.....but I thought we looked like a half decent team today.

   With quite a few carrying knocks or coming back from injury, it can improve, but was impressed with Easton and Peacock particularly in midfield.

   You can see why Tranny are doing well,  typical team for the league, big and strong and  defend effectively, I suppose they lack a bit up front, but an impressive win.  Happy days.  (PS,  I'm trying to forget the Boardroom shit at least for an evening,  and go and enjoy my beer)

aye, I'm really starting to believe now....

I think I may have even joined in with EIEIEIO....

 I've seen enough false dawns, to know its pretty  stupid to get excited at this early stage of the season,  but its just good to have a team, that has capable performers in all positions, that works as a unit.

I agree, my fear though is when January comes around.

Will we stick with what we've got (possible)

Will we add to our squad to push on (fuck all chance)

Will we trim the squad budget by getting any money we can for any of our players (probably)

Its important we dont rip this squad apart, sure we can trim and few off here and there..... but bar the odd Arrieta, Almedia, Sturrock, Rigley, Caton and at a push Pook - no one from this squad should be going out the door.

Scabs!

agree about peacock and easton,both were superb today.
comminges,nicho and smith in goal were a bit ropey imo. as was ifils passing, infact ropey is being kind to ifil.superb interceptions though

 Jerel is never going to spray it around like Hoddle.....Miguel I thought did better than the Bormuff game....Nicho was bound to be a bit rusty, but did OK, they never really had any wide men though.

 Thought Smith was his usual steady self....I'd still like to see Brezovan though.

Great team/great manager.

But my mum always used to say 'if something is too good to be true, then it probably is'.

Tranny were solid and you can see why they are doing well. The sort of team that wins games 1-0. I thought we got the tempo up in the second half and really went for them. It was a one goal game and tbh at times it could have gone either way. But we did well at the back and stuck at it and it payed off for us.

Great to see Nico, Aljofree and of course Corr back as well. Corr looked good when he came on and it was a great finish for the goal.

i thought we were impressive today, played some good passing football at times yet mixed it up as well. undoubtedly deserved to win, i was beginning to think that it could be one of those days where nobody scores despite deserving it.

easton wasn't as influential as he has been but played well, peacock was vital for us in the middle of the park and providing cover to the back four. paynter and cox were superb, roberts and jp supported them well.

ifil and aljofree - back to the best partnership we've got, nuff said. comminges had a decent game although overcomplicated things at times. nicholas looked very rusty which is hardly surprising given one reserve game in god knows how long - has he played this season?

wasn't at gillingham, so probably the best i've seen us this season.

very impressed with today. every man won his battle, and we're now upto 7th with a game in hand.

i cant help thinking we're going to get 10 points knocked off though.

Roll about now, since they say, I am the sexiest man in Jamaica

no you're not. i am bitch. and we were good today. Barry did ok and it was special to see him score on his comeback. Jerel was great at the back but wasted it going forward a couple of times. I was surprised today by Easton's amazing air-work, never seen a short-arse win so many headers.

it was so specialo i think bennett came.

oh dear. i hope he was wearing protection.

Ooh.. I'm loving this lets all get excited about our team stuff, its a novelty...

the who now?

nicho a bit ropey. he was more effective than vincent at left back.he didn,t back off all the time,tackled when needed ,shot at goal,kept the ball on the pitch when he crossed,used his long throw to good effect lasted 90 mins on his comeback .i think the way vincent has been at left back this season tranny would probably walked away with the points.

 :goodpost:

I agree with the last two posts.  Nicho did well coming in today especially against a team like Tranmere.

I agree with the last 3 posts.

I agree with the previous 2 posts, but not the two before

Nicho clearly looked rusty, but that was to be expected.

Hopefully he'll get better with a few games under his belt.

Massive win for us yesterday, really glad to see corr come back.  Nicholas offers us more at left back than vincent does.  He did well to last 90 minutes on his first game back and was solid throughout

Hate to disagree with everybody, but I thought the first half was very poor in terms of football, mostly long angled balls, and few build-ups and crosses. Second half was not much better, again little wing play,until the ineffective Roberts was subbed. We scored from one of our few good moves.
On the plus side, we battled hard against  tough and rough opponents who encouraged the whistle-happy ref to keep slowing the tempo down, and we finished the game stronger, a very good sign against a top team.

agreed BB, vincent always felt like a risk and i think he distracted the centre-backs because they were worried about him. feel much more confident with nicho and gives us more options going forward.

we got fuck all from his long throw and didn't change it up enough imo

can anyone remember the last time we scored from a long throw??

Careless whisper Reg. You just know that every time you think STFC have cracked it they find something to make it come crashing  around your ears :)

 Yeah, but that was last Sat, a week at STFC is a long time, by Wednesday I'd changed my view, because of players leaving

   

   Roberts pretty much confirms it in the Adver.

   Anyone for a boycott?

'they'll'?

FUCKS SAKE.

That's what I thought Sonic, although if you think about it hard enough it could make gramatical sense...as in "They will be...."

It would work if it was they'll be livid, if.....

but not for

They'll be some tearful farewells.

They will be some tearful farewells?!

Woeful.

When he says his farewells to those leaving they'll be tearful ones.

Hence they'll be some tearful farewells.

not great journalism but it does make sense.

The penguin speaks sense.
