Tranmere- H- 2025 20:31 - Aug 2 with 442 views

First game and home match of the new season . U’s start with 4-4-2 with Goodwin and Williams new pairing leading the line.
Rovers pressed hard throughout first half and denied space . U’s fail to clear corner and unmarked player knocks ball across area to be shot home at the far post .
U’s to slow and ponderous and cannot break down uptill half time, but Wilcox had half chance volley from outside the box that if on target would had level the sides just before break.
Second half ball was knocked over defence more often has wide men failed to get into game .
All change on the hour with introduction of Read for Bishop being the key, while Lisbie replaced forward Williams .
U’s look more fluent from then on but still fail to work the visiting keeper .
Just before 90 Tucker feeds a ball to Lisbie in the area which first touch gives him a turn and rifles ball into top corner . A sublime finish his Dad would have be proud of.
Draw a fair result has failed to make an impression until 70th min .
Breaking teams down will be the key the earlier the better to open up the play, made hard work in doing so today .

Poll:

No half measure either 1 or 2 ?

A display which would have looked better away from home . Flanagan continued to go forward in possession in the first half but nobody made any runs for width or space which led it reoccurring to often from the back till half time.
Mix and match after the hour, but Lisbies enthusiasm and a diagonal ball from Read wide injected more life thereafter .
