Jenno + Davo to score!

GRAVY

COME ON HUDDERSFIELD! 3-1 TO TOWN SEE YA NEXT YEAR TRANMERE

youll see us today

GRAVY

Of course we'll see you next year.

Mikey

What are your predictions for Huddersfield and what team would you like to see?

Personally, I'd go with a 4-4-2 formation of:

Coyne

Holmes Chorley Goodison Taylor

Shuker Ahmed Jennings Davies

Greenacre Zola

Subs: Achterpuss, Mullin, Moore, Curran, Gornell

I reckon we'll sneak it 2-1, with goals coming from Danny Holmes (if he plays!) and Zola

4-4-2

Coyne

Stockdale Chorley Goodison Taylor

Williams Mullin Jenno Davo

Moore Greenace

Subs Achto Kay Anadin Shuker Curran

Rovers win 3-1

Coyne
Stockdale Chorley Goodison Taylor
Shuker Kay Jennings Davies
Moore Greenacre

Achto, Sherriff, Mullin, Williams, Zola

2-0 to us.

I think a win is still important so I would go for...

Coyne

Stockdale
Chorley
Goodison
Taylor

Shuker
Jennings
Kay
Davies

Greenacre
Moore

My Prediction though is a 0-0 draw lol!



Deadly Submarine

I dont think he has the guts to drop his own son.

GRAVY

Id pay

Coyne
Stockdale, Chorley, Goodison, Taylor
Shuker, Kay, Jennings, Davies
Zola, Curran

Subs : Achto, Serriff, Williams, Greenacre, Gornell

I think it'l be a thrilling 2-2 draw

Must win, even though there isnt nothing to play for!

Even though Ronnie still thinks there is a chance!

If theres nothing to play for then why is it a must win?

Mikey

Well your the ones should be saying its a must win,

Lets say we pick up 0 points from last 3 ( which we wont )

Are you saying to me , ronnie wil be getting new contract?

However, it would be nice to win!

I haven't said its a must win.

If Ronnie plays some reserve players to see what they're like for next season, gives Ahmed a go etc I won't be complaining if we get 0 points.

Mikey

As Mikey says - no-one has said it's a must win game but while there is mathematically still a chance then we should be looking at playing our strongest team.

I'm pretty sure certain fans are hoping we lose the last three games just to get rid of Ronnie!



Deadly Submarine

who are they then sub, those certain fans?

Oh you don't know them Nath!



Deadly Submarine

NO I dont actually, remind me lol ?

No mate I mean you wouldn't know them even if I told you lol!



Deadly Submarine

kk lol

Myles, are you complaining above that Ronnie still thinks we are in with a chance?

If he had come out and said it was all over even though it was still mathematically possible you would be having a go at him for that so he can't win!



Deadly Submarine

Mikey wrote (but got deleted in error)...

You are that Fan Nath along with Myles who want us to lose!

Apologies for the loss of this post!



Deadly Submarine

Yeah sure i do, and im sure myles does aswell!

We want them to get relegated and to sign steve wilson back!

Why would we want our team to loose?

We just know ronnie isnt the right man! As you just find it abit difficult to realise and accept that Ronnie IS not good enough!

Give him a new deal next season and we wil get 9thish again ( that is average position of last 3 seasons!)

...or, alternatively, we could get Little in and get relegated. Woop, woop!!!

Took us further , than ronnie has!

and plus littles cups run arnt laughable like Ronnies

Morcambe, Stockport Hereford Darlington Peterborugh!

That's a bit of a naive statement. Just because Hereford, Peterborough are a league lower it doesn't mean anything really. Posh have spent more than most clubs in our league and even the league above this season. Hereford are playing better football than most people in our league and have done all season. I cerianly didn't expect us to over-come Hereford. Also, personally, I dont think that we are here for the cup. Yes it is important for financial reasons but the League is our mission.

