I'd imagine Rovers will try to stifle Notts County and in all probability fail miserably. Though sooner or later we'll get a streaky point on our travels, would be very surprised if it's this weekend. Defender Declan Drysdale and an unnamed attacker believed to be Sol Solomon out for the season.
I tried the Fishy calculator, both predicting Rovers results and the fully automatic version. The TRFC figures were quite similar, 38 pts (me) 39 points (calculator) Both versions had Carlisle bottom 31/27 and Morecambe 22nd 46/42 and Accrington just above them 47/48
Looking very likely that...
Won’t be watching Rovers game today, but missing captain Tom Davies one of our better central defenders and unsure how today’s selection will line up. Even less hopeful of taking something now.
148 Cods at Prenton Park on Tuesday.
The total crowd of 4621 is the lowest in a competitive league game in a number of years. Indicates the levels of disillusionment with the current regime and think the figure inflated by absent season ticket holders, it looked closer to about 3k actually in...
Lindley’s Crawley side engineered a win on Wirral last season with him making a big thing about the number of penalties Rovers were getting last season. There were a couple of strong shouts for penalties, one in particular which looked like a classic handball, but none given. The referee in that...
As a Tranmere fan I am worried about relegation, mainly as we’re not doing much to try getting out of the difficult position we’re in, same inept manager, only a few young loanees to try and change momentum. However don’t get your suggestion that we should be MORE worried than a Carlisle side...
I saw the Sang red footage and thought it was the wrong call, yet Vale didn’t try appealing it, any idea why not? I know Rovers used to get input from a local ref as to whether any appeal would be likely to succeed, maybe got similar input?
I agree with the consensus on here. Wimbledon penalty, though quite rare for them to be given for that level of holding, but never a red card.
Could have done with that ref in the Rovers game though. Adam Herczeg seemed to be better suited to a rugby game, with the amount of holding he...
0-0 at Rovers. We probably had the better of the second half while never really looking like scoring. Possible penalty not given would have to see it again.
Another bizarre line-up from Adkins. Suppose at least he can’t be accused of not trying something different. Looks like a lot of the SWA have had enough and staying away.
Chipmunx, I’m usually pessimistic, but if by some fluke we did beat Fleetwood then that would boost our chances of not going down. Your post seems to suggest that regardless of the result of Rovers v Fleetwood, we drop?
Of course we’re not going to beat the Cods anyway have lost all three...
Apparently we’ve lost all three competitive games we’ve played against Fleetwood. I can remember losing in the Tinpot Cup
last season when both sides in poor form but not the others. They’re the only side of the current 92 that I’ve not seen play live so something to cross off my bucket list on...
Mark Palios gave him a 3 year contract shortly after he’d taken a caretaker role when Dawes was sacked and he’d been DOF. It seemed odd at the time as we’d never given Mellon a proven manager at our club more than a two year rolling deal.
It turned out that the Palioi were looking to sell the...
Rovers at Salford. What a difference a year and a bit makes. Boxing Day 2023, we won 1-5 there. It wouldn't be a total surprise if that score line was reversed, but a home win looks near inevitable. I won't be going, when I last checked no surprise we hadn't sold all the tickets
This is the part of Mark Palios' club statement released today with regard to the manager. It has not gone down well but in a nutshell Adkins stays until the takeover. That seems to be moving backwards too. It feels like Rovers have secured one of the basket-case relegation slots with this...
While there are parallels between our two clubs in terms of the highlighted issues you raise, there is also the significant difference that currently Carlisle are much more substantially funded. Though that may change with any takeover, as things stand Carlisle have the resources to change...
