People tend to see what they want to see, those who believe Mellon was a problem and those that see another managerial change will solve nothing.
I don't there exists a fan who would change the back five and it stayed the same.
The diamond is nothing revolutionary the wide players had a fairly free role anyway. i would argue O'Connor is a far better guard than Merrie though.
Equally Dawes agrees with me Mumbungo offers something that does not exist otherwise, a presence up top. Again just being there made a difference.
The goal doesn't augur too well for Saunders, the keeper did not manage a challenge so he found himself with an open goal, which he appeared to need to dribble home than slot it. I think he thought he was offside.
Once the referee took over his Tommy Cooper act it was easy to miss the fact, Tranmere's offensive play disappeared altogether.
A poor game by two poor sides made worse by a clown, little to be taken from it. Apart from the fact the new pair of eyes is happy to leave recent signings out on loan, sign yet another midfield punt, not start the geordie wonderkid but at least brings Taylor back. i suspect there are quite a few destined for non-league still.
Mellon could have genuinely used the players who have a future but Dawes is playing for his job.