You say that Brian took us further than Ronnie did, but did he? He never got us promoted so really 3rd or 20this neither here nor there. The difference in prize money is not alot in the grand scheme. If you look at where te squad and the club was when Brian left, it pays what he had done previously into insignificance. It is all very well failingin the playoffs but the next season showed that he could not maintain that standard.

Today was just terrible however I don't blame it on Ronnie - once they have crossed the white line he can do no more.

We where the better team today, but when we got it in the right areas we struggled to do anything with it.

Shuker failed to beat the first man in all of his corners. (Ronnies fault?)

Mikey

u dnt seem 2 have a clue nath!! its not moore looses concentration at the bak atleast once a game, its not moore who isn't willing to shoot no matter how close to goal he is! i would say its 90% percent down to the players!! with the exception of 2 or 3, we are a league 1 team!! i admite ronnies signins have been a bit suspect in my opinion, but after some of the performances this year if we went up it would b an injustice! we need atleast 4 new players if we r realisically in with a chance of an automatic spot! not a new gaffer!

I was watching the progress in BBC 'Live Text' and I was bemused as to how we were losing. we had loads of corners and for the majority of the game had 35%/65% possession in our favour. At ahlf time we had had lots more shots than them too. I notice that Jenno registered a 30 yard shot on target today.

We hammered them.

Just couldn't do anything once in there box.

Mikey

No its not Ronnies fault when they step out onto the pitch, but like someone said on the radio,

What does he teach them in training? I see some teams pass the ball to wingers or through the middle, we just get the ball and whack it foreard to two small forwards. Maybe some of the players dont respect him enough!

and even more people are edging the way that ronnie doesnt derseve another contract!

Nathan, before you have a go, We played well today and i think we deserved more than what we got, a point minimum. Nathan you would have cumed in you rpants as their was two other idots singing for Ronnie out.

Good Good

Played well.. but didint get result!

its looking bleak for the ronnie fans out their..
its not really an ideal way to end the season seen as ronnie has as much to play for as the players out of contract!

3 defeats on the trot!

Southend to come who are the in form team! and Northampton the week after, we could finish as low as 13th!

and everyone on TT, who thinks that is good is abserloutly ridcoulous!

Ronnie will go, if he looses his next two for definant, and im cofident he will go even if he picks up 3 points

Mate, i believe lorraine was waiting until it was mathematically impossible to reach the playoffs..
all i can say is that, i believe the will to fight for points has gone, and when that has gone their something seriously wrong, as nathan pointed out before i do believe some of the players dont like the way his tactics are put across, and i think he cant get the best out of certain players..
i do believe ronnie has 2 games left in charge of tranmere, and not 2 wins, 2 draws, 2 defeats is going to change teh outcome

Brian lost three games on the spin twice in one season at Tranmere and lost 5 out of 6 games at one point.

People are entitled to an opinion but when that is in the form of abuse aimed at people who disagree as happened today at the game then it is out of order.

Certain Fans like those today we are better without.

On the game, we deserved at least a draw but didn't get it. Sh*t happens and we just get on with it.

I'd rather be Tranmere than Rotherham or Bournemouth right now that's for sure.

Since we have been in League One our average position is 11.4. Ronnie finished above that last season. Brians average was 9.6. That too is above our avergage although his 18th was the biggest contributor to our average being as low as it is. Take note that Ronnie finished above Brian's average last season.

Yes super white army your correct there!

But he did go on winning streaks, and wins games, and had cup runs, and got us to playoofs, and took us from 21st to 8th!

and as people are quite pety, you think 18th from 9th is good, what is 21st to 8th ?

and then got 3rd place!

Ronnie Moore will be going in the summer, Tactics wrong, cant win from behind, Subs are laughable, Football is pathetic!

and we cant even beat teams who are worse than us!
What team do you expect us to beat? every week people think we should win about 2 of the 46 games, what games do you EXPECT US TO WIN?????

because i expect us to win againts teams who are lower standard of players than we have, teamfs from 7th and lower!

