Player ratings v Tranmere

What makes you think JJ will play the whole 10 games ? Every time he plays there is always someone trying to kick him of the pitch.. Its a pity we couldn't have got Jim Obrien to stay an extra year... We lack his fighting qualities in the middle of the park.

Hence me saying my only concern is we can?t seem to get the players on the pitch.
As for JOB I think if we think he?s the answer then we?re barking up the wrong tree. A 6 years younger JOB couldn?t even motivate us to get more points than Macclesfield when we got relegated and that?s nothing against him.
The teams not been up to it the last few games but there?s been plenty of games they have with high intensity too. Form comes and goes and if we can dig in and get points whilst it?s not there hopefully that?s enough.

No one could have motivated that bunch of crap...

Awful recruitment

I don't think he is the answer, but we're certainly missing a lot of what he offered and not just in terms of his battling qualities. JOB was a risk taker - he would make forward runs and try adventurous passes, some worked and some didn't. Against Tranmere the midfield was mostly static and safety first, the exact opposite of JOB.

I think somebody might have motivated them, but we settled for Ardley who definitely didn't.

Agree saw a bit of it in Whittaker and army doors taking the ball on the half turn to get past a player and he certainly got around the pitch but with his inexperience we?re not going to see it every game.
We have been thin on the ground in that 10 position and at WB through a mixture of injuries and quality.
