I notice that Breakspear issued another seven yellows plus a red at Colchester yesterday. How these incompetent officials don't get investigated and struck off is beyond me.

Bristol had more of the ball, but that was largely down to systems rather than their technical superiority. A 442 with wide men versus a 4231 (I think), so they were always going to control the centre of midfield. We were hardly 'gifted' chances. Hemmings and Nevitt are a real threat when the...

Yes, I thought they were pretty average to be honest. They dominated the ball but did not do a great deal with it. We had half a dozen first team regulars missing, but we created the better chances and should really have won. A draw was fair on the balance of play, but if Nevitt had scored his...

A game against Bristol Rovers at this time of year always brings to mind the match in April 1990, when both teams were going for automatic promotion from the division above. It was an evening game, but still a 13,000 sell out at the old Prenton Park with over 1,000 from Bristol. We took the lead...

We have sold over 1,000 for Bradford in ten days' time. I think that is excellent considering Bradford is not really a derby fixture, and our away form of six defeats and a draw in the last seven games.

If you look over his career stats, they are absolutely appalling. He dishes out yellows and reds like they are confetti. It was not even a dirty game in the first half. He completely wrecked the game today.

I thought we were the better side against Carlisle pretty much throughout. However, Breakspear clearly could not handle the idea of our ten men battling to a deserved victory, so decided to issue a second red which was even more inexplicable than the first. Absolutely disgusting refereeing...

Maynard has barely been fully fit all season, but when he did get a run of games just prior to Christmas he looked good. He is still a good finisher, but he has not been fit enough for long enough. Paul Glatzel is out for the season and our striking options are limited, which is why it is good...

Good news on the injury front for us, as Jay Spearing, Kieron Morris and Nicky Maynard are all available for the weekend after several weeks, or months, out.

Draw please Bob.

It looks like we have sold about 750-800 for Bradford away in three weeks. Whether we sell the full allocation of 2,000 will depend on the results of our upcoming home games, particularly Bristol Rovers. Given our reliance on our home form, those two fixtures will tell us a lot about how our...

We did. Colchester scored from their first shot on target......in the 95th minute. We are not ruthless enough away from home, so we have only got ourselves to blame. We controlled the game for long periods and played a lot of decent football, but did not make our superiority count. Shamal...

We had a run of five games without a win, but that coincided with injuries to key players and a schedule of two games per week for several weeks. In the last three matches we have looked like the side from a couple of months ago, and I would be surprised if we did not make the play offs. We...

I think we had more reason to feel hard done by in 2019-20 than any other team in this division to be honest. We have won two and drawn one of the last three, including games against Mansfield and Sutton, so our current form is not patchy. We have a relatively easy run in, with our most...

Yes, it is wrong. The match report on the Sutton website quotes 451. We sold our initial allocation of 370 and were sent additional terrace tickets, so the figure of 351 does not make any sense.

There were actually 451 Tranmere fans at Sutton today.

Our play off win against Boreham Wood was the best feeling I have ever had, and probably ever will have, as a Rovers fan. It beat reaching the second tier for the first time in fifty years, play offs for the Premier League, or reaching the League Cup final, and by some distance. You don't...

League One. Although we have been to as many major finals this century as Everton.

50 Harrogate fans at Prenton Park last night.

Lewis Warrington is a very gifted player, so we will see who wins the battle of the League Two Messis at Prenton Park in a few weeks. :)
