Just your usual generic non-descript L2 football match so far. Low on quality, high on lack of quality.

Zero edge of your seat moments. It's all just so dull, predictable and ponderous.

Lol. Just after tweeting about no shots we go and score.

Fucking hell we need to at least try for another. We're as pedestrian as you can get with the pace of the game again and are getting caught.

We're doing our best to fuck it up. We really are. It's like panic defending is an intended tactic.

We’ve not been good, they’ve been shite.
That Mumbongo for them is laughably bad.

Fuckimg hell, Tranmere were awful. Utterly shit. But we still made bloody hard work when we should have wiped the floor with them.
Even though we won I really hate it when we stop our own attacks, under no pressure, to put a foot on the ball and go backwards.

Yawn.
Borefest.
On the face of it it’s a game that you’d like to just tick off as job done and promotion contenders would do that but if you watched it then you know that we got away with it - It was going the same way as numerous other games with our sloppiness looking like leading to their inevitable equaliser until we scored a fluke of a second.

I’m flip flopping here. It was dull, I wish we’d have turned the screw and tried to really hump them, but equally, we were very patient against a team parking the bus, we took our chances (Cooks goal in no small part thanks to the keepers brain fart), they had zero corners and zero shots on target.
A better team might have punished some of our misplaced passes, but they didn’t. So fuck it, two wins on the bounce isn’t to be sniffed at. At this point I’d take exactly the same against Barrow.

I hear what you're saying but we were shite defensively. They didn't score because they were crap at the money shot in the box. On another day they've easily found 2 or 3 excellent chances to score a goal. Thank fuck we managed that fluke second goal because without that I think a 90th minute equaliser would have come as usual.

That 10 mins before we scored the 2nd was just awful, Stubbs and Platt looked awful and like they were playing in fresh tar. Before that and after our 2nd everyone was fine and I felt comfortable a positive result was nailed on. Tranmere were probably the worst team I've seen us play this season which makes that 10 min spell just look bizarre.

They were comically bad tbf, not just the keeper letting in drift over his head but the number of times they let the ball go out for a throw whilst they were (apparently) in control of the ball.

We were in self destruction mode for 10 minutes before the second just as Jizzle says. It's almost like we're told to play in high-panic defence which has seen us fall apart in other games.
It was good fortune in the end. A corner, the keeper forgets how to jump and the ball just drops over. It made things comfortable after that but if we had continued to misplace passes like we were doing we would have been opened up for sure.
Not going for more to the point where we were stopping our own attacks is the frustrating part and what gets boos from the crowd. Possession based football is fine but when we're going all the way back from the final third or putting our foot on the ball when breaking in space you're going to get the groans.
It would be nice just to kill a really poor team for once. We have the worst GD out of the teams above us so may well be a factor at the end of the season.

I didn't think Nevers did particularly badly when he came on, but what does he bring to the team that Banks doesn't?
