Do we went 70 odd. Mins tranmere only had one goal then we go back to a single loan striker and wham bam we get beat how many times will we invite teams to attack us. Our defence isn't good enough to be under so much easy pressure if we play with one up front big mistake with sub only good thing was Craig who. Are on too late There was no way we were going to resist Tranmere pressure. Why do we sit back and think we can? |

Gutted! had to be that bastard cook to win it for them.
May as well played with 10 men rather than play Richards, felt sorry for Alabi doing the work of two men.

Is Richards inability to play better due to the lack of competition for places up front?
We gave the ball away far to cheaply, I'm not asking for anyone to be the reincarnation of Cyrille Regis, but surely that should be drummed into the players on the training field to hold the ball longer to allow tactics to be followed through?

To be fair we need to be proud of that performance on the whole.
Durrell hit the post and we had a perfectly good goal disallowed. Harris should have been sent off. We defended well on the whole. O'Brien and Dawson look good. Criticism of Lynch is totally unwarranted. Richards too put in a reasonable shift. Major showing signs of his best.
These are all young lads and the squad was badly unbalanced by injuries. The team never stopped going until the end and heads did not drop for one second. Get behind them because we have an awful lot to be proud of and huge potential.

chester fan who had a heart attack has sadly passed away Very sad RIP from a Wrexham fan If true that's desperately sad and I offer my heartfelt condolences to family and friends. I don't go in for the "puts things into perspective" thing - truth is that life goes on - as did a game of football. But at the same time my genuine thoughts are with those who's night tonight became about something far, far more important than a game of football. #sendingmylove |

I can't believe we've lost that.
Norwood and Cook always score against us and what do we do .... Hudson gives Norwood a free header and we stand off Cook and allow him to hit one into the top right hand corner.
I thought Richards couldn't get any worse than he was on Saturday, but he managed tonight. Great goal by Astles. 2-1 up with 10 to go and we blow it. I thought O,Brian and Dawson were lively.

From what i saw 2nd half and read on here we werent great tonight but Tranmere had to battle for 3 point's! Are you seriously telling me theyre one of the best this league has to offer? If they are one of the big team's...Jesus wept!!
Most shocking thing of the night - most dc'ers agreeing that Kane Richards just isnt up to it.Sorry but you may aswell just start with 10 men than play him.Only positive from him - he'd didnt spit his dummy out like a petulant t***.

Would just like to say a big well done to our H block lads who didnt react to serious provication by both tranmere players and their fans. If they would have reacted and started fighting we might well have been in for a fine. Thankfully it will just be those horrible scousers who will be up before the FA.

Tonight I will not comment on the Football as it has been overshadowed by the desperately sad loss of a fellow fan who was standing near to me on Harry Mac - I feel numb and it was awful to watch the attempts to save him and puts football into perspective - I'm lost for words - my sincere condolences to his family and friends - Fred

Quite surprised by just how negative people are on this thread. I was at the game and felt that clearly Tranmere were the better team but we fought well and we're always in the game. Shane on Dee106 was quite positive too. Tranmere dominated possession but they never cut us open or force Lynch into any serious work. I do feel like Macca should have let the shackles off a bit more but he will argue that by keeping a rigid shape and playing on the counter got us to 80 mins and 2-1 up. The difference in the end was their firepower off the bench, we can't compete with that. The negatives for me was that Kane once again didn't show enough quality and that we invited them on too much. The positives....we were always in the game, the lads gave it their all, our youth team product superbly captaining the team in such a big game, Dawson looking a decent prospect, a good atmosphere and buzz around the ground. It hurts right now, but I don't think we were anywhere near as bad as what people are suggesting we were

Battled hard but not good enough in the end, we needed to be at full strength to give it our best there really. The penalty was fortunate let’s not forget.
Painful to watch Joyce looking so far out of his depth out there tonight, nothing against him as he does work hard but Tranmere were playing around him like he wasn’t there. Felt a bit sorry for Lynch, Tranmere gave him the rough stuff and shoved him in to his own net time after time.
Good efforts from Hughes and Alabi in particular, Astles did quite well as well and Horwood got forward well again.
R.I.P to the supporter who has sadly lost his life tonight, devastating news.

I think some of the comments a bit harsh. We can't compete with Tranmere financially but we did compete on the field and that is credit to the team. Look at the quality on Tranmere's bench, they would walk into our team but in fairness while Tranmere's quality was evident, there wasn't that much difference between the two teams tonight and a draw would have been a fair result.
On the plus side I thought Hughes was brilliant once again but everyone put in a shift apart from Richards who had another stinker. Both O'Brien and Dawson put in decent performances and it's a pity that Mahon was not brought on earlier.
The frustrating aspect is why do we play so deep and invite teams to attack us and why do we bring everyone back to defend corners.
