Was it a bad head injury ? Do you think there is any chance he may return next weekend ?
How did Calum do ?

Okay, didnt really have a chance to prove himself
Tranmere Match Reports
Not sure what kind of injury it was. I thought it was head at first but he was stretchered off so... Calum looked ok, better than the other lumps we've had recently. I'm on sure Moore and Cox together is the answer but their determination sparked us today. Well done Scott for the team he picked today

Thought Moore was lacking skill towards the end today, but chased and chased.
Ide and cox were the two best players out there in my opionon
Tranmere Match Reports
He got an accidental kick to the right cheek and was out cold for a short while. Seemed fine watching the last fifteen from the corner. Took his goal really well and hope the first of many - the 'front' four looked good today and shame his departure disrupted it.

Fairplay to Frampton for playing the whole of the second half with a damaged shoulder. That shows spirit. Cox brings spirit and no little skill to the team, product will come I'm sure. Kuffour was great today, bit more confidence in front of goal and he'll start scoring again. All in all a much more confident performance today, Griffiths and Osbourne contributing to a much less shaky defence. Chris Moore chased everything down and won his fair share of headers but looks lost in a tight situation in front of goal. Poor old Charlie! scores a great goal and then gets stretchered off. Luck has certainly deserted BFC since September but I sense a change is on the way. I think we'll be mid-table again by February. There was urgency out there on the pitch today. People were watching out for each other, covering. And we scored a goal!

So glad I went! Great spirit (including Framps playing with one arm!) Tranmere were a solid side, good wingers and big units up front, so congratulations to the back four. Midfield a little lightweight, but commited, same up front really. Just need a big striker and a couple of strong midfielders and we'll be okay.
Brooker actually ran back 40 yards to make a tackle.
Odd day when you're delighted to be bottom of the league!
The Bees are back.

Much, much better.
Looked dangerous, particularly in the first half when, at times, we were almost playing with four up front. However, all our forwards are small and pacey, so WHY do we insist on lumping it into the air? More thru-balls are the answer - Moore is at his most dangerous when running onto passes.
We went off the boil in the last half hour but you couldn't fault anyones effort today.
It feels like a victory after the last half dozen games. Hopefully it will give everyone a lift and we can build on it.

Great performance from the Bees 
Even players like Brooker tracking back and putting himself about (by his standards) 
Frampton played well considering his injury, and I thought Cox and Kuffour were simply superb, as was Ide. Moore was great, although he dithered on the ball and found himself with his back to goal whenever he got the ball, but he played really well, as did the rest of the boys. Thought the second half was a bit of a stalemate, but we definetely should have gone in one up, nothing we could do about that corker of a freekick.
Play like that every week and we'll be out of the zone soon

Fantastic performance and my man of the match was Scott Fitzgerald. He recognised where our problems lie, with Mousinho in midfield previosuly being too exposed. Putting O'Connor in a holding and role pushing Mousinho further up the park was inspired, as was bringing in two hard working wingers.
Moore ran his socks off and Cox and Ide were all energy. The back four put the heads and feet in all the time and the only weak link was Masters who let in an appalling goal that probably stopped us getting three points.
If we continue with that effort and add a bit more quality in midfield and a goalkeeper with experience, 2007 will be tonnes better than 2006.

Much better in every department. Masters didn't have a hope in hell of saving that from my view.
The key was O'Connor in midfield. That gave us a proper base to build from. Ide and Kuffour out wide allowed us to develop dangerous attacks and Simon Cox was simply superb.
My next game is Orient. Let's hope we've moved up the table by then.

Tranmere Match Reports
Dissapointed we didn't win which shows now much better we were.
Cox was great...must try and get him permanently in January...Moore worked hard but still looks out of his depth a bit at this level, his off the ball running needs a lot of work
Defence looked much more solid....fair play to Framps for playing the whole second half with one fit arm. He had to rely mostly on positional play than strength and it worked. Someone need sto work with Masters on how to organise a wall at free kicks, cost us two points today...other than that he did fine.
Big plus was O'Connor in the middle, really worked well IMHO and gave us an engine to work with than the limp displays of recent times.
The goal was worth waiting for, neat play between Cox and Jo down the left saw a decent cross which Ide cleverly lobbed into the far corner in front of the Brook Rd...how long have weaited for that!!!

if it wasn't for the ref, we'd have won. early on, clear handball in the area- play on. blatant back pass- play on????? they take a free kick- no, retake it. and they score. good hit btw. well done bees, it was a match not a rout.
much much happier!

