Tranmere v Swindon Town matchday thread

[Freeloader]

Clear scan but still "troublesome". I call "shirker" rightly or wrongly

Listening to Flynn, he didn't seem convinced it is legit

Do we even have "6 centre backs"?

[Jimmy Quinn]

Sacking Flynn won't help, if it had to be done it would have had to happen with a month's preparation before the January window.

We’re fucked then even if there was a takeover that would take months if not longer to go through unless Clem surprises us and gets his cheque book out.

Do we even have "6 centre backs"?

If you include Bennnn Ward, yes. Brewitt, FBT, UGM, Clayton, Ward, Minturn.

We only have one goalie (Mahoney, hamstring apparently on Wiltshire Radio), expect Conor Brann to be recalled.

…but…players tend to shirk when they don’t want to risk being injured because they know they are likely to be moving away from the club - usually up the pyramid.

I can’t imagine anyone has any interest is paying money for RHM next month.

[hobnob]

Wouldn’t want any of this lot in the trenches with you, no fight in any of them!

Forget Wrexham, if we can’t beat FGR we are in deep shit whatever side he cobbles together.

Ah,thought he'd gone back to Burnley to be honest. I had forgotten about him

He has, but still has to be classed as a Town loanee until January 1st technically.

Will read back.

A better effort than shown in last two games.
Unfortunate slip by Khan which changed the game.
Then again might have been game over if GM could have at least managed to get an effort on goal from a very good opportunity.

Austin was good defensively but that left an outnumbered Kemp & Young to try & play on the counter.

Ultimately you reap what you sow & this is where we are at.

A welcome break now from the incessant assault of See it, Say it, Sorted.
Fuck it.

[No Longer Posh Red]

Better than expected when the lineups were announced.
I know some like to slag the team off when we lose, but I don’t think you can be overly critical of the effort, those that played put in the effort, we were just lacking in quality.

The telling thing was how easy it appeared to be for Tranmere to see out the game once they got in front (penalty shout aside).

It’s clear that we need more bodies, but based on recent history surely nobody can be confident that January is going to change much.

All in all, just bloody depressing.
(Feel sorry for those who travelled)

Seems to me the players dont have a clue what they are supposed to do - it comes over all unorganised and ‘freestyle’. Obviously Flynn has no idea on how to stop the flow of goals.

I’ve seen enough. Out the door for me.

Looked more organised today, encouraging until Khan lost the plot for the equaliser.  With this squad with so many currently out, Pep would have issues - yes it's his squad but it was curtailed by the "competitive" budget.  

Why would the town look better overall without Dokes and FBT - have they been nursing injuries for weeks?

3 out of 17 is terrible. A no from me.
