Belshaw No fault performance and some decent saves as well 8
Hoole No mistakes this week but ideally would be more penetrating when attacking more crosses needed. 7
Taylor a couple of mistakes and together with Connolly at fault for the goal. 6
Connolly one mistake cost us 6.5
T. Clarke didnt do much wrong but still seems short of pace. 6


Coutts dominating but sometimes too much doesn't offer the quality balls that Evans delivers. In particular at corners we have to do better, when we have Taylor, Connelly, Clarke and others waiting, we are crying out to get a decent cross in. Too many short corners mix it up! 7

H. Anderson not his game and was disappointing giving away too many silly fouls 6
E. Anderson saved us again, none stop trying but heavily marked 8 ( MOTM for the goal alone)
Finley neat but without offering enough goal threat 7
Nicholson we need him to do more now, would have liked to see Thomas given a run 6


Collins little goal threat offered and therefore again a disappointing performance,  came into the play much more when moved wide 6.5


Subs: Grant looked really good when coming on both in attack and solid defensively 7.5
L. Clarke nope not for me, slow  and offered little, one really poor shot when collins was free to be played in. I personally would prefer to see Lofty come on who puts himself about and chases hard. 6
Ref certainly not one for the home fans I think we did well with several decisions 7
Tranmere there for the taking but on balance they created more clear cut chances 6

From ifollow..

Belshaw 8 m o m again! Saved us a couple of times but not his fault sweetly struck finish beat him

Hoole 8 nothing beat him, and threatens the space ahead of him with his wing play, unfortunately it didn't work out this time.
Taylor 6 behind the play and partially at fault with the conceded goal.
Connolly 5 same as Taylor but also allowed a shot to get off first half by just looking at opponent without even trying to block.
T. Clarke 5 rightly subbed.

Coutts 7 caught once in possession in own half but ok game.

H. Anderson 7.5 worked hard again.
E. Anderson 7.5 quiet match aside a brilliant turn and finish.
Finley 5 poor set pieces.
Nicholson 4 Westbrook ish performance with gathering the ball in dangerous position, cut across the box, cut again, and lay the ball off to a less dangerous position. Done it multiple times. Rightly subbed. Off form atm.

Collins 6 worked hard but ineffective and tranny defence worked him out.

Subs: Grant 7.5 positive influence nice to see him back especially on left.
L. Clarke 4 first time shot of a convicted violent sexual offender.

Ref 7 allowed the fouls to flow.
Tranmere 6.5 steady physical 4th division outfit. I thought they defended well. When they reflect on the match and stats, even though they had more direct goalscoring opportunity than us, I think they'll be happier with the point than we are.

At least we didn't lose. Our two centre backs appeared to be off the pace and behind play, so much so that the couple of set pieces at end of match in dangerous places made me feel uncomfortable.

With all our trickery and possession, we didn't convert them into tangible chances to score and their Keeps had a relatively easy day....which is what we don't want....but credit to Tranmere whom put up a spirited defensive fight whom haven't lost at home since January - and that was to the leaders, FGR.

Decent result, but I feel disappointed we didn't win.

Results in and James Belshaw was Man of the Match with a score of 7.83.

This was Belshaw's 12th MotM in league games and he is the quickest player to that mark, after just 37 games (the previous best was Jonson Clarke-Harris in 42 games)

With 14 MotMs in 42 games in all competitions, Belshaw is now joint 5th on the list of most MotMs in these threads behind only Lockyer (25 MotMs in 230 games), Harrison (20 in 159), O. Clarke (15 in 211), Lines (15 in 161) and Gaffney (14 in 106)
