Now I understand Rovers played last night. Against a "Liverpool XI" so felt it appropriate to field the strongest possible team. But for those of us who couldn't make that game last night and had a billed first team friendly today vs Macclesfield, I for 1 was extremely disappointed to see a youth team plus JASON MCATEER line up against the Silkmen.
Call me naive but I expected at least a couple of first team names involved. Those who didn't feature last night: Allott, (although I now read he may have left already!) maybe those who were substituted last night and the subs, and the new goalie. All we got was a youth team with McAteer in midfield, Curran up front, and Logan making his debut.
It was a £10 I wish i had never spent. It was painful to watch as a strong and powerful Macclesfield just outfought the youth of Tranmere, who if I'm honest didn't really show any signs that any of them will push for the first team for the coming season.
Pick of the bunch on show were Logan, who did well on his debut but not helped by the rest of the team really but got forward well and looked good on the ball, and Curran who worked hard and hit the post and always was dangerous. From the youth, Collister did ok in goal and the number 6, a lad superbly named Max Power did ok too, but the others looked very poor.
I watched the LFC XI game on tv and liked the look of Fraughan when he came on, he was dreadful today. Gave the ball away countless times, ran aimlessly with the ball and missed a sitter in the second half that Harry Redknapp's gran would have scored. Macauley up front was awful, showing none of the good signs he showed us last season.
I came away from the game wishing I'd never gone and very disappointed with the performance. It's not that there wasn't the first teamers there although that was disappointing sure, but the players on show had a chance to say the future of the club looks good. It doesn't really on that showing. Sorry boys.
