Hopefully there's still another twist to come. Although the way my nerves and heart have been the last few games I'm not sure I'll still be about to see it!
Really? I haven't been this confident about our future in a long time, regardless of which division we're playing in. There's not a chance that Mark Palios will have gambled on promotion and they'll be plans in place should we not get promoted this season or the next. With the strong end to...
The positive for me is that we've been the best form side in the league since Mellon came in. It took him a while to settle on a formation and starting 11 but we seem to have been constantly improving the last four months. Give him a full pre-season, a few extra signings and fully fit squad...
Such a frustrating night but after all the chances we missed the sucker punch almost seemed inevitable. Our record against the top teams this season is terrible and as soon as a bigger crowd turn up we seem to bottle it which doesn't bode well for our playoff hopes!
The reduction in goal difference potentially reduces it from two Lincoln slip ups to one.
We'll probably lose to FGR on Tuesday and it'll be irrelevant!
You say that but both us and Lincoln look likely to finish with higher points totals than Barnet and Bristol Rovers did the season they went up. Upsets in games between teams at the top and the bottom happen in every league in the world, you can't really pick one result as an example of how...
Someone peel me off the ceiling please!
Jesus Christ, why can't we ever make it easy for ourselves? About a minute before they pulled one back I was thinking it was the most comfortable we'd been in ages. Not good for the health all these last minute winners!
So was I until last night. I think we're all borderline schizophrenic at the moment, one day I'm certain we'll do it, the next I'm dreading getting battered by Aldershot in the playoff semi finals.
Think we were second. That defeat was part of the run that cost Brabin his job so was probably a blessing in disguise looking back.
The goal difference is worth a point on it's own so we need you to slip up twice. And that's providing we don't slip up ourselves, (which we most likely will...
Brabin averaged 1.82 points per game which left us in 5th place when he was sacked. Since Mellon came in we're averaging 2.17 points per game, 0.17 more than Lincoln have over the whole season. There's hundreds of pivotal results/injuries/decisions you could pinpoint which have cost us, but...
We're going to look back at the end of the season and regret not sacking Brabin sooner aren't we, especially if it's as tight at the top as it is now. I'm sure they'll be a few more twists in the last 7 games, hopefully they're in our favour.
In this world nothing is certain except death, taxes, Tranmere never getting promoted, Tranmere bottling it and Tranmere getting reffed out of it. It's a conspiracy!
Do you even have to ask? It'd obviously be everybody's favourite FA quarter finalists, FA trophy semi finalists and giant killers, Lincoln City! Any excuse to get the lovable rogue Matt Rhead back on the telly!
Our record against the top teams this season has been dreadful.

We've also got a long history of bottling big games so I'd say our chances in the playoffs was slim.
Shite. Basically sums up why we're in this league and why we'll probably be here for a long time. As soon as we get any kind of big game we bottle it. Last 20 minutes all tactics go out of the window and we've got 4 strikers within 5 metres of each and absolutely no width.
