Manager picked Meredith to play in a difficult debut when perhaps not 90 mins match fit. Also persisted too long with 2 ineffective,inept strikers.

Anybody got any feedback about Meredith. You know, strengths, weaknesses etc. Also, how did Grimaldi do?

I won't bother asking about Allott. If he's an essential part of our game plan, I can only assume our plan is to lose.

Tranmere wasn't that much better than us and they are in a play off place they just know how to put there chances away,we don't.

Tranmere will not have an easier game all season. They didnt even have to try that hard and they beat us comfortably. Once again Paul Hall has no concept of what a winger should do oor where he should run.

Felt sorry for the defence as once again only Downes and Grimaldi can come out of that game with any credit although Roche made an excellent save in the first half.

We had a couple of good shouts for a penalty but tbh they would have just once gain papered over the cracks. I dont think there will be many people who went last night that cant possibly believe we arent in a relegation scrap, the worrying thing for me is if we play like we did last night then we are certainties for the drop. That would be a disaster, how ironic that we could be celebrating our finest hour when we are in the middle of one of our lowest.

Could agree more - Tranmere didn't look that good last night because they didnt have to, I dont think they ever really got out of second gear all game, as we presented no threat at all (other than the 2 chances). What I couldn't believe was that in the 1st half at least we had a couple of corners and on both occasions we had only 4 of our players in their penalty box. While Macfarland and others often criticise our defence, when compared with others in this league we haven't conceded that many goals, our problem has been scoring goals (and lets be honest that's been the case all the time Roy has been manager) and Roy seems completely unable to resolve it.

If Larkin had scored it would have changed the game to be fair it was a massive chance and it was inches from going in. You have to feel a bit sorry for Larkin because he really works hard for the team but he is not putting anything in the net. Last nights miss was bad, but some of the stick from the fans was worse. Its hardly going to give him confidence. What was with our fans arguing as well?

some young lads were giving us grief for singing mac out lol said y u singing that and if we done like it why come
we come cos we love cfc but wont let the clown dragg us down with his arm folded doing nothing but get paif for not a lot

Manager only half the problem, boards the other half...

Well in Macf's own words "whenever he's asked the Board have always backed him" and "money has been available to strengthen the squad" and "the Board have encouraged him to bring in new faces".

Seems to me its only MacF thats failed - it was more than likely Caleb would leave during January so, logically, MacF should have had a list of at least half a dozen targets before the end of 2006. Seems he's still working on drawing up his list. We need 2 strikers by 5pm tomorrow - 1 big lad till the end of the season and another for a month - they need introducing to each other and to form a partnership by 7.30pm Wednesday evening if we are to stand a chance.

There's probably more chance of Alan Shearer or Jamie Redknapp being appointed manager before we play Bristol City!!!!!!

Im not claiming Larkin was brilliant, but i think he is suffering from a lack of confidence bit like Caleb last year (although i don't think he will ever be a 20 goal a season man), remember when people on this board where saying that Caleb shouldnt be starting (when he started the five games he did last year) and that Larkin was a much bigger goal threat.

Looked a bit out of his depth did Meredith, Allott was carrying an injury so was a bit of a risk but with us missing Niven we probably needed to play him.

Also in his own words "If the supporters want me to go then i will go"

So why hasn't he???

Err, because the supporters DON'T want him to go; you can't judge all supporters views on the basis of a few moaners who think 'sack the manager' is a magic wand that will transform us overnight into title challengers. The majority of fans, fortunately, are capable of actually THINKING.

Not to sound funny Soph but on numerous occasions fans have shouted for him to leave but he never has. I know you cant judge all supporters by a select few but when you have a large majority of the Kop shouting it, a hundred or so fans drowning out the noise Tranmere were making shouting for his head.

I'm not saying that things will change over night for the better but it needs a change the players are in cruise control/stuck in a rut.

It needs someone new to come in shake it up and get the best out of them again.

ive never heard a large majority shouting it. you seem to confuse what you & a few acolytes want with what the majority want.

It might sound like a large majority of the kop when you're in the middle of 20 people shouting it. I can assure you the large majority of the kop didn't even hear it, and those that did smiled indulgently and thought "silly boys".

a large amount at the back a small section down the front. comes over from right in the kop too.

end of the day people are entitled to there opinion if people want to follow a flock saying it then so be it.

But can you say that you have been happy with alot of the performances this season?

you seem to confuse you & your groups feelings with the majority. theres not much anti mcf sentiment where we stand, just the high pitched screeching wafting from our right.
ive not been happy with alot of the performances this season, last season, one before that etc etc. being a town fan theres not been many seasons when i can say that ive been happy with alot of the performances.
