As I said a week or two ago Tranmere are in free-fall to relegation.
I think some of the criticism of Jackson on here is getting ridiculous. He isn't perfect by any means, but it seems to me that for some people his mistakes are all highlighted and anything good he does is ignored. Earlier in the season he did look very poor, but I think his overall performance levels have improved quite a lot over the past few weeks, and moaning and groaning and slagging him off at every opportunity certainly ain't going to make him any better!saltcellar wrote: ↑Fri Apr 03, 2026 10:54 pmWe won't see much if at all, of Sam Foley in a Barrow shirt now he is caretaker manager.
He needs concentrating on that position now.

Losing Earing so early disrupted us yesterday. Mahoney moving over to our left meant Jackson partnering with Smith on our right and fair play to smith but he is not a wide right player imo and this affected Jacko. Shame really as jacko and Mahoney worked great together v BromleyBingley Blue wrote: ↑Sat Apr 04, 2026 8:44 amLatest scapegoat.olefogey wrote: ↑Sat Apr 04, 2026 12:22 am

He had a very good game against Bromley - less than a week ago.
Some great saves in the match but also an over ambitious throw out which nearly cost us. Not taking away from a solid performance all round. Every game is massive but we can do this!!SayitagainSam wrote: ↑Sat Apr 04, 2026 9:57 am Just watched the highlights.
Stanway was terrific and we came away with 1 point because of him.![]()
Hoping the Easter Bunny will one day bring us a Stadium like this one...
Happy Easter everyone!![]()
No. MKD highlights always look like nobody is there as they celebrate a goal to empty seats. Soul less. it’s a terrible look for them and would be for us too. Let’s have a 6000 seater and fill it - now that would really be something.SayitagainSam wrote: ↑Sat Apr 04, 2026 9:57 am Just watched the highlights.

7500 there on Friday, watching on tv it looked and sounded awful no atmosphere in a stadium way to big for the stature of MK DonsWintergreen wrote: ↑Sun Apr 05, 2026 5:01 amNo. MKD highlights always look like nobody is there as they celebrate a goal to empty seats.
