Title: Trannies 8 clean sheets v Cobblers 7 clean sheets 23rd Oct.
Post by: west stand oap on October 21, 2021, 13:26:05 pm
With 2 of the best defences in the division it could be a low scoring game. Tranmere have scored 4 less than us but having only scored 2 goals in their first 7 games they have scored 9 in their last 6 games. They have won 5 of their 6 home games, only losing 0-1 to Newport County, their wins against Walsall 1-0, Hartlepool 1-0, Salford 2-0, Crawley 2-1 and Colchester 2-0 so only 2 goals conceded at home. On Tuesday they drew 2-2 at Harrogate which is the only time they conceded more than 1 goal. They are unbeaten in their last 6 games with 4 wins and 2 draws and only 3 goals conceded and appear to play with a back 4, 5 across midfield and 1 striker.
Unlikely that Ryan Watson will be in the starting 11 as he seems to have been replaced by Sam Foley. If he was still here I think he would be playing in the Lewis position where he contributed so many goals in the second half of last season. The other player we wanted to keep was Lloyd Jones but on reflection I think Guthrie is better.
In central defence Tranmere have 39 year old Peter Clarke so he could be lacking a bit of pace now. On the other hand he will need watching at set pieces because he has scored 3 goals like Guthrie and Horsfall.

Manny, you are probably right but most of us of an elderly persuasion find it rather sad what has become of the world. Too many people with an agenda who look for hidden meanings in almost anything. Let's go back to calling a spade a spade.

As a self proclaimed and proud woke that a lot of folks on here seem so afraid of, I can categorically say that Mannys and OAPs humour doesn’t cause offence.
A little bit sadden by it but thankful that it’s just banter and they wouldn’t really want to offend anybody deliberately in the real world away from a keyboard and the opportunity for a giggle amongst friends.
I continue to be amazed that my own love for my fellow Cobblers fans will allow me to forgive them any sort of extreme and outdated political views - shame on me!!

You are an actual liberal but sadly a dying breed. So many do not see the benefits of freedom of speech, forgiveness or reform anymore. Many wear "Woke" as a badge to justify their socially acceptable hate. I don't trust these people as far as I can throw them.

He is highly thought of and many non cobblers fans saw him as a real coup for us and potentially the POTS.

You're absolutely correct to point this out. There's a definite theme of homophobia emerging here from Mr. OAP, remember his previous comments prior to the Hartlepool game.

"Manny - do you see any relevance in the referee for this game, Ben Toner (Bent Owner)?."

Frankly I find this sort of language today wholly inappropriate. I'm quite shocked its actually allowed, can't you leave the poofs alone OAP?

In terms of anti-racism, sexual equality and general acceptance towards diversity of any kind, the world has never been a better place. However, reading the (TBH) sh*t that gets forced upon society these days you'd think it had never been worse. People need to stop feeling the need to apologise for situations and events totally unconnected to them (and quite often the world we live in today in general) and work on the issues that matter. For instance, our impotent strike force.

0 v 0 written all over it.

Great joke by TFAMH by the way  ;D

Look, I don't want to wade in here for too long as it's pointless, people are obviously very entrenched in their views and are not going to be open to changing them, Manwork is very obviously Manwork and ain't going to change, but using the word Tranny or Poof is not acceptable. Fortunately, most people in my age group have grown up knowing that, so it's a practice that will die out, so you can cling to it if you want, but don't think everybody here thinks that marking yourself as a dinosaur makes you brave.

You lot love to put stereotypical labels on people..
This is the thing with the woke left, they think they are correct and everyone else is either stupid or simply wrong.
I find most of the liberal elite have a massive fûcking chip on their shoulders and are some of the most bitter and twisted people I have ever had the misfortune of meeting.

