with a lot of games in our division off we have a good chance of putting more distance between ourselves and the bottom 4 if we are bold enough and go for the win.

2 1 to us.

0 - 3 we'll ave em ! C'mon Rovers

5-0 rovers if that doesnt come in 2-0

d'you know Jade I may have underestimated you may be closer with your 5

I'd go for 3 goals with a possible 1 conceded.

I feel this is the best time to get 3, with the kind of performance last week, Brunt possibly upfront, Devaney's quality of strike, Wallace tucking in.

I mean they've got McNamee, Witchelow and some other guy now, but I still think the represent the best chance, of getting 3 goals in a game this season.

take your Rovers tinted spectacles off!

We will struggle for any result.

I predict a 2-1 win for them!

3 1 win for us

Will be bitterly dissapointed if we don't get a result today. Don't know how confident Fonners will be? but i see a 2-0 win!

C'MON Tranmere

yeah !!!

great start

ah c'mon lads !!

ah NO still plenty of time tho !

Just shows what can happen when you end up 2-1down to the home
after taking the lead these things happen when you play the team that`s top of the league oh sorry my papers upside down.

bit like Yeovil playing shef wed ! and winning 1-0 at half time

if we lose this game will be the 7th defeat on the run away from home this is simply not acceptable.

or Carlisle 1 down at home against chesterfield

Trouble with that is if both games stay as the are now it would mean Yeovil catching up to us and only two points behind us instead of the five as it is now.

Not only that it would be also 1 win in 15(I think)it`s just that number i.e the 15 is getting larger as each game goes by it does not look good.

the worrying thing for me is teams below have games in hand and that is a concern i think the scrap is one

My fault I have to take off my sock from my other foot now
seeing it`s gone past fifteen digitsonly trouble it`s getting beyond a joke now it`s a position that all the misses and hitting the crossbar does not wash any more Les and I am not anti Les I am pro Tranmere and it`s beginning to hurt what`s happening to our team it now must be on record that it`s the worse run for a long time perhaps going back to when we got relegated from Division two way back before the second world war.I await Les`s summing up from today`s game

All the Les luvees should post their same comments elsewhere too and see what comeback they get.It's very gentle on here in comparison.

If Dr. Les has any feelings for this club, which he says he has, then he must do the decent thing and RESIGN now. If we can't bring someone to replace then one of the players needs to be made Player/Manager. This current situation cannot be allowed to continue.

Before anyone starts knocking Les, let's remember the positives from this game.
Yes, we lost yet again, and to the bottom team in the league.
But, hey! only by the thickness of a hair.
And we did score a goal.
Plus Yeovil and Chesterfield both got beat.
We'll win the next one ......... maybe.

Some were we need a change of direction at the helm(sound like John King here)if we can not change the squad some how we a tweak some one with fresh idea`s in who to use in the squad and what game plan is needed it`s getting to the time(to use an idea from Everton`s history that saved them going down The Dog`s of War mentality)or that period when Brian Little came in
and changed the formation that made it hard for teams to beat us.
It`s gone beyond us to challenge for a play off place or even a top half position we have only 17 games left to get around 19 pts to finish on 51 points and the fact that we have only got 7 points out of 42 points in the last 14 league games is not good in fact it`s b***d*y bad so that ratio of 14 games into 7pts works out at 0.5pts so 19 games times 0.5pts will give us a total of 9.5 points out of the rest of the games round that up to 10pts so we could end up with 42 points total at the end of the season.We need that wake up call from some were or somebody now.

Points of note.

1. Great goal for McGurk it seems and good for his confidence and form.

2. Not happy with other players pumping the crossbar.

3. Was the goal for Lateef really offside or a mess by the referee?

4. Bad coping skills by the defence and shouldn't have conceded the goals.

5. The team neither dropped any places nor got closed down by the nearest chasing team, nor went closer to the drop zone which is something at least.

In summary I don't think I can blame Les much for this, much as though the result annoyed me greatly, because a back 4 with players like Tranmere have, should cope better with opposition attempts and that's their fault not his.

The team created enough chances and on target stuff for 2 goals and didn't get a second, which may in part be down to the referree disallowing a good goal, but I don't know if he boobed or not.

Next week is another game and the players must hold up better.

we have won 1 out of our last 16 games that is relegation form no two ways about it, The buck stops with the manager get rid now before we go down.

The manager at times must take the blame now and again these results happen and their beyond the managers control but we are in a run of 1 win in 16 games(14 of them in the league)so he is in the hot seat so he must take some of the blame it could be his tactics that has caused the bad run of results
if we have had a run of 12 wins out of 14 games over the past few weeks Les could well have been in for manager of the month and he would be walking tall and his tactics were working but there not.

