I hope the pitch is ok to support skills of Omari, Josh and Gime.

Doesn’t look too bad from Jon Colman’s Pic on Twitter just now:

Ced Scott off the bench for the winner!

Jon 'He's Got A Foot Like A Traction Engine!' Mellish to get back to his free scoring form from earlier in the season.

Strong front 3 , height pace and strength , maybe lacking creative player . But Tranmere like to pass it back , so the high press should suit.

Why is there away commentary for tranmere? I thought we weren’t allowed radio Cumbria away matches on iFollow?

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy 1-0

All this playing football lump it forwards FFS

Bah 1-1 - Come on lads 2-1....

2-1 Game on

Could be a Bolton this

2-2 boo

2-2 rusty bunch of [censored]....

2 good teams slagging it out.... Tranmere are one of the strongest teams this season at BP.

Joe Riley... desperately unlucky there

We’ve done alright, but they are better than us. Probably the worst half Rhys Bennett has played for us.

We’ve got another goal in us, but think I’d probably take the point right now with a winnable home game coming up on Saturday.

Both Bennet and Hayden both going up for throwing / corners is killing us

Tranmere are, by a very long way, the best team to visit Brunton Park this season.

James Vaughan has made Bennett looks like Byron Webster throughout the first half.

Tranmere are playing some lovely stuff. I would also take a point!

Enjoyed it when one of their defenders mistakenly passed to Beech

Nice work from him to dress in the same colours as their away kit

Not a bad half, we’ll struggle with the wind second half I think. Anderton best player for us so far with gime close second. We play miles better when we pass it abit !

Wind could make it tough for us second half.... but I think there are still more goals for us here....

Scott could maybe do a job against their CB's, they are currently bullying JJ too much.

The wind may help us , as the ball seems to be running long , so it holding up my make it easier for the front three to get into it.

JP on the radio talking about Gay Abandon the LGBT+ choir that is based in Leeds, not sure what this has to do with the game.

After chastising himself for saying "argie bargie"

How many corners are we going to waste tonight with this far post routine.

good start to the second half. Passing the ball too.

Tranmere are the new 'best team to have visited Brunton Park this season' since erm Forest Green last week.

Time 4 Dickenson or Furman for Mellish. Maybe we can anchor Furman deep and push Riley and Guy forward.

Too many mistakes being made by our defenders here

Just not sure on Zanzala..... I haven’t seen anything yet to convince me

2-3

[censored] sake

Same time next season lads?

I’ll say it, everyone else is thinking it. Mellish needs a spell out of the team.

Don’t want to massively overreact but there’s so many teams surging up the table that if we make the playoffs we’ll do well

Beech cost us taking both Patrick and toure off

So disappointing.... just a touch of Nugent quality at the death

We really struggle to score goals in the 2nd half of games. And we struggle in any game we concede first. Disappointing result.

We dont have the same quality that Tranmere do on this showing... Zanzale disappointing ..

Not good enough/ Phillips and lummy- can’t argue with that

The covid break has done us in looks like no promotion this season sadly

Tranmere just had the quality where it mattered.....

Wrong subs tonight Gime was tearing them apart, Patrick was about to get the better of his man. Zanzala really poor. Should not be losing the lead twice.

Somehow Armer has to be fitted into that team even though Anderson was good tonight.
He has a touch of class that is overlooked and would be flying now, dissapointing he's not getting a look in

Actually thought we played pretty well for most of the second half. Some atrocious defending against to be fair a really good side has done us and it’s a stinking result

Has to be 3 points on Saturday now, teams are starting to pull too far away from us even with the games in hand. No excuses now, the break is long gone and we now have two games coming up against teams below us. These next 2 games could either kickstart our season or seriously derail us.

I’ll say it, everyone else is thinking it. Mellish needs a spell out of the team.

Mellish is like a headless chicken and is currently being used like a blunt instrument in midfield. He destroys play most times he gets the ball; the odd lucky tackle or block doesn’t mean that he deserves a place in the team. He’s blocking a place for a more creative player which might help the forwards use their possession more creatively. He’s got to go.

Think the postponed games might have done us more damage than we first though. However I thought we did OK tonight, that second half was more or less all us and if Toure had scored (instead of it being headed off the line) then we would have definitely got something out of the game.
Toure for that matter was back (almost) to his best, Anderton again was well up to speed, Riley had a terrific game in midfield and Patrick at times was running them ragged. However our two central defenders were as poor as I've seen them, (which is unfortunate, because if they played like they normally do, we would have won).
Not the end of the world, and although I'm disappointed I honestly think there is enough there to start to turn things around very quickly.
COYB

Too many poor individual performances tonight to even deserve a point.

Tactics poor, we need to vary our corners too predictable.

Toure and Patrick should have been kept on we lost the small chance we had of a point when they came off.

That must be Zanzala's last chance, time to give Scott a run out to see what he can bring to the team for us.

Np panic, clearly before xmas we were a top 3 team. We have played better footballing teams and we are a top 10 team aiming for playoffs. We play well in patches, i think we need a creative type of midfielder that the game can go threw. Maybe Charters will grow into that role. I think in the last minutes our game management was poor, our midfield looked predictable and we could have kept it more simple than simply hoofing the ball forward. I thought out two centre backs were not as convincing as usual.

I do not believe we will make top three, this team would really struggle in div one. Keep 80% of the team and we need a creative midfield player and a goalscoring striker.

Zanzala is garbage, that clown shouldn’t be anywhere near the team.