I see my reference to referee Ben Toner has been brought up again. As pointed out at the time the perceived definition of this had not crossed my mind and my interpretation of the word "bent" was crooked.
It is almost impossible to post anything these days without somebody reading something into it to suit their own agenda. Now what was that famous old Yorkshire saying that seems even more relevant today "there's nowt as queer as folk". Before somebody jumps on this queer as meaning odd and not poofs although these days it is almost impossible to watch a tv programme without a same sex couple as all types have to be included.

West Stand posted some stats and then the thread lost its way somewhat!!

Anyway, its 5th v 6th with Rovers on that 8 game unbeaten run in all competitions. Just three league defeats all season, at home to Newport and away at Scunny and Rochdale, all by a scoreline of 1-0. Tranmere have not scored more than 2 goals in any of their league games so far but they did put 4 past Leeds U21's in the Papa Johns Trophy.

The aforementioned Peter Clarke is their top league goalscorer with three, Kieron Morris has two with the rest of the goals spread equally amongst five other players.

Nicky Mellon is the man in charge of Rovers, this is his second spell. He left in 2020 after almost four years at the helm and a decent record of 91 wins from 198 games. He found it harder at Dundee United though, 15 wins in 46 games before leaving there and moving back to Tranmere in June. He also had two spells as a player with the club via a £350,000 move to Burnley in 1999.

The head to head record is delicately poised, 15 wins for each side, the other 12 games have ended as draws. We have picked up just 4 wins in our 21 visits to Prenton Park over the years (10 defeats) but we did win on our last visit as two Sam Hoskins goals gave us the points in February 2019. You have to go back to 1986 for our previous win to that on their soil, and only one of our four wins there has come on a Saturday.

Tom Nield is down to be the referee for this game, its his fifth season on the league list and so far this season he has dished out 53 yellow and one red card in just 10 games. We saw him twice last season, both away from home, firstly in the early season 0-4 EFL Cup defeat at Bristol City and then for the goalless draw at Doncaster when five Cobblers found their way into the book. He reffed Tranmere three times last season, in the League at Forest Green in May (2-1 defeat), in the FA Cup at Prenton Park against Brackley (1-0) and also at the same venue in the EFL Cup (1-1 draw with Harrogate)

Mitch Pinnock is among the leaders of efl div.2 goal assists. There are 4 players with 5 assists and Pinnock is 1 of 2 players with 4 assists. The new Nicky Adams?  Think he is likely to score more goals than Adams did.

Tranmere programmes are the benchmark for the great smelling prog (my previous two, Queen of the South and Hartlepool are shockers!) and many a lass in pubs on Dale Street have had said progs pushed to their face to sample the exquisite perfumery!

Absolutely right, the problem with endless promotion of inclusivity these days is that it becomes counter productive by highlighting differences.
At some football matches players are applauded for taking the knee, at Sixfields on Tuesday the players were applauded for not taking the knee. If the media would stop making an issue of it nobody would notice what the players did.
99% of people are accepting of any ones race, lifestyle etc, the others are just bad people and we have to accept that they exist too.

Trannies appears to be a long established nickname of Club Supporters "Affectionately known as the Trannies, the Prenton Park, Birkenhead-based League Two supporters club is livid at twinning with UK trans-sexual movement members who reckon the nickname ‘grossly offensive".
So who is in the right? Don't see the point of maligning OAP - any way when and if I meet a Tranmere supporter I will ask them for their opinion.

I do get it OAP 

What was once referred to as mildly "pulling someones leg" has now been deemed a serious physical assault with a "safe space" for those affected, a direct hotline to the Police who will act immediately as a priority incident (while Somalians stab to death decent honourable people)

It will also require an hour long discussion on the BBC with a panel of "experts" chosen by their colour to discuss how we should all retrospectively thrash ourselves with disgust for the damage we have caused historically for having the audacity to poke fun at other people.

I prefer the Frank Worthington "One hump or two?" philosophy myself.

I saw a woman being interviewed on TV the other day who was campaigning to have afro hair made a protected characteristic. The interviewer asked the lady if she'd ever been discriminated against because of her hair. Yes, she replied, while she was working at the House of Commons in fact - there had been a conversation about hair and someone had said "You must need a rake to brush your hair!"
And what did you say?
"I reported him and he was made to do racial awareness training."

