Baka is terrible.

Too slow in our build up play, allow teams too much time to reset and regain shape. We're not Chelsea and don't have to players to break down teams.

Not ideal. Tragic game plan for them, but they got their point.

We really do have a problem up top now with only Baka available

Dam right, what did Robins ever see in him.

We still waste far too many chances. Bakayoko has bits and pieces that make it look like there's a striker in there, but we don't see it consistently enough and we can't afford that. With Biamou injured, Hiwula I'd guess not fully fit (?) and Godden out we've got a big problem up front.

We had loads of chances To win the game

We did have chances, blaming the ref is the easy option though, players are far too wasteful in front of goal.

Do people still think we can finish top 6?
The wheels are coming off McFazden needs shipping out jobello and kasta haven't worked out and Godden out for 4 months

You have to go at teams like this early even from the kick off we went backwards

Not good enough. If we can’t beat teams like that then we can wave the play offs goodbye. We simply have to improve our record against the likes of Accrington, Tranmere, Mk Dons etc. Biamou let us down and now we have to persevere with that donkey up front for the next 3 games. Pretty embarrassing from them clinging on for a point against 10 men, one of the dirtiest teams I’ve ever had the displeasure of watching. Just imagine if we had to watch that shambles week after week. Officials poor as usual, they get worse week after week.

In what sense were we clinging on? We looked the most likely to score they only threatened at set pieces

What a horrible, shitty little club they are. By far the worst performance by a set of officials this season and that’s saying something.

Only one side every trying to win that game but with the stop-start nonsense by that wanker of a referee and the gamesmanship of the majority of their team (even when we went down to 10) was utterly pathetic. Wait for ‘streetwise’ to be used by Linnell in the post match analysis. Thoroughly disappointing.

Time to recall Ponticelli?
That's if he's not injured.
Have not seen him on the Tranmere bench for the last 2 weeks.

Refs are poor, but seems to me we never have a 12th man

I thought we played alright and opened a team that came for a point up well, just the finish or final decision.

Loads of clowns on here don't understand how difficult it is to break a team down coming for a point.

It was never going to be easy, but I think a lot of the frustration is we don't take enough of the chances we do get once we have broken teams down. We've got to be more clinical once we've got in.
