Funk, they wanted and did start fast in the game, it was over after one minute and beyond redemption after twenty seven minutes, their midfield toyed with us and at times let us have the ball knowing we would F*** up. They controlled the full ninety minutes.

They have some quick wingers and attacking full backs.Once it’s delivered accurately and Smith is there I don’t think it matters who is at centre half.I might be wrong, but I'm sure Nixon hasn't been in the squad for the last 2 games. If that's the case, he must be injured.Not according to McCann he isn’tSo why has he been left out of the squad? He's been one of our most consistent performers this season.

I'm fairly confident of a win. We were much the better side earlier this season, the only difference was Matt Smith and with Wood playing he won't find it easy. In fact in a foot race I'd fancy Wood over Smith who can't run. I think in the previous game this season we put 40 odd balls in to their box compared to their 10 so if we improve our quality we should be ok.
It was an awful game, But maybe that’s what we need to create, going to places like that, they’re a very physical side and we matched them. Should’ve won

Should’ve wonWe didn’t have a shot in anger for 70 minutes. Draw probably fair overall. Got a reward for working hard, think the system has helped solidify us in the last two games. Two sitters in the middle of the park. Hate 4231 but it’s a handy system for struggling teams.
Due to other commitments I missed first half and beginning of second. Got it on from 55mins. Bottom end of L2 standard again. But in the 35-40mins I saw we scored, Adelakun shouldve had another, wood one ruled out, ironside missed a sitter of a header. Then they score a stunning free kick.Dont know what happened in first 55 but from what I saw we deserved a win there.A lot more promising than a month ago.Wood I really like, adds something to us throughout.The loan signings I rate, keeper, Craig, Adel, played well again.Salford were dirty bas**rds, anyone see the elbow on Craig by Tilt as they chased a ball to our dugout, was a straight red every day of the week and Tilt was already on a yellow. And their dive in their box that got Craig booked!!!I'm not his biggest fan but for the portion of the game I saw I thought Anderson was absolutely outstanding. Totally nullified Smith, had him in his pocket, played old school tricks, but job done without the plaudits. After the second half display on sat and what I saw tonight he deserves to carry on in team.Another point on the board away from home is good
Hats off to their announcer who said at half time:“For anyone who, like the Doncaster defence, is keen to get their hands on a Salford City shirt, they are available in the Club Shop”.

Nothing wrong with a bit of home bias as long as it’s done in the right spirit.At our last home game, our guy invited the crowd to “let’s make some noise for the Rovers!!”An invitation which of course the Tranmere fans accepted with gusto!On a serious note, the quality of the tannoy at Salford was brilliant. I know it’s a much smaller stadium than ours but you could hear every single word perfectly. It’s so frustrating at the Eco Power because I miss 90% of what is said. The recent interviews with Alan Brown, Chris Brown and Brian Flynn were totally inaudible in the West Stand.
