Thought the pitch helped to equalise things in the first half, with just the right amount of bobble to make ball control and fluent football a little more difficult. I thought Skip struggled in the first half but was excellent in the second especially given his age. Llorente showed there is a class player in there if used properly. As for Aurier being our best RB, that’s not saying a lot given his defensive positioning and bad judgement throughout the game...did compete physically though. I liked the pace of KWP on the left and it was a surprise to me to see Moura matched for pace by a rather large defender.
Overall, given the line-up, the pitch and a competitive first half performance by Tranmere it was a good result but nothing to get carried away about in relation to the next few fixtures.
