Returning to the question of relegation prospects, at this point, I find it very hard to call. There are a lot of poor sides down near the bottom, my own team Tranmere included. At the start of the season, I felt that we'd assembled a squad capable of a mid-table finish and Adkins had done a...

I actually think the NL play-off system is better than the FL one, attaching more benefit to the sides finishing further up the table.

If Carlisle are bringing all these additional players in, without moving others on, how do they manage to comply with the financial and squad size regulations? At Tranmere, we were told by the management that our budget was close to the limit such that we can only do one in one out deals, even...

Some Rovers fans were hoping we’d have done this. Coleman was at PP yesterday presumably scoring for the Gills visit at the end of the month. It will be interesting to see how it goes, Coleman’s spells with Rochdale and Southport were not the success that the two Accrington stints were.

1286 Carlisle at PP.

At the pre-Christmas forum we were told it was expected to be concluded by the first quarter of 2025. So too late for any financial input in the transfer window, unless the new owners wished to make funds available, which seems unlikely. I’m unsure what the prospective buyer attitude will be...

See my observation on the Carlisle thread, but irrespective of the performance in this or any other game Palios is not going to sack Adkins and the manager is not going to walk away. Hence fan frustration. Agree with you re the outcome. I don’t think it will matter which team you field today...

Rovers v Carlisle I imagine we’ll ditch the idea of playing young forward Solomon in midfield and probably start with Khan/Merrie in a 442. Adkins appears to have lost the dressing room and the plot. I hope because the visitors are a “possession based team” that Adkins doesn’t adopt the same...

I haven’t seen Carlisle play this season. On paper, even without the recent additions you’ve got a better squad than Rovers though both sides are missing important players through injury/illness. The Morecambe game we had 4 decent chances before they took the lead. No decent finisher at the...

Result as predicted. It sounded like we had a few decent chances in the first half, didn't take any and were fairly toothless in the second, as the Shrimps turned the screws. Unless both Adkins goes and we get some investment in the playing squad Rovers are going down.

The one change for Rovers is Tom Davies returning from suspension at the back. Zak Bradshaw seemed to struggle at left-back v Barrow but keeps his place and no left-back cover on the bench. Sol Solomon, a striker stuck in midfield again. The Shrimps first league win at home this season looks...

Jennings has actually been one of our better players when deployed correctly either in a front two or as a no 10. It doesn’t work well using him out wide or as today in a midfield role.

Not at the game either, but the commentary I was listening to gave a different impression. Rovers started the brighter but heads dropped after the Barrow deflected opener and even after the equaliser, Barrow were the more threatening going forward. Despite all the let-offs, Kristian Dennis had a...

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...