If that was Fitz's interview, then it wasn't too bad an interview.
Back four looked more solid than it has for a long time even with Framps doing his Napoleon impression in the second half, how on earth did we get away with that.
Moore, Ide, Cox and Kuffour all looked lively and the midfield looked far more solid with KO helping Mousinho.
Once Masters gets organising a wall sorted that will be a plus. From the Brook Road seats it looked like he took a step to the right and away from the side of the goal he should be guarding.
Funny how a point and going bottom can seem uplifting but if that point can built on....
Also funny how some people afterwards were saying a point was no good at all, after the last three home games I'll take it

Great Performance, battled and played well, felt sorry for Kuffour who worked his socks off yet got little support. Moore was usual - tried hard and had chances to score. Ide complimented him brilliantly - great header to finally score after 600 and something minutes.
Midfield looked strong, Mousinhio had a decent game, even Brooker made a tackle and Kev plays well too.
Defence were on form as well, not sure whose fault the free-kick was but they didn't have all that much to do otherwise. Tranmere never looked like winning the game.

The ball was well placed, but from 30 yards with the weight that was put on it, no way should he have let that go in. Poorly positioned and slow in getting across.
Tranmere Match Reports
From my view the wall looked pretty shambolic with Masters taking no responsibility for getting it right, looked like their bloke shot it straight into the corner without having to bend it round any players.
Most around me were predicting exactly where it went just before he kicked it...

O'conner in mid works well. He can see the play, communicate better and his game was far better than of late. Hat off to Cox, had a fine game. Couldn't help but feel irritated by Frampton carrying on with that injury. I winced evertime Shakur or whatever his name is ran at him and we were lucky that display of bravery didn't backfire. Ide looked to be having a fit as they stretcherd him off, with his head shaking. Couldn't see all that well so hope I saw it wrong. A head injury that results in random uncontrolable head spasms is never gonna be a good thing! He played well and his performance warrants a longer run in the side. Best of luck to the bloke.
Feel we should have won today which is nice when I think that before the game I was expecting a 0-32 scoreline.

For their goal Masters seemed to be standing behind his wall, if he was standing on the open side he would have saved the free kick. I was dissapointed when I saw it float in.
I expected Tranmere to go at us from the start with our confidence currently shot to pieces but it never happened, cant remember Masters having to do a great deal.
I thought O'connor had a blinding game in midfield, got back countless times to help the defence.
A reasonable performance against a team who are not the best on their travels and great to see us stop the rot.

I really enjoyd today and can't wait to get back for next game. Not a feeling I have had for a while.
Still lightweight in midfield with too many unforced errors and too much head tennis when all you want is someone to take it down and pass to feet. However, right now a point is fine and this can be worked on.
What amazed me was how average/poor Tranmere were. If they are an example of a top of the table side then we should have nothing to fear. In fact they remind me of us over the last couple of seasons. In many ways, if our confidence was higher at the moment, we could have taken that game towards the end.

I think we did about as well as we could today; but let's not go overboard. It was not a great performance - the standard of football generally was poor. I agree O'Connor in midfield ensures we are less of a push over, thought Cox played well in the first half. However, if we play like that between now and the end of the season and we'll go down.

The important thing about today is that if you walked in and didn't know anything about us, you would not have put us down as being bottom of the pile.
Whereas against Doncaster, Cheltenham and Crewe etc ... you would have.
We played very well today, I'm sure that Tranmere did not expect us to go all out attack and take the game to them. But we did and it worked.
We faded off in the second half slightly and started to resort back to long ball at times, but they're were some very good points to take home from that. For a change I'm actually going to have to think about my MOM nomination. The players looked like they cared again.
We now need to take that attidute to Port Vale and Carlisle, and we will be making some large strides towards survival.
It makes it interesting because we came to the conclusion in the past few weeks that the squad is no way good enough to stay up - but I think we have been proved wrong today, the trick though is to play like that every week, show that sort of desire and commitment and then we sohuldn't have a problem. Shame about Orient and Millwall winning - we are bottom of the league, but I am far happier today than I was last week.
BTW :I blame the free kick on the bloke next to me, who said - "this is going in Masters top left you watch ....."

Much better without being particularly pretty.
We took the midfield completely out of the eqaution today, hardly passed through it, just knocked it long, fought for scraps and tried to be first to every ball, it almost got us a win as Tranmere weren't really prepared to fight as we were.
Osborne had a good day at right back, bullied the 11 out of it and was well backed up by Ide, Brooker and Kuffour. O'Connor and Mousinho alternated to sit in front of the back four, stopped their midfield coming through and competed aerially.
Moore and Cox looked like making things happen, without ever looking like scoring themselves, and generally we were solid.
We still need a more creative spark somewhere and TBH Nelson and Owusu would improve us but we didn't look like being over-run for the first time in ages and that must be a positive.
My main fear is, still, where the goals will come from

Deserved 3 points even though we rarely looked like scoring.
I like Moore but he is not going to score too many goals but has spirit and a work ethic that others could learn from. Sadly he is not good enough for our side but not many others at GP are.
Tranmere were sh!te or at least made to look crap but Ronnie Moore's teams have one way of playing and when it doesn't work they are fecked.
Cox, Osbourne, Ide, KOC and Kuffour worked well and even Brooker gave us something today. Goals are looking hard to come by but this was a step in the right direction.