Now, at the risk of offending Clarity and Baldy, I've got quite thick hair. Occasionally I let it get a bit longer and when I've finally gone to get it cut, the hairdresser has made similar comments to me. I just laughed because it was intended as a joke.

Obviously I wasn't there to witness the event the lady in the news described, but it sounds very much like it was intended as a joke. Not a very funny one and possibly a bit rude, but discriminatory? I wouldn't have said so. If she'd been refused an opportunity because of her hair then absolutely yes, it would be disgraceful, but being on the end of a poorly considered joke?

Also, if she'd had a quiet word with the guy afterwards and explained that see didn't appreciate it and that people of colour might find that sort of thing offensive it could have been a brilliant learning opportunity for him. Saying nothing but reporting the guy has probably made the him resent her and reinforce any unconscious (or conscious!) bias he may have had.

I don't really care for the "woke" label because it falls into the same pot as "gammon", "Karen", "snowflake" and "boomer" - reductive terms that stifle debate and dismiss the validity of people's opinions simply because they conform to a certain  stereotype - but for convenience in this instance the "woke brigade's" insistence that people are punished or "cancelled" for perceived transgressions is actually far more divisive than if they simply tried to educate them of the error of their ways.

Feels like a huge game for our season this, it'll tell us where we're at and where our expectations should be.

If we get pumped today we're probably outside the playoffs again, looking at a very blotchy inconsistent form record and generally not turning up against the big hitters in this league. If we go there and get a result we'll quite possibly be in an automatic spot with three wins on the spin including an away win against a team who finished in the playoffs last season and will be up there again this time.

I have my lucky claret underpants on and feeling confident of a positive result. I think most of us would be happy with a point but our away record so far is WDLWDL so maybe it will continue with another W.
I will be tuning in to listen to proceedings with Tim on my trannie - transistor radio, the previous use of the term before it was taken over as meaning trans sexual, transvestites and all that b@ll@cks (or lack of them).

Manny, I appreciate your kind words " I'm beginning to like you" unfortunately it cannot develope into a long and loving relationship. I hope I haven't burst your bubble.

You lot love to put stereotypical labels on people..
This is the thing with the woke left, they think they are correct and everyone else is either stupid or simply wrong.
I find most of the liberal elite have a massive fûcking chip on their shoulders and are some of the most bitter and twisted people I have ever had the misfortune of meeting.

Great 2nd half performance and could have run out easy winners. 19 shots away from home with 6 on target, Trannies 0 on target out of 5. I doubt Roberts will get another 3 consecutive matches without having to produce a real save as the defence was again quite comfortable. Another assist from Pinnock and McGowan put in some good balls from the other side.
Well taken goal by Etete and after scoring 2 in 2 let's hope it gives him the confidence to now go on a run. Sam now suspended for the Carlisle game but as it was only a matter of time before he got his 5th yellow perhaps it's not a bad game for him to be missing as Carlisle are in pretty poor form. McWilliams still needs to avoid another yellow in the next 5 games. Must get my lucky underpants ready for next week.

I didn't particularly expect that, mainly because of Tranmere's excellent defensive record.

First time I have seen the Cobblers live since Covid. An outstanding team performance and the pressing of the opposition particularly in the 2nd half was very impressive and Tranmere were shot to pieces in the 2nd half and could easily have lost the game 4 nil. Etete was outstanding and the defence superb, two areas of the pitch greatly improved  since Jon Brady took over.The match stats show how dominant the Cobblers were in today's game and blow out of the water Micky Mellon's attempt to use the Ref as the reason his team lost today whilst totally ignoring the gamesmanship tactics of his players particularly Clarke and Spearing who were constantly in the ref's ear.

A pat on the back to all of us who advocated a long term strategy with JB forming a management team, a glimpse of the future emerging?

