Les Parry was disappointed with his side's first half display as they conceded three goals before going on to lose 4-1 at home to Leeds United.

The Manager told Tranmere Player: "I think the first half was our poorest performance since we've taken over. It's not as if Leeds scored good goals - a free kick, a penalty, a third poor goal and then the fourth was a boot over the top.

"We had a pop at the lads at half time and I think we were unfortunate to lose the second half. But the first half was a poor performance. It was a comedy of errors.

"I had a word with the referee at half time as I felt the first four free kicks were debatable, the one they got the goal from especially so. But he gave them and we have to deal with them.

"We'll be ok on Saturday, we're not bad at dealing with set backs. The lads will be in on Thursday and we'll go into Saturday with hopes of getting something out of the game.

"Bristol Rovers are a decent side so we've got to go there and play better than today to get anything."
