Rovers have picked a fairly strong side and look like reverting to 4 at the back. Oldham have rested a few but brought back Prenton Park favourite James Norwood, maybe good psychology from Micky Mellon.

When Rovers were in the NL, there were certain players McNulty being one, whose medical history meant it was too much of a risk to play them. Dislike them and they seem to give the home side an advantage. Fast forward to tomorrow afternoon and Micky Mellon’s Oldham featuring up to 6 ex Tranmere...

Saunders is a midget and neither Jennings nor Patrick are giants, we'd have been better opting for an obvious target man up front given that approach. Sadly have to agree with the rest. Agree that more often than not there would be a decision in favour of the defending side for our goal...

Having seen the Rovers line-up today, think Crewe can be fairly sure of a win.

The ones that I predicted for top 3 seem to have patchy form (Donny), imploded (Gills) and have improved their prospects with a managerial change (Milton Keynes). Port Vale looked pretty ordinary against Rovers but are now starting to click and have a squad capable of top 3. There are plenty of...

As the Crewe posters have already highlighted, Rovers have a dreadful record at Gresty Road, over 2 decades since our last win, while Omar Bogle has proved a tricky opponent in the past. Think just Khan and Drysdale out, so Adkins has plenty to choose from. That seems to be part of his...

It is unclear from Mark Palios' recent pronouncements, who the next owners will be (more than one group interested apparently, not just those in the media spotlight) or when any takeover will actually go through. Palios and Adkins are friends and the suspicion is that the extended contract...

Managed to catch up with the Grimsby action and from a Rovers perspective it wasn't quite as bad as expected, although we still lost. Thought first half was fairly even and maybe we edged it. Some thought the Morris effort had fully crossed the line, but the footage doesn't seem to support that...

Shuffling of the pack for Rovers, hard to say if 422 433 or something else.

That’s Davison exactly. The Wimbledon fans did warn us. In response to an earlier query, any Mariners fans travelling over, away fans are welcome in the Trust tent, have checked with the SLO to confirm.

Rovers v Grimsby, another midweek game I’ll be missing. After a weird starting formation at Bromley, including initially Omari Patrick at left wing-back, a combination of poor finishing from the hosts and good keeping by McGee saw us stay in the game long enough to then finish a couple of...

Much needed win for Rovers but it sounded like Bromley had the bulk of the play, missed some decent chances and McGee was at his best. Will see what Grimsby on Tuesday night bring... a few more cent results needed to feel we're turning the corner.

Another strange line-up from Adkins. Not confident, we’ll see.

Bromley away. Poor team selection and use of subs by Adkins in the Bradford home game was certainly a factor in our demise. The pre=match interview, bigging up the Ravens in more ways than one (team of giants) seems strange, while his positive spin on the performance against the Bantams jars...

Rovers v Micky Mellon's Oldham is an interesting one. With what's happened at Tranmere subsequent to his sacking, many feel that Micky was hard done to. He's found turning things around at Coldham harder than expected, but does seem to have them pushing in the right direction now A few Rovers...

Strange and rather defensive line-up from Rovers with no place in the squad for one of the midweek scorers Hawkes and Taylor only on the bench. Inclining towards a Bradford win now, though be delighted to be proved wrong.

Rovers v Bantams. Unlike others, our injury crisis seems to be easing and Adkins will have the strongest squad to pick from so far this season. A decent performance in the Motors Cup v Accrington, with both scorers Josh Hawkes and Sam Taylor catching the eye and I’d hope Sam does get a start...

I’m unsure that getting more points than our performances deserve is necessarily a bad thing. It could be a sign of having more luck than usual.

Can't comment about yesterday, but you looked pretty decent at Tranmere, a few players willing to run directly at our defence and cause panic. Main failing was poor finishing, about 3 or 4 decent chances didn;t even test our keeper.

Was out yesterday and didn't follow the game, so pleasantly surprised when I switched on to see the result. Only seen the brief highlights, but the impressions from the fans forums differ. Milton Keynes seemed to think the Tranmere goal was coming, whereas despite the point, there was still a...
