I felt we did ok considering we were playng a really strong Tranmere team, much stronger incidentaly than the one which lost to Southport last week. Defensively we looked a good solid unit (Lane especially) and Val and Sedge were combative in midfield. Robbie and Coo struggled out wide against very good full backs and there was absolutely no height or menace up front (Joe was poor). Even when Rod and Senior came on, we caused little threat. Pottsy, bless him, did his best and did make a little difference, at least giving their excellent number 3 something to think about.
At the end of the day, there is so little dividing teams in the lower tiers of English football. If Tranmere's big number 9 and number 3 had been Alty players, we'd be a pretty successful Conference team - it's just finding those players really. A final point. I was expecting to see all the trialists given a decent run out tonight and was disappointed to see Berkeley and Baguely used as token late subs with no Gaysham at all. Can Coo not be given an opportunity to play wide right? As Ballers said, much as we were last year. We still need those two key players.
