    Tranmere vs Bucket Shakers

    I’ll admit that I am bitter. You’ve just won promotion at our ground, potentially at our expense, with a team of players that you literally can’t afford. You might say that the likes of Beckford haven’t featured, but you spent the significant amounts of money taking a punt on him, whereas most...

    Tranmere vs Bucket Shakers

    No idea why Mullen didn’t come on earlier, Norwood was so isolated second half we were crying out for a change. Ollie Banks is so hit and miss as well, it felt like every single pass he just aimlessly hit without even looking up. I assume Perkins isn’t fully fit but Gilmore should been given a...

    Tranmere vs Bucket Shakers

    Can’t believe Norwood missed that chance with about 20 minutes to go. Anywhere else and we go 2-1 up. Second half Danny Mayor was unplayable, if he’s under contract he’ll definitely be the first to go when the fire sale starts over the summer! Not sure my nerves can handle the playoffs again!

    League 2 General Chat Thread

    Seeing a team relegated to non-league brings back memories of that horrible feeling in the stomach from four seasons ago after we lost to Oxford United. Good luck for next season, a non league promotion push still beats a football league relegation battle!

    Tranmere vs Bucket Shakers

    Also if we win our last two games and Bury lose to Port Vale, we go above them. If we win 5-0 against Bury on Tuesday and beat Crawley, then a draw for Port Vale on the last day will see us promoted :whistle:

    Tranmere vs Bucket Shakers

    Everyone knows the natural reaction to any game being called off is to become a meteorologist, expert groundsman and call the opposition team tinpot, regardless of how bad the weather is.

    Tranmere vs Bucket Shakers

    Gutted but not really surprising. The weather here is awful, hammering it down with rain and 55mph winds. Not sure it’d have made for much of a spectacle if went ahead anyway.

    Tranmere vs Bucket Shakers

    Our fate for the season looks sealed but I'm hoping we win this more than a usual. Seeing Bury celebrate a promotion on our pitch (again) with a team of players they literally can't afford would be a massive kick in the teeth. Given the statement released yesterday, I can't see any way forward...

    Stickied League 2 Away Support Thread 2024/25

    The capacity of the Cowsheds seems to have dropped in recent years due to broken seats and it's not really economical to replace them. Off the top of my head, you and Spurs will be the only team who've sold out the away end in the past four seasons so spending the money replacing seats that are...

    Playoffs.

    Looks that way. Hopefully we’ve learnt from our mistakes. We need to put in a huge shift early on in the first fixture and make sure we don’t go behind so that FGR are forced to attack us. If we can do that, I think we win. Going into the second leg a goal behind would be the stuff of...

    The League 2 Promotion thread

    Be a travesty if Bury go up at the expense of a team who can afford to pay their own players/staff/debts. What happens if they do get promoted then go into liquidation after the season ends? A reprieve for one of the relegated teams in the league above and one less relegated from this league?

    The League 2 Promotion thread

    Well done on your promotion Lincoln, by far the best team this season. Just hope we can follow you up to League One. Be nice if you can get the title wrapped up on Friday so that you're already on the beach by Monday. Maybe give the youth team a run out? :whistle: Massive win for us today...

    Tranmere v Franchise

    We always seem to lose this type of game against a promotion rivals. Macc last year, Lincoln and FGR the one before. Going back further there was a game against MK Dons at Prenton Park when we were top of league one and they were second and we lost 1-0. Be nice get some revenge for that one but...

    The League 2 Promotion thread

    Although we’ve probably got the toughest run in on paper, there’s still a few positives to take from it. Our home form is better than away and the two most important games in MK and Bury are at home. Lincoln may have the title sewn up by the time we go to Sincil Bank so hopefully will take...

    Oldham v Tranmere

    Don’t think we deserved anything tonight. For all the possession (seemed more 54%) I don’t really remember the Oldham keeper having anything difficult to save. Our crossing was poor and the few good crosses no one got on the end of. We should have changed the game plan and played through the...

    Tranmere vs Carlisle

    Perkins was immense today. Don't think he gave the ball away once and some of the passes he was making were ridiculous. MOTM by a long way for me.

    Friday night Cheshire Derby fun TRFC vs CAFC

    Is the sexual assault of children really something to be used as a point scoring tactic? Pretty scrappy game last night which I though we shaded. Norwood missed enough chances for a hatrick but probably scored the toughest of the lot. Crewe almost grabbed a point in the end but for an...

    Tranmere vs Yeovil

    Crazy playing three centre halves and two defensive midfielders at home against a team third from bottom. Zero creativity from midfield meant that the strikers were feeding off scraps. We need Banks back ASAP!

    Checkatrade Trophy 2018/19 Thread

    I'm disappointed there was that many there to be honest, I was hoping for a sub 500. Thank fuck we're out of this utter joke of a competition!

    League 1 v league 2. Talking standards now.

    I've been shocked this season at how good the standard of football has been. Teams actually trying to play football instead of time wasting from the very first minute. I'd assume that says more about non league than League Two though.
