If that idiot stays as manager we are going down. Simple as that, I am not renewing my season ticket if he stays, I am starting to hate him.

well did suspect ! they sack their manager !
Still 18th tho ! be an interesting price sat for Rovers win !

Let's face it ... We're F****d!
If I performed like that in my job I'd be sacked!

It's a miracle we're not glued to the bottom of the league playing like that?

As the man said in Dodgeball ... You look like a gang of retards trying to f**k a doorknob!

And Les??? Don't get me started, he's as much use as a c**k flavoured lolipop!!!

It's grim up north, it's especially w##k at pp.

Dire. In fact no, to my knowledge, their is no word in the dictionary that actually explains what I've just witnessed.

Take Wycombe at home last season and multiply it by ten, you're now close to the level of ineptness shown today.

We are playing Bristol Rovers at home FFS and we pack the midfield like we were playing Barca.

Les pre-match "We're going for the win" "We won't settle for less than 3 points" - yet we still insist on setting up like we're playing against world beaters.

Fair play to Brizzle - they were decent you know, played some good football - whether that was because they were lifted or we were so poor we allowed them to, probably a bit of both. At least they had the team spirit and determination needed, they'll probably stay up.

I thought we played OK at times tonight but with no end product and they were worse (OK maybe on a par with us if I'm being fair to them).

I would argue still that they are one of the worse sides at Prenton Park this season and it's a worry that despite that we still can't win.

However aside from Ash Taylor, which players do you fault tonight? It was a scrappy game but I still think we played alright in parts.

Still four clear of relegation too which shows how well we have done of late to pull away.

Havign said that we couldn't have asked for a worse follow-up game I suppose.

Mikey- totally agree with your comments about Bristol, they were far more effective in the last 3rd than we were and in fairness deserved all 3 points.

We were abysmal. Totally lacking ideas and any type of strategy and if we keep playing that way not only are we going to be in trouble but were gonna have no fans left either with financially will leave us even further up the creek!!

Why do we play 451 at home, I just don't get it. Fair play to Les for changing it but we just didn't have a clue what to do with it. Robbo was trying his best top create something but what can you do when the ball is constantly hit over your head. Our lack of ideas and indeed lack of tactics is starting to really annoy me especially when away from home we keep picking up points and we can't do anything at home.

I think Les' days are numbered to be honest, the dwindling home support will surely push the point. I believe he has done good things this season especially with the players he has brought in but his lack of any type of tactics is starting to pull the team down. I think we've got good players but they have absolutely no direction from the manager and that's the issue.

I don't think I can take another home game like that, it's starting to get me down. To think i was worried because we have 5 away games this month, well now I'm more worried about the fact we've got 5 home games next month!!!

They had determination, passion, and they played football. If they play like that for the rest of that season they'll be safer than most cars in Bootle.

I would fault every player tonight except Showunmi, Zoom and Robbo - but the main fault lies with the "manager"

No wins in six and the fixtures are coming thick and fast and they ain't easy. Other teams have momentum, we don't. Only think we have in our favour is a decent enough goal difference for a team in this situation.

If I had to pay for my own ST their is no way I'd be renewing next season without changes - and thats not just based on tonight.

Haha people heap praise on the opposition to get at the team and yet our fans can't see that our players clearly wanted it but I would agree that tactically they were often ineffective in the final third.

Hardly heaping praise on them, we're only Tranmere Rovers. Just give them their due - they had spirit and passion and attempted to play football. They were positive and got what they deserved.

Fair play to them! Experienced it enough times ourselves this year when opposition fans (even Managers.. a la Lee Clark) don't praise you enough for the way you played. I think Bristol did well tonight, maybe if we were as good as Southampton we'd have won.. but we ain't.

Deadly sub - The stats don't lie. Bristol 6 attempts, 6 on target. Rovers 6 attempts, 3 on target. They were much more effective than us in the final 3rd and are a much better team than I would say Sheff Wed and Yeovil who we've played recently.

So six attempts each basically ye?

No, they had 12 attempts we had 9. Most of ours were from long range though because we couldn't break them down - which was mainly caused by us not getting enough bodies forward.

well knowing Tranmere, a win or Draw Saturday, Dale back in ! gel in the next couple of games and all's good
having a little flutter on the game Saturday

Dale has been the key to this run of form in my opinion.

Stats ! well just checked Tranmere Rovers SIX corners, Bristol Rovers ONE ! see conclusive proof !

You lot are making out your barca?
I was there tonight and i think your the poorest team ive seen all season
we where the better team admit it

i tink the 4 to goo dowb will be

Tranmere
Dag&red
Plymouth
swindon

With the greatest of respect, you had one game with that new manager atmosphere. Many a time has a new guy won his first, only to lose 3-4 in a row thereafter. It doesn't make your team the new Bournemouth all of a sudden, so don't get premature.

Tranmere won't go down, I'm still convinced of that.

I liked the way incidentally, Robbo appeared to be justifying himself more tonight, which is encouraging.

Robbo was the only one who looked like doing anything,give Les his due,he has slated all of the staff,players & took his share of the blame,but what was Weir doing at right-back with kay on the bench?& brfc luke,we were awful tonight & you still only beat us by the ONE goal,so that just about makes you almost as bad as us,wait until you get your new manager before you start boasting you will stay up,you won one game against a team that played as if a local Sunday League team would have hammered us,we've still got good players to come back yet,don't write us off just yet

we were awful yet again last night and that is being kind and we were beaten by the better team, they passed the ball around and on that showing have a chance to stay up.