As for your point 5 no team were closing in on us Wycombe did
but it also helped that Exeter/Walsall/Scunthorpe and Rochdale did not close the gap mainly because they did not play.
If they had played I would doubt that Exeter would have won at Bournemouth nor Rochdale at Charlton but football a funny old game and one of those two could have got at least one point if not three and then they would have closed the gap as for Walsall and Scunthorpe one of the would have got three points or both would have got one each as they were playing each other so again the gap would have closed in on us.All of these teams below us over the same period when we have only managed 7 points(1 win 4draws) out of the last 42 points have a better run of results than we have . Their results compared
to ours are on a run of better returns over the past few weeks so the momentum for results are with those teams as opposed to us what made them be in a position they are in must have been their earlier form in the league so Les we need that wake up call fast or we will see these teams below us passing us by and before we know it we are on the trap door or have fallen into the bottom four I know it`s not over till the fat lady sings but I think I can hear rehearsing.

Yeovil could have closed, had they won against Sheffield Wednesday, by cutting the gap to 2 points, but it's still 5 points between 17th and 18th.

and I think 7 points between us and relergation, think they are wht too many people use wrongly ! are facts !

Has anyone seen my tyres?

@Mike WWFC
Those jokes are about the otherside of the river, mate. Plus perhaps if you're going to make jokes, be more original?

Another away defeat, that's SEVEN in a row in the league! Simply not good enough from Les. Time for a change, otherwise we're going down to div 2. Johnson should give Jimmy Harvey a call and fast! Gentleman Jim would surely bring back some attractive attacking football to PP.

Just watched the highlights on Football League Show and still haven't changed my mind that we deserved to win.

Their two goals were poorly defended but second half they threatened once or twice whereas we hit the bar three times had two off the line and a harshly disallowed last minute equaliser.

We were as unlucky yesterday as we were against Huddersfield last week. The defence needs a shake up in my opinion.

Mcchrystal hasnt looked the same since he came back from injury and has struggled quite a bit.

As one of the fans at Wycombe yesterday my main gripe is that it's a long way to go to see your team play for about 40 minutes. In that time (5 minutes in the first half and the last 35 inthe second) they played well enough to be up in about 10/11 position. They showed they can play the ball on the ground and pass a bit. At 1-0 they just stopped playing, basically hitting long balls forward to no one. If the last seven away games have shown them anything it's that they need to score at least three goals to win. They should have really turned the screw at that point, but no they dropped back, gave the ball away too easily and defended sloppily. At one point I thought BUchanan must have been playing centre half, Ainsworth was given so much space. The display in the second half was so much more spirited, presumably after Les's half time rant. My point is why waste 30 minutes of the first half, liven up Les and let them know from the touchline while they are on the pitch. The only passion I've seen in the past 3 seasons has come from the fans. The Management team need a huge rocket up their backsides and make them look as if they do care. I watched the offside decision on BBC last night and I can't see it, Latif had the big defender right by him.
Finally I would just like to say a really big thenk you to our coach drivers last night. The 5 hour journey back was through thick snow and if you saw the news the M40 was one of the worst hit areas. Well done and thank you, that's from the missus as well.

with the magic of pause and being like andy grey with out the sexist remarks lateef is on side as there is a player in the six yard box keeping him on side

Assume you were on the Trust coaches. I was on Coach 3 and our driver was fantastic in such conditions. Huge credit to him!

A feasible scenario, but an assumption at best, as nobody would know that until he was here.

Bearing in mind he was managing Conference teams and now Conference North, so in terms of the 4 teams he's managed he's not gone up in the standard of team he manages, nor is he succeeding weith a team lacking the financial clout or attraction of rival teams in his division I don't think.

Morecambe he left with health issues; however they weren't as good under him as they were under Sammy Mc; Forest Green, a stagnant conference team that hardly ever if at all, challenges for the playoffs, followed by a dufunked Chester team who were not challenging when he was there, though possiblty the financial status may have been having the "Plymouth effect" on players, I simply can't confirm or deny that.

Stalybridge might get promoted, providing they win all their games in hand and keep pressure on Hyde and might get second place where they are now, but if things stay as tight as they are until May, they could finish 6th, based on current points totals of other teams.

His managerial career is not progressive in any way and the current evidence of getting anyone with experience of management, is not strong in his case I feel.

I think his links with the club would be something, but his past doesn't hark at the kind of manager, that would necessarily bring the right stuff to the table.

If he was ever a choice, I'd welcome him and be behind him, but I don't think he's necessarily a great choice and I politely observe that some may be touting his name, purely for his past connections to the club and letting fondness dicate rationale a bit.

As I say, politely observed; nothing negative meant by that.
