    That was awful. Pitch is horrendous and these are bigger long ball merchants than ourselves, could really do with two up front to make it stick.

    we need Watmore on and Lafferty at the start of the 2nd half. Oops did not know Watmore was injured, when ? we are back to square one here.

    We need something. We were playing better towards the end but everything seems to be falling to one of their players.
    Dobson is on a yellow so I wouldn't be surprised if he went off for Scowen.

    Yeah that's what I was thinking of unless Maguire's having one of his mares in which case he might be good ratting about in front of the midfield. If we're struggling to play football we might be best bringing on a high energy player to make something happen.

    The referee is a clown and the pitch is like a circus ring ...

    ... we need a better performance after the break before the doors fall off.

    The good news is that Moyes is losing with 28% possession, no corners and no shots ...

    ... that's the West Ham way Davey boy <laugh>

    He'd be out for the season after 5 minutes on that pitch.

    Should have named Grigg and McGeady and claimed compo when they got injured

    Errr Watmore injured...

    That has to be the worst 45mins of football that i have endured for ages... I paid £10 for that...god it was dreadful..

    Tranmere probably ahead on 'points' as it were, ref has not got a clue, (about from being a plonker about throw ins)

    We can hardly string a couple of passes together, Hume cannot run with the ball, cos its a soft sand beach, Gooch is way off form, Wyke, well is Wyke...Maguire marginally better than a few days ago (just)

    Parky has to earn his money this half-time team talk.

    Atm I cannot see where a goal will come for us, unless its the new lad from a corner

    No football in sight here, we need to step up or its 0-0, get the Rat on for Dobson and Lafferty for Gooch or Maguire if there is no immediate improvement second half. Lump the ball into their box at every opportunity as we are not good enough to play them off this park, like the ref. its a joke.

    Agree about the ref, like most of the refs we get he’s overly keen on giving free kicks against us.

    That foul on o’nien was obvious yet he gives a goal kick.

    Ironically, with the state of the pitch, we really should be playing hoofball with Wyke and Lafferty.

    I'm glad I'm on the train, it looks like it's being played on the dunes up by Bamburgh

    We should have trained on the beach all week using Grigg and McGeady for shooting practice.