The way we play and our tactics are just totally wrong why did we play with a holding midfielder against a team who had lost 8 out of their last 9 games we do we insist in hoofing the ball upfield, the amount of times mcchrystal cresswell weir & taylor launched the ball was embarrasing.

Its all very well and good saying were still 4 points away from the bottom 4 but weve now not won in 6 weve got just 2 points in that time and scored 4 goals and other teams below us are starting to pick up wins, and most likely after saturday it will be 7 games without a win.

Something needs to be done and quickly before we drop into the bottom 4.

Has weir got something in his loan deal that says he has to play? He is supposed to be a midfielder.

Kay is a good right back, weir isn't!!!!

Weir has had two excellent games at right-back actually but a lot of people seem to think that what they see at home games is all there is judge on.

As for Bristol Rovers Luke, I already said last night that they are one of the worst sides to visit Prenton Park this season and will probably go down (with any luck as I detest their poxy Stadium)

Plus as much a I've liked the look Kay and hoped we'd sign him permanently, prior to being dropped for Weir, Kay had three poor games at right back.

you are suggesting that they upped their game owing to a new manager.
Shouldn't we do the same ?
THeir manager plays football, he's a footballer.
Parry had no game plan . Some manager who says he'll have to wait to see how they play !!! THe players didn't know what to bloody do from the outset.
Notts Country for free ? tHe place should be empty.

absolute dross last night parry has deffo got to go now

Les gave a reason for losing to Yeovil that they game to PP was that they(Yeovil) set up a brickwall and we could not break it down and to add to we were p**s poor that night
and even if we played till the cows come home we could not score mainly I think we were playing to Les`s master plan of hoof it up the field so in time they( Yeovil) would pinch it,
so now we come to Bristol now they did not set up the brickwall in fact given the state of the pitch they passed the ball around in fact whenthey passed it around it went to a player in yellow most of the time(something those in white seem to fail at)not only that they seem to have the nack of running into spaces and taking the ball to the other end of the pitch with out getting snow on it were as all we seem to do is again Les`s master plan of hoof it up the field (it`s getting so bad John Lennon`s air traffic control has placed a no fly zone over Prento Park)so were was passion the go get it win it for the shirt on your back Bristol had it is their a players revolt in the dressing room after all it was only Bristol(no disrespect to Bristol they did their job)but as a Tranmere fan for over 50 years last night effort must rank as one of the lowest ebb of my years watching the Tranmere if you were to score out of a scale of one to twenty it would have slipped of the radar into minus god knows possible it would be not able to record it sorry Les things will have to change losing to a good side and our selves playing well is one thing but that last night was not
it does now look that the trap dooris opening

most been said

Warner, Welsh/zoom/robbo/enoch (worked hard but just not the quality)

tactics awful no need for holding midfielder tonight at all.

Players/management both at fault for the performance. Tactics were off but more importantly players lacked the desire/fight/brains on the pitch. As a player you should know how to play more than kick it anywhere.

Finishing was horrific we had chances but their keeper didn't have to make one half testing save.

Zoom for all his effort isn't really a creative spark on the left wing is he? at home where we needed to attack alliyu/akins should have got the nod.

Labadie a big player for us had a 'paul mclaren' game no energy no fight no tocuhes. very poor

One minor positive I thought robbo looked the classiest player on the pitch some good touches/runs and one of the few players who can control the ball.

Interesting post match comment from les about things being said by both players and management that will stay in the dressing room.... for me the management changed the system early enough but the players did not change their play. neither has an arguement in their defence.

Tough game saturday but lets hope we bounce back like we have in the past

Team i'd like to see; as tough away game 433 seems to work well.

Warner

Kay Goodi Mcchrystal Cresswell

Blanchard
Welsh Labadie (only because we have no one else to put in)

Alliyu Robinson
Enoch

I couldnt make it tonight due to work, but i predicted this would happen before the game. Am sick and tired of it now, Les is a joke to be fair. He talks absolute nonsense in his interviews, and puts out utter nonsense on to that pitch. With the squad we've got, under a PROPER manager we would be well safe by now im certain. I love Tranmere but iam getting so bored now iam considering my season ticket myself. IMO Les has to go in the summer otherwise we will be struggling for attendances of 2.500 next year.

@gony rovers are 5-1 with william hill to win on saturday

I have got more chance of winning the triple rollover tonight than us winning on saturday. Speaking to a few friends who went last night ( I have a season ticket but have decided to work when Tranmere are playing) they are really starting to turn on Les after sympahtising with him.

I think we may see some vocal outbursts from fans if things carry on.

I thought the boos were vocal outbursts.
IMO, players can't express themselves as they are tied to instructions, and there is such fear of losing that they cannot play. There must surely be unrest in the dressing room.

U say youre poor you only beats us 1-0, we had injures. . What and we dint. Is the first time we have not filled a bench. We had 8 injuries. And still dominated uu. . League 2 for you!

Luke, if you give me the address of your care home I will give matron a ring,your pills are not working.

What you gunna do rob my house

You mean, you actually own a house?!

You did very well to decipher this message written by someone from St Pauls estate.(everyone related to each other, duelling banjo's and all that) but we don't want to get embroiled in a war of words. Tell me who cares about the hole they call bristolwe all know there is only one true ROVERS, and we will avoid relegation.

Where there is faith there is light and strength

COME ON YOU MIGHTY WHITES

that saw off the pair of Bristols ! finest ha nice one Sub and spot on MW

True, Bristol Rovers will stay up; above 24th place that is, well one or two places above, then possibly go down.

won a game have you, were still 6 points ahead of you with a game in hand true were playing poor but you will be in league 2 next season.

The Pirates, came from league 2 to plunder League 1 and go back empty handed, to face some of the teams they stole prommotion from