But people expect us to win againts vale at home thats it!

And so what if i went to wigan 2day ? We have nohing to play for wanyway! Doesnt meen were not tranmere fans? So when you go on holiday and miss a tranmere game, does that meen your not a fan ?

Your all getting strssed because you KNow hes going!!!!

Who cares where we finish, 7th is the same as 20th now - it doesn't matter.

This club will not progress anywhere until it keeps a manager for a minimum of three years.

IF we get rid of Ronnie next year is going to be a year of building a WHOLE new squad for a new manager. Then the year after will be like this year, taking out some of the weak links and replacing them (E.G Danny Coyne in for Ward) and then when we only finish 7th the whole process will start again because fans like you are pulling this club down.

Mikey

Why are teams lower than 7th worse than us Nathan?

And we did have something to play for before today.

Absouloutely spot on, Great post Sub.

Ok today i snapped out on one certain fan and i immaturely put v-signs at him, the only reason i did that i was frustrated i can't stand how people can turn on Ronnie this easy? This man has done nothing wrong.

We are a League One club, people expect us to be topping the league, and to be in teh Championship.

Ronnie has done well so far, Last season he virtually got a whole new squad in, and managed to achieve an 8th place. This season i said at the beggining of the season i would be satisfied for a Top half finish, which now looks likely.

Also, It hurts Ronnie as much as it hurts us fans getting beat, because this Man loves this club and if you look at his career record he's been in and otu of this club for around 30 years being a coach, player assistant manager and now manager. He loves this club and we won't get another manager who will be as passionate about this club as him.

Also whats the point in getting a new manager?, we are not going to get no where by having a new manager every two years. Our fans aim far to high and expect a lot more.

And always tend to say ' i pay money to watch this'

Well thats your choice to pay and if you don't want to pay then don't come simple as that. Its their choice. As Mike has said we are better without these idiots.

Ok today i suppose i was out of order doing what i did, and feel deeply affended by being labeled as a part timer basically, Ok i may have not been to many away games this season because im nto working i can't afford to go home and away every week? Ask any of my close mates i do my best to attend away games, and im bitterly dissapointed a grown man has come up to me and abused me.

Get behind Ronnie please, we'll end up no where getting a new manager every two years.

Liam, don't worry about the @#$%&.

You get to as many away games as you can and at least you come and watch Tranmere instead of Wigan!

Mikey

No need to worry Liam mate!

I felt I should have stuck up for you but I kept quiet - I feel bad about that!



Deadly Submarine

Steve Wilson was a great 'keeper

Until someone better comes along for the job there is no point in changing gaffer, especially when he has done nothing wrong. Loosing our two wingers for the majority of the season lrft the task comparable to trying to win the grand national with a lame horse.

Ideal scenario for me is that We have a fully fit squad next season, win the league with Ronnie in charge and for Nathan to take to Prenton Park pitch and issue a full appology to Ronie for doubting him in front of a sell-out who will heckle him.

chesterfield,bradford,walsall,leeds,oldham,swindon,forest,crewe,donny.

That is a really a poor amount of away games this season, plus 22 home games, and 2 cups games at homes!

Really Poor fan Mikey!!!

You wouldnt be getting this wound up if you knew for 100% Ronnie was staying!

The reason we should be beating teams from below 7th, as i think our team should win againts those teams and we have a better team than:

Walsalll
carlise ( Ronnie admitted) ( even though there 2nd or 3rd)
oldham
yeovil,northampton,huddersfield,crewe,bournmouth,vale,cheltenham,bristol rovers,gillingham,milwall,luton,swindon,orient Birghton.

Yes you cant win every games, but those the type of games were Ronnie and Yourselfs would think we can win today!

Stop making out like our team is Vales!

And i forgot not going to an away game is a crime?

i DONT KNOW HOW YOU all say walsall have a better team than us it really annoys me , how do they ? Just compa
