Oh yeah, blinding bit of nonsense at the end over who had the ball before a free kick but the referee stepped in and stopped it, killjoy

Great 3 points although we tried our best to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory towards the end. Thought the penalty was very soft but didn't think there was a lot wrong with the goal they had disallowed. Another 3 points next week at Carlisle will keep us well on track. If only we'd got the wins in the 3 previous "easier" games we'd be almost level with Forest Green.

A well deserved 3 points although it got a little uncomfortable at the end. Tranmere got a lucky ricochet for their first goal and having seen a rerun the penalty decision looked very soft in fact Appere was getting worse treatment and their defenders were not getting penalised. Obviously teams are aware of our set piece threat but they don't appear to have an answer for it and it was a fine finish by Pinnock for the third, also it was with his right foot. I cannot agree that JB should have made his substitutions earlier, would you really have wanted to take Appere and Sowerby off earlier?. Great to have Sowerby back and Appere run himself into the ground and made the goal for Pinnock. I see somebody thought we should have brought Eppiah on for his hold up play but Appere is better at holding the ball up front and Eppiah is better with the ball at his feet running at defenders, also it would have been difficult to bring Eppiah on as he was not on the bench. Maybe Magloire could have come on a little earlier to stiffen up the defence and having Zimba back on the bench now gives us another option.

For me, if Appere is fit then its 4-2-3-1 every time. If he isn't, then we have to go with 4-4-2. Ironically Kabamba could probably just about play that role as well, certainly better than any of the 'number2 strikers' we have but of course he's out on loan.
Kabamba - 0 goals in 9 games for Woking. We are lucky they haven't sent him back.

Eppiah was injured in training on Friday btw. Out for two or three weeks.

For those who might be a tad superstitious or looking to fate... Realised my partner hasn't seen us lose, home or away since Hartlepool away at the beginning of October. She'll be at Carlisle next week and Mansfield. Possibly, a greater addition to the squad than Rose!

Good win yesterday and agree with others here that we looked much better playing 4 at the back. Tranmere made it difficult in the second half but only really got close due to the ridiculous penalty decision. Ironic, really that he fell for a dive in the box, having had the courage (few refs do) to book 2 Tranmere players for blatant diving earlier in the match

Possibly, a greater addition to the squad than Rose! Hopefully she doesn’t know our squad well enough to know that’s not a huge compliment

Comments on Tranmere forum say that apart from FGR we were the best side to play them at home but they thought we were not as good on Saturday without Etete.

Oh well. 6 points is still 6 points?

I thought that the first half performance reflected our form prior to Swindon so that was very encouraging. They continued that form long enough to score a third. The last 25minutes was tense to put it mildly and was puzzled by some of the subs. Bez looked very ineffective and we appeared to lose control in midfield particularly after losing Sowerby. Perhaps it was the conditions which put us on the back foot? Overall we deserved the points but importantly we discovered our mojo again by reverting to 4 -2 -3 -1 plus our former style . Now for Carlisle which should attract mega away attendance; if Frosty(Switzerland) can make the effort to travel to Sixfields last Saturday, pretty sure some of our UK fans can make the effort this coming Saturday.

Fingers pointed at JB and Bez by the looks of it. What changes would you have liked to of seen out of interest?
