Rovers v Barrow. The fog will probably have cleared by Sunday. The suspensions of Davies and Finley roll over so they miss this game, none of our injured players save Walker are in contention and promising youngster Josh Williams loaned out to Southport. Barrow seem to be in poor form too but...

Rovers v Accrington, battle of the two most out of form sides in L2. We’ve beaten Accy at home in the League and EFL Cup this season. Though our home record against Stanley is decent, have to wonder if third time unlucky? Missing the suspended Davies and Finley, the former will be missed more...

The shorts didn’t just fall down by themselves though, there was help from the Donny player. Think most referees would have blown up for a foul there, maybe they play to different rules in the States?The referee was American. Not that it would have significantly affected the result, another...

Rovers beat a depleted Harrogate side 2-1. Great pull down and set-up for Omari Patrick from Connor Jennings for our winner. On the balance of play it was a fair result. While I agree from the footage that Port Vale looked to have scored and deliberate handball from the Bromley defender too...

1-1 h/t at Prenton ParkHarrogate took the lead due to mix up between keeper and defender the move started from a debatable free-kick, but the ref more than made up for it with refusing what looked like a blatant penalty to the visitors. Rovers level with deflected Dennis shot and have played a...

Very brief update from the online Q&A with the Palioi at TRFC The takeover is still on, seems to be an unspecified consortium. Completion most likely around the end of March. However the current owners optimistically hope that the potential buyers may make some funds available in January to...

It’s probably a good time to play us, unless the news from the online Q&A tonight brings some positive news about the takeover. We have a small squad of dubious quality and a manager in Nigel Adkins who appears to have lost the plot and the dressing room going from some of the post-match player...

I can’t disagree with what the Chesterfield fans have said about Rovers. It might have been interesting had Connor Jennings header in the opening minutes crept in, but that and a long range effort from Drysdale were just about the sum of our attacking play. Despite their injuries Chesterfield...

Hawkes out and Tom Davies not fit to return at the back. Rookie keeper on the bench. Unless the wind comes to Rovers aid, think a home win.

Dakers is a big lad up front and Paul Lewis is gangly. Not the tallest opponents we’ve had, but they can be a handful to deal with.

Even with all their injuries and suspensions, Chesterfield are likely to have a stronger pool of players to pick from than Rovers. Our small squad has been depleted further by injuries across the park, with Hendry in midfield and Norris up front being key absentees. It looks unlikely that Tom...

Home draw v Morecambe. Fairly even opening ten minutes, then Rovers committed defensive suicide. Shrimps on top for the rest of the half. Quick exchange of goals at the start of the second half saw Morecambe restore their lead. However the introduction of subs with pace in Patrick and Saunders...

Rovers v Shrimps, an opponent who are in decent form after a poor start and feature a trio of Rovers old boys, although only Ben Tollitt is a regular starter. The defeat to Wimbledon was characterised by poor finishing and switching off defensively at key moments, However, we did create more...

It's a good point. I know he was interested in the Republic of Ireland job, but there seemed little else reported of him even applying for club posts after he left Rovers.

Johnny King. Rovers best manager had us playing some great football as we escaped from a final game win to stay in the FL to ultimately ending up in what is now the Championship John Aldridge. Bought by Kingy when we sealed promotion into the old Division 1 and scored regularly. Then took over...

For the second time a Saturday home game cancelled because the opponent (last time Wimbledon this time Fleetwood) have international call-ups. Frustrating as it will be re-arranged for midweek, when I struggle to attend and the club loses money by it. Typically our sole international Swindon...

294 Exiles at Tranmere

Much needed win for Rovers v Newport. It could have all been very different if an early goal for Hudlin had been chalked off for offside, or Norman had seen a red rather than yellow card in the opening ten minutes after a wild challenge. Don't know if the first was correctly called offiside, but...

Home to Newport, our recent record against the Exiles at Prenton Park has been patchy at best. We started brightly against Oldham in the cup, only to lose our way and Adkins approach to how a game is going has been reactive rather than proactive. The way we've played recently, a draw would...
