People saying we weren’t very good in the first half. Honestly I’d give credit to Tranmere. They did what most teams will do at PR now, set up for the point, go for a counter attack game, hope they can go a goal to the good and keep us shut out. Felt they crowded us very well, and dare I say were too cautious of Norwood marking which worked in Jackson’s favour. Said once Tranmere tire or we go a goal to the good it would open them up, wasn’t wrong there.
Nice to see teams coming here to match us and trying to stop us playing rather than us taking the cautious side, that’s the Ipswich I fell in love with under Burley in the 90s.
Also, KVY’s goal was Taricco-esque. Love it. |  |

Plus PL did not change the system by moving Skuse forward to midfield until about 15 minutes after I advised him to. |  | | |

I used telepathy but seemingly PL does not do telepathy, either that or it took a long time to reach him. | | | |

4G is awful around town on matchday so assume telepathy signals are also worse. | |

That explains it, maybe it will work better at Fleetwood. | | | |

Generally agree with that. It is the old adage that you have to fight for your right to play. Teams at PR will make themselves hard to break down, will sit deep, defend their point and see if they can catch us on the break/from a set piece.
Once we get ahead and in the second half as they tire, then we will get more chances.
We do need to start converting more of our chances though. |  | | |

I dunno.
Maybe you’re looking into it too much. We just weren’t very good in the first half.

We weren’t very good in the first half, no point in ignoring that.
The system we started with didn’t work and we were overrun in midfield. Once Lambert changed that we improved considerably. Tranmere put in plenty of effort but we made it easy for them in that first half. |  | | |

Indeed. I don't know why people get so uppity about people stating the obvious. We weren't quite as bad in the first half as we were v Wimbledon, but it was pretty poor stuff. |  |

We were comfortable in defence and it was the first time I’d seen Skuse play there at home, I enjoyed it. But the midfield suffered like you say. |  |

I heard a lot of this. But it they didn’t like the first half vs Tranmere they’d have hated the second halves against MK Dons and Gillingham. We also weren’t great in the first half vs AfcW and generally average vs DonnyRs.
FWIW, I thought the Tranmere performance was our most complete of the season. We were even in the first half and, but for a poor goal conceded, would have gone in 1 up and comfortable. Second half was a level above and we made our superiority count. But we had the larger share of possession in both halves, fairly level on shots etc.
We’re not going to roll over all teams, even in this division. And I fear that everyone is expecting a comfortable win vs Fleetwood next weekend, when it is going to be far tougher than that. |  |

KVY is definitely going to be better than Tarrico going by his early performances he has everything in his abilities. |  | | |

It was a poor first half showing Callis. Clearly Lambert was aware of it. Lining up with 3 at the back meant the midfield was overrun. Our ball retention and use in the first half was poor and that was not, solely, down to Tranmere being OK. We were not great at all.
Garbutts Free Kick was the highlight and then we gave a comical goal away starting with Chambers trying to bring the ball down out wide, mis-controlling it (under no pressure) and then a couple of mistakes later Tranmere score.
Wilson, who I like, is an out and out defender and is not at all suited to a back three when the ball needs to be used well. Pretty much everyones passing in the first half left a lot to be desired. Yes, at times Tranmere closed down well, but we were not under pressure all the time, so the passing was just poor, end of.
The second half, however, wether is was down to the early goal, change of formation or a rocket from Lambert was infinitely better. We got on the ball, used it far more effectively, created space and opportunities, took our chances (generally) and looked a cut about Tranmere from the off of the second half.
I really don't see what the problem is is merely stating the obvious. First half was poor, second half very good. Lambert wasn't afraid to change it tactically and the lads finally got themselves on it.
3rd gear and we win 4-1 - cracking result, 3 pts, 4 goals and a thoroughly enjoyable second half. |  |

That's just little lies and dreams. Donald Tusk would never allow it. [Post edited 30 Sep 2019 9:42]