That was an impressive second half performance, as good as I have seen from us in a long time I'm still a little bit stunned, I was out of my seat as JB promised.

A question for the tacticians, was that us playing well, Tranmere playing badly or somewhere in between?

If Mellon's interview is anything to go by, it was all Tranmere playing badly. Absolutely no acknowledgement of his side being soundly beaten by the better team.

Listening to the radio it sounded a pretty assured performance, in control for most of the time and probably should have scored more. Martin Smith has always seemed a good judge and he seemed impressed.
So that's 3 assured performances in a row - plus we should have won at Hartlepool. Bit worried about proclaiming a new dawn and all that, but things are looking distinctly promising. Kion finding his shooting boots is obviously a great help, as is Pinnock playing to his potential. Playing the same defence for a spell has enabled them to tighten up, and Roberts clearly likes a clean sheet.
Before getting excited however, one has to remember that this is the Cobblers and consistency has rarely been an NTFC virtue!

you have to give credit to the manager and coaching staff - they have changed the system to one up front and managed to get more from the wide players in doing so .
They are not having to worry about tracking back so much and have more freedom .
Also credit goes to the development of Etete . He is coming on game by game in leaps and bounds .
It is a real credit to everyone we have turned the corner .

Post by: everbrite on October 24, 2021, 18:21:41 pm
Quite an interesting game yesterday and was a game of two half's. The first half our defense coped well with their forwards and thought that their Centre Forward did his best to bully both Horsfall, Guthrie and when he was near him...McWilliams. Needles s to say he did not get any change from those three.  In many ways the first half ended in stalemate with their forwards struggling to make an impression but there was a fairly feisty midfield battle going on. Certainly we more direct as opposed to their side passing, their winger exemplified this by running wide for a short distance and then went on a sideways jaunt; this made him easy to pick off. Roberts had nothing to do and must have been getting cold in the chilly wind.

The second half started with a brief foray by Tranmere which was easily dealt with . Soon after our midfield started to get a grip and the tide certainly turned in our favour. Ete forever a danger, how the ref let their number 10 continually manhandle him was shameful refereeing.

So with Ete making inroads into their back line, Sammy getting busy with shots at goal; then a great pass by Lewis? which sliced through their defense;  from just outside their box at the angle from the left. Ete met it first time,  bang back of the net - genuine Premier League standard taken goal. Cobblers support revelled in the superiority shown by their team. Some great chants coming out particularly the one aimed at the Tranny supporter who was 'dressed like a tramp...what were you thinking of dressed like a tramp'. Should imagine mad Michelle would have had a field day at that moment  ;D
After the penalty goal when Lewis was taken out by their goalie, their Centre Half Clarke muttered some chosen words to Lewis for falling over the goal keepers legs!! Tranmere were finished after that with Cobblers playing as one, treating us to some exhibition football. Lasting impression was Ete's goal, terrific Cobblers support who never missed a trick to take the proverbial at Tranmere, Hoskins coolly taken penalty and also his 30yd sprint to deny their full back's clearance. Plenty of Super Sams chanting too. At the end of game, at the ovation Hoskins deliberately walked over to the support clapping them for their personal support. Decent touch by all.

Take your point; replacing Ete will be the hard one to get an understudy. We need a big lump up front to fill in the lone striker. Regrettably money will have to be spent! Is Hylton up to it? Probably need another striker too. Defensive probably not so difficult. With our yellow card syndrome we can easily be exposed.

Brilliant cross and finish for the first goal but what I have noticed - especially in the last few games where I have looked out for it - is the reaction to our goals and the whole team seem to want to be involved in the celebrations and there seems to be a real togetherness. That is so important to teams who are successful.

Apologies, but if you can't get a little carried away after three straight wins, seven scored, none conceded and our main striker finding his scoring boots, then I don't know when you can.

My point is, this is not a strong year by looks and we might not need a Wilder quality squad to do well in it.
