If you can't make Tranmere's game away at Charlton Athletic on Saturday afternoon, why not join in the banter right here with other Rovers fans who are unable to attend......

Article Header - Match Discussion

For those fans who can't make some of the Rovers games this season, particularly the more costly and time consuming southern away games, we at Total Tranmere will be providing a Match Discussion Thread on the Site for every Rovers game.

The thread will allow you to discuss everything from the pre-match build up and starting line-up to the game it as it progresses and the post-match analysis.

Stadium - Charlton Athletic

Where possible, Total Tranmere staff will post up the starting line-up and substitutes on the thread as soon as it is made known at the game as well as a half-time report on how the game is going for the benefit of those who are unable to make it.

Tranmere of course travel to Charlton Athletic on Saturday afternoon in NPower League One so if you're not going to the game why not join in the banter right here while the game is going on?

Maybe if you have a friend or family member texting you from the game you can post their views here for others to see as the game progresses. 

You could also use this thread to discuss other interesting scores throughout the league as well as discussing this game afterwards if you have been along to the game.

What you discuss below is up to you but hopefully it can all be focused on one thread to make it easier for everyone to use.

Admin staff will try and add the team and updates on the game on this thread where possible whilst there will also be our usual update service from our Twitter feed @totaltranmere so if you are not already following us it may be worth doing so!

Again ref turns the game with pen(those things we fail to get we must fall down wrong way) apart from that good result if we play against any team with the same effort that has not got Charlton`s quality in the future we should get one or two wins under the belt in all things being equal we are going to batter some one day.(Oldham would be good)

Great performance, but it deserved another 1 or 2 goals from Tranmere.

Again another penalty appears to rob Tranmere, just like it has with County, Carlisle and Preston. That's an average of 1 point every 3 league games.

Keep it up and referees will cost Tranmere around 15 points this season, because they have not redressed the balance once with a penalty for Tranmere and at this rate Les will be doing a Moyes and carping directly to the FA about getting zilch penalties (Sm7).

I think now perhaps Les neeeds to explore the option of a loan striker though, or perhaps replace Labadie with Welsh, slot Labadie in Baxter's place and put Baxter upfront.

Then I ate his Liver.......... with some baked beans and a can of coke.

I will make my own judgement when I've seen the penalty.Have all of you who have already made comments on the matter actually been to the match.

The referees will not cost us anything like as many points as the strikers[and others]who don't get their shots on target anything like as often as they should.

Yes Di Canio, went public and said he would tell his players to dive, because he didn't get a penalty he thought he should have in a recent match.

Frankly he should be warned by the FA for admitting to the potential promotion and use of unfair gamesmanship.

I wonder if he will ring Martin Allen and ask for tips on cheating?

Heard the bloke from Tranmere who guests along Radio Merseyside commentator.
He said a player of ours , knowing that there was someone behind, let his body go limp so he would fall on contact.
Is that what they do ?

I did go to the game and the penalty was at the other end from us so I have even less idea than most about it at this moment in time.

Overall it was a fantastic first half performance and a deserved half-time lead against a side who looked awful for an unbeaten top of the table side.

Second half though we allowed them into and although the penalty is apparently harsh, they had the momentum at the time it was given and I actually feared that if the penalty went in they would go on to win as all our momentum had gone well before their goal.

As it was the penalty sparked us back into life and we could just as easily have won it as them by the end.

Just one point is the bizarre substitutions today. Firstly bringing Zoum (who I like) on for our best player Baxter and then taking off Akins (who wasn't having a great game admittedly) for a defender in Kay.

I know at 1-1 he wanted to defend a draw but as I said we picked up after the equaliser and the timing was bad. The final sub of Tiryaki for Enoch in the 86th minute was 20 minutes too late.

Man of the Match was Baxter but special mention to Ash Taylor, Ian Goodison, Enoch Showunmi and in the first half especially Joss Labadie.

Once again the Charlton fans tried to referee the game and for the second year running it appears to have done the job!

A great day out and a great point though!

At Preston, we went for the game at 1-1 and lost. He brought on Kay to give us better defensive cover.

It's impossible to formulate an opinion from what they showed on the Football League show and even more mysterious was that they didn't ask or include either managers' opinion on the incident.

Which word of 'Say it as you see it' has more than one syllable? (Sm105)
The other bit is what YOU said at 1523hrs during the match [not my reply] which also shows that you weren't there.

Good point Hoots Mon. We played well today, obviously. However as I said at half time, we are a team of two halves and will have to defend well. You are absolutely right, we need to score goals. We can moan justifiably at the ref however goals would negate his actions. I actually believe that bad referee decisions balance out over a season, all teams get them.

Charlton looked pretty average because we kept breaking up their play and wouldn't let them build. We're progressing well. We've got shape and we're behaving like a team. All we need now is a bit of luck and time will do the rest. If we can avoid any major injuries that side should hit form round about Christmas. Just in time for the run in. An indication of how far we've come became clear to me when I found last seasons Tranmere calendar in drawer. Out of the 11 players on it only Goody and Ash Taylor still play for us.

I could not get to the game but the radio broadcast of the match suggested that we were quite prepared to take the game to Charlton. Our lack of strike power is more concernibg than the decisions of referees. There are some refs that are influenced by home supporters and a few that give 50/50 decisions to bigger clubs. I do not, however believe that the majority of refs are anti Rovers. If decisions are due to errors then over time these should balance out.
Yesterday was a good result especially with key players still out.
It should give encouragment for the Oldham game, which may define our season.A win following yesterday will be apointer that we are ateam that is beginning to take shape. More points dropped would in contrast suggest that it will bre a season of inconsistency.

We seem to play better away from home and perhaps it suits our style of play better. We seem to be a more balanced side when the opposition come at us more and leave the spaces that we are able to utilise when we break.
I wonder what side will turn up against Oldham on Saturday? and will Robbo be fit for that match?

Looking at it on the BBC website this morning, it's still totally inconclusive-two Charlton players in a heap on the floor but no obvious movement from either/any of the Tranmere defenders next to them.

I followed the game on soccer saturday and Aidy Boothroyd seemed to give us a lot of praise, so happy the lads put in a good performance.

I think the point about us being better or more suited to playing away is a valid one. When the onus is on us to attack teams we struggle massively, and the fans get frustrtaed. This becomes worse when we don't have any cutting edge up front, particularly when Robbo is out.

If we had a real goal threat, and started to convert the chances we seem to be creating we look capable of finishing at least top half, maybe even higer. Unfortunately the struggle to score goals will cost us this season, as you cannot rely on the defence to constantly keep clean sheets.

it's not just Robbo, it's also Devaney. He's a pretty big player too. Even if he had been playing the past few games, I think another 2-3 points might have been bagged.

Since when does 10 shots off target, 8 on target for the away side, versus 2 on target and 4 off target for the home side mean that a lot of time wasting was going on. If only we had a Muir or aldridge we'd be near the top on those sort of stats.
