (number 11 being the one who ran all the way from his end of the pitch to the other without getting tackled and it reulting in a goal), so we should have started Shakes and Brown on the wings.

It's far to early to call for iffys head, but please oh please don't field a team like that again.

adje, great review! very funny, harshest match review ive ever seen..great stuff, were we worse than forest away? i went to that and we were truely shocking, are you telling me we were worse last night !? :shock:  :shock:  :shock:

i didn't think Gurney did all that badly, better in defence than midfield

I agree totally with you adje....

Peacock never looks like scoring..Apart from the header he had saved early on? Hitting the bar against Forest? Peacock works his fucking arse off.

i wont do a ratings thing! dont need to really. Evans, Curo, Peacock - 6

everyone else - 0 simple as that! ok that was a ratings thing but still!

Bit harsh Rich

Evans 6 - Made some good saves, no chance with either goal

Smith 4 - Caught out too often
Gurns 3 - What planet was the guy on?!
O'Hanlon 4 - Looked abit lost with no Ifil covering him, and made silly mistakes
Nicholas 4 - Let his man get away too often but his throws would keep him his place for me

Migs 3 - Poor. That is all I can say
Brown - 3 Not a central midfielder
Pook 5 - Didn't stand out as good or bad

Benjamin 3 - Slow, the overhead kick saved him from a 2
Peacock 4 - Ran everywhere but had little to do with poor service for the majority of the game
Cureton 6 - Again ran everywhere and never stopped, good goal, looked hungry

Shakes 6 - Made the difference when he came on. Was a spark and won us possession and created chances. The game was crying out for wingers and changing the formation at half-time made a huge difference. 4-4-2 all the way Iffy

That miss against Forest?You're using that as a positive?Fucking hell,my mother could have put that away

Why don't we put her upfront then?

R4E, you'd keep someone in a footy team because he has long throws?! How many goals have we scored from the aforementioned long throws? Strange...
