Simply just not good enough...full stop
I'd say so yes. Micky was screaming at them to get forward but I don't know if there is a phycological issue where the players feel the need to drop back so deep they are inviting pressure on them. Always a risky tactic when you are only one goal ahead.Did we go too defensive and invite them on to us when we could have gone for a second goal?
We were still well on top in the ten to fifteen minutes after the goal. We did not sit back after scoring. However, in the last twenty minutes they made tactical changes, bringing on Proctor and Amoo in addition to Wilson. That forced us to defend.I'd say so yes.

Yes, but i thought we went too deep and got punished for it. It's happened many times before so it's not a one-off. We should have kept the ball better and showed some composure. All that work we did in the second half which I thought we were good value for most of it was wasted and we dropped two valuable points.However, in the last twenty minutes they made tactical changes, bringing on Proctor and Amoo in addition to Wilson.

You have to go deep and defend if the opposition put three strikers on and take risks to throw men forward. It has not happened many times before this season, because this is the first late equaliser we have conceded, and we have rarely conceded a winning position.Yes, but i thought we went too deep and got punished for it.

I was not clear. I did not mean this season, I meant over the years watching Tranmere. For me, it is a probem that has surfaced for many years watching Rovers. We will have to agree to disagree on this one as I thought they could have managed the game better in the final 15.It has not happened many times before this season
It is a completely different group of players this season, who have generally been very good at managing games, so I don't think previous seasons are relevant.I was not clear.

They are to me.I don't think previous seasons are relevant.
Yes, I was referring to the (relatively) poor recent run of results, not today's performance.I wouldn’t class that as poor form today as the performance was far from poor. Poor result (even that would be harsh) might be more apt, but as you say, not disastrous.
Most of us thought the same last season, it just feels like it againWe are in a period of poor form, but it won't last forever. As I said previously, in isolation a draw today is not a disastrous result.
Different manager and different squad of players, so last season is irrelevant. We may or may not be promoted, but it is the next thirteen games that matter, not the results from March and April 2021.Most of us thought the same last season, it just feels like it again
