League Two Rovers v Colchester

[Ian]

Let's see what tomorrow brings!

 

[bigmart]

The target for the season was to be champions according to MP at the start of the season. For me anything less than promotion will be a failure let's hope for a positive result tomorrow regardless of performance.

 

[Ian]

For me anything less than promotion will be a failure

Agreed.

 

[Keith Hill (Bolton)]

Being sixth or seventh in a league as poor as league two is, unless we blow it completely, that I can't understand how it's a success.
Scraping into the playoffs, and the dross served up lately, doesn't give me confidence regardless of what division we are in next season.
And if Mr Hill, is manager next season, not looking forward to watching his choice of players if the January window, is to go by.

And the investors had 500k extra for the Budget so they wont be to happy if we don't go up

That was last season AM, but yes, I am sure they were expecting promotion this season.

 

[aldoes mustache]

oh ok but either way it is not been too great has it not looking forward to tomorrow if I am honest with you got no confidence in Hill, and his shocking roll football

I think Tranmere supporters are turning into Private Frazer's Army! The season is not over until it is over. By 5 o'clock we will know if it it is a case of season-continued or not. As RLC states, it is still possible that Tranmere will manage to gain promotion. MP would then have a lot of thinking to do as to whether to keep Hill or replace him. It's been a strange season and I still am unsure whether the team would have improved with the 'twelfth man' present.

I guess we all have a different meaning for the word success but for me, success is when you win something or achieve something. If we are saying success is reaching a final or a certain round in a competition, I think we are clutching at straws. I actually think he had some nerve saying we have has massive successes this season. If this is massive success, god help us..

As Bob Dylan said Ian, There is no success like failure and failure is no success at all

Computer sorted so finally back on line, I said earlier in the season that we had a team that could beat anyone in the league but also lose to anyone. After the position we were in, no ifs or buts we should have gone up automatically, so to find ourselves in the position we are in, scrambling for a point off the last game of the season is a failure to me. We are playing a team near the foot of the league, that are safe from relegation and yet not one of us can predict that we will manage a draw at home against them. My heart tells me that we will get the result we need, then win the play offs, Pallios keeps Hill, who turns out to be a tactical genius and we fly up the leagues and win the premier and then the champions league, all in five years and people will come up to us and ask who we support, when we say Tranmere, they will say ahh a glory hunter. My brain tells me that even if we get the point we need, there is no way we will win the play off..

I hope the drainage is working, as it has not stopped raining for hours.
My garden is awash. Forecast is for more heavy rain.

It is possible that we will still be promoted, but here is a statistic to ponder. In the last thirteen games we have only won once by actually creating a goal from open play that was not an own goal (Barrow). A truly dreadful sequence of results.

Colchester have one of, if not the, worst away records in the division, with only one victory away from home all season, so there are absolutely no excuses if we don't get what we need today.

 

[Rockford's Love Child]

Update: Colchester do indeed have by far the worst away record in the division, with thirteen points from twenty two games.

 

[Rockford's Love Child]

The rain is due to ease off shortly, so I think the game will go ahead with no problems.

Come on Rovers. Whatever the difficulties of the last three months, we are four decent performances away from the place in League One which was so cruelly taken away from us one year ago.

1 away win all season.

We just need get on the front door go at them and be posative

 

[Sparky]

Call me negative but I’m not expecting anything other than a positive tippy tappy start but with no penetration or end product. Hope I’m wrong

I agree, Sparky.

 

[Rockford's Love Child]

I don't disagree, but just praying for something more positive.

 

[Rockford's Love Child]

Derby and Sheffield Wednesday both relegated from the Championship as it stands.

There will be some big hitters in League One next season, for whoever is lucky enough to get there....

 

[Ian]

I don't disagree, but just praying for something more positive.

Let's all think positive today and hopefully all that positivity will effect the players on the pitch. Don't come looking for me at HT though!