BTW, I cannot believe that the referee(!) didn't send off Stockdale. He seemed to want to give him warning after warning but imo the challenge two minutes after Moore was booked warranted a second yellow. Complete bottle job.

Although I gather afterwards the ref said he was taken off at just the right time cos one more challenge and he would have seen red...

As has already been stated - much, much better.
One of the most solid performances that I've seen this season and the forward play created a number of chances.
From the Paddock it was difficult to tell with their free kick but we certainly seem to have conceded a few goals from direct freekicks this season.
In the short term a point is good, in the long term, single points will not be good enough. Let's hope we can build on this next week.

Passion, pride, belief. The crowd had it and it transformed on to the players.
Don't get me wrong the players deserve credit for today and played superbly espeically in the first half but I think the crowd also were excellent in the first half. Fitz made some tough choices and they were all good descions. Sadly the goal went in at the worst possible time, the crowd and the players were all up for it and Tranmere were on the ropes, due to the goal, the atmosphere/attitude was subdued in the 2nd half due to it and this definatley cost us today.
O'Connor controlled alot of the game from Midfield and Osborne was excellent at right back, on three occassions saving the casual and poor Griffiths from cocking it up for us.
Not sure on the free kick due to the angle but I was annoyed at the time and felt he could do better. Will have to see it again tho.
Good to see players who were hungry for it today. I think Jo Kuffour ran a marathon today and if we stay up will deserve legend status for his effort all season.
When; O'Connor, Cox, Kuffour, Brooker and Ide linked up we looked excellent although Moore looked a little off it/low on confidence. Mousinho was the perfect foil to these players in breaking up the play also although he needs to work on that final ball.
As mentioned earlier Osborne was excellent and respect to Frampton for playing on. Heywood was fairly solid but made a couple of mistakes. Griffiths made two good interventions but was far too causal on three occassions and was lucky to be let off. He and Heywood simply cannot play together so he should be dropped.
In all honesty we deserved three points and if we hadn't come up against the excellent Goodison (I believe that his name dreadlocked centre back) we'd have spanked anyone today, but I doubt we'll come up against many better CB this season so lots of postives to take from today.

Bizarre. I thought Goodison was the worst centre-back we've seen at GP all season. And so did the people sitting next to me. Maybe it's all to do with the angle of viewing?

Probably had something to do with it as we would have been sitting at competly different angles, still a bit odd tho.
He always seemed to be in the right place at the right time to me. Used his pace well, the best example I can think of was when Moore seemed to have him beat all the way and he just charged down the angle got there first and Moore gave away a free kick near the dug outs 2nd half.

I'm Sorry- but I dont see why people rate moore- he is sh*te
A lot of running and gesturing does not make a good player
If Kuffour had the chances he had today we would have won
He is definatley another Darren Anon
Asides from that it was like a different team playing- well done for sticking kev in midfield

Midfield was tonnes better and I think Osbourne did very well today. It was nice to see some closing down and the players actually looked up for it.
Shame their goal was a blinder, I think that would have beaten many keepers and I thought it was really harsh given the players deserved to win. It's also really harsh that we now find ourselves bottom (although previous performances should have seen us there some time ago).
I hope the players realise that they actually did the business today irrespective of the fact we didnt win and we are now bottom. You've finally shown me we are capable of staying up lads.
More of the same please!

Tranmere's goal was an excellent strike and probably unstoppable... but Stannard had got to tell Masters about lining up a wall and his positioning for those types of free kick. He always seems to stay in the centre of the goal; if you watch a good keeper he will line up his wall to cover the near side and move himself towards the far, on the basis that it's harder to get the ball up-and-over on the near side. It's gambling on the wall doing its job and allowing the keeper to concentrate on one side. Standing in the middle does nothing.
Anyway, the first match for ages where all the players showed their fight. All of them played to their strengths and abilities, even when wounded, credit to Scott. Cox played in both midfield and attack, giving us an extra man most of the time. O'Connor was magnificent, winning most of the second balls, and just showed how much we need a real midfielder of that type. It has to be the first priority of the new manager, to give us a fighting chance.

just seen the free kick again, think Masters should have got it, looked like he was stuck in treacle trying to get across.
