Let’s play Nigel Adkins bingo. If your card has “wonder goal” and “well organised” you win.
I heard “wonder goal” so often I thought the video recording had got stuck!

The Venerable Archbishop pulls no punches, he tells it like it is, he's my type of guy and has my R.E.S.T.E.C.P. as Ali G would say.

Bigfathoss knows his footballers too.
It’s easy to jump on someone when they’re struggling, but who do you think performed well today?

It’s important to highlight this also, who was your player of the match today?

Dean Campbell with his fantastic goal was the difference between the two sides today, but I thought Kian Spence was immense. An incredible engine, and seems to be everywhere. For me, he’s our player of the season so far.
This... Nuffsaid

Campbell, Spence and Canavan were the top 3 for me but Canavan is virtually every week and lately Spence has been too.

Ask an AI to generate an League Two game and its output would probably look like today's match. An attritional game decided on a great goal. If not 0-0, I think it would have only been decided by a strike like that, a mistake, or a set piece. Proper win.

I’ve been surprised Telford hasn’t been starting more lately, and was again yesterday…..but Proctor actually did better second half, linked up play well. If he could stay fit for a few games in a row he would be an asset to the squad but so far it just hasn’t happened

Proctor did well first half, too. A handful for the central defenders. (Their number five was good.)

People actually saying proctor was excellent today FFS. The guy flicked a few balls on, didn’t win any headers,was out muscled by a full back half his size,and let’s be honest,was never in a central forward position,when the ball was played into the box.If he hadn’t contributed what he did today,he wouldn’t get in holkers first team. Anyway that aside, tough game and a good performance all round, defensively sound, thought obungo was excellent as was feely,considering how much game time they’ve had. Back to winning ways.

Come on Des Proctor has had no game time !, Feely first half got skinned a couple of times and some of his final balls/ crosses were woeful, but I expected this so come on you can`t have it both way`s !

How did the pitch play yesterday. More negative comments from Tranmere. Their manager wasn`t quite as bad as some, but one of their players was moaning incessantly.

Same here, especially after I thought Telford was getting into a bit of scoring form. Let’s hope he gets another chance to continue it soon.

The pitch is in a poor state but hardly surprising given the amount of rain we have had.

It’s awful. Someone is going to do their ACL or snap a ankle on it

Pitch is going to affect playing our way if the weather continues the way it does as the damage has been done. Really need to give the groundsmen time and some money in the summer to get it back to how it was.

Enjoyed it yesterday bar the last 5 mins or so. Thought mazeed played well first time I've seen him play properly. Disagree on Proctor playing well he is a carthorse I'm afraid finding that mobile big man to go alongside Whitfield (hopefully) and Telford will be a priority for next season. I do like acquiah he's still a little raw but worth continuing with.
