Apparently Jolley looked decent in our pre season fixtures at Stalybridge and Warrington. Suprised this lad was given a chance in our earlier EFL trophy games.
I’m not dissing Spearing, far from it. He’s the sort of player you want in your team when you take the lead and you know the opposition is going to throw the kitchen sink at you. Would like to see more of Chris Merrie in the middle of the park .
I was jinxed badly watching Rovers in the early 1980’s when I went to 35 games over an 18 month period without seeing us win at home or away.
Won’t be in Bristol myself, nor any other Rovers game this side of Christmas as I’m currently in the Far East, which I think is a blessing in disguise...
Bahamboula is making a nasty habit out of turning up against Tranmere. There was a prolonged spell in last nights game where no Tranmere player could get near him. Best player on field in the the last 3 games against Oldham.
Looked game over when Oldham went 2 goals to the good. Credit to the Tranmere lads for fighting their way back into it. Largely a scrappy affair with some good passages of play. Bahamboula best player on the pitch again.
Both teams through I think.
Tranmere who have already qualified for the next round host Oldham tonight, who have to win by 3 clear goals to finish top of the group. A draw will see Oldham through.
Would imagine both teams will field as close to reserve teams as they can.
Not going myself, but may tune into Ifollow if it’s...
