Darren Moore makes two changes for tonight's game, with Ramsey in for Sheaf and Cole replacing Taylor. Coppinger isn't even in the squad.
Dieng
Halliday
Wright
Anderson
John
Whiteman
Ramsey
Sadlier
Gomes
Cole
Ennis
Subs: Jones, James, Sheaf, Blair, Taylor, Watters, Okenabirhie
-
Copps rested perhaps.? Playing to the conditions.?

You can read the ITEN Match Preview here: https://www.intotheemptynet.com/post/iten-match-preview-tranmere-a-1 (https://www.intotheemptynet.com/post/iten-match-preview-tranmere-a-1).
We did discuss the possibility of Darren making a couple of changes but didn't envision Sheaf or Taylor dropping out! Tranmere have switched back to a 3-4-1-2 as we predicted but with a couple of different players in the central positions, including Luke McCullough coming into midfield for his first start since joining his new club permanently.
Not quite sure what to make of it tonight, but let's hope it's effective. Will be very interesting to see what Ramsey and Cole do with their opportunities.
-
Surprised that James not back in, in place of John.
-
Cole's looked decent when he's played so far. Ramsey will be very interesting. Could be a new Kane.
-
Copps has an ankle injury. Maybe that is why he has been a bit quiet recently, now we have more cover time to allow him to recover properly. Good luck to Cole and Ramsey tonight, not the best of pitches to make a debut on, but let's have a substantial win Rovers!
-
Can’t get my head around dropping James
-
Getting a bit annoyed by the preference of John at left back James is clearly better. Understand for a one off in a set piece heavy game, with the pitch today that’s hopefully the reason. Not that it helped v fleetwood
Just afraid we alienate our own contracted players in favour of loanees who we’ve no hope of signing. Would understand if John was better than James at left back but he’s not
-
Come on you Reds... :scarf:
-
As said on the other thread, thought he would put Ramsey in although no idea that Copps injured.
I would prefer James and my fear is perhaps he's thinking more about the opposition than us.
I hoped we would get back to the consistency we have from both full backs but, he knows best.
We need to get on top of these from the off.
-
James is on the bench so maybe he's being ease back in or it's a rotation against weaker teams
-
Eased back in from what??
We don’t want to be messing about with it at the back on this pitch that’s a certainty
-
Strange team selection if you ask me, but hopefully I’m proven wrong over the next couple of hours.
I too can’t get my head around John over James. James has been one of our best performers this season. It feels as if John is being accommodated when it’s not his best position.
Taylor’s one of our better players too so surprised to see him dropped, but maybe that’s just rotation with the volume of games.
-
Said in another thread, James on the bench is criminal and everybody but Moore can see it it seems.
Hopefully get a win tonight and back on track, these are the types of games we need to be winning. Would snap your hand off for a 1-0 smash and grab off a defenders arse to be honest.
-

James hasn’t been injured - he was man of the match against Southend and then benched for Fleetwood.
-
DM has said everyone will get their time in/out, due to the volume of games.
-
DM will have his reasons for the team selections. If folks are concerned about James not playing, then call the radio Sheffield phone in and eat ruen to ask DM..
-
Here we go again only played 5 mins given 3 fouls ( freekicks ) away already
-
Cole is up front rather than Ennis.
-
The pitch is very worn out, it looks very like the old Keepmoat
-
DM will have his reasons for the team selections. If folks are concerned about James not playing, then call the radio Sheffield phone in and eat ruen to ask DM..
Why shouldnt people be able to question any of Darren Moore’s decisions on this forum? Criticising his choices shouldn’t be taboo!
-
It's really is a strange team selection.
John at LB and Madger over Sheaf/Taylor. Just why?
-
Just a concern leaving Sheaf out means we might not be as fluid in midfield. Gomes needs a big game tonight.

Eh.?
Where did I say folks shouldn’t do that.?
I was only pointing out a way where fans might be able to get an answer from DM, rather that just swapping opinions on here...
-
I wonder if the pitch has played a part in Taylor not playing. He's best running with the ball. I suspect they'll be previous little of that this evening.

Makes sense to me..
-
Shall we all quit discussing matters on here and instead phone RS to ask for a personal debate with Darren Moore?
-
Radio commentary suggesting that Tranmere are slightly on top and getting the ball forward much more quickly than us.
-
If the stats say anything we are getting battered....
-

Again, missing he point.. we an debate on here until the cows come home, but if there is a way of reaching the manager, why not.?
It’s a simple point and not aimed any anyone in particular and not to stifle debate on here..
Mountains and molehills spring to mind..
-
…. also saying that we are not able to hold the ball up, up front and it is just coming back at us when we get it upfield.

I doubt very much that DM would engage in a conversation with a fan on RS.

57:43% to them...according to BBC
-
Is it just me but whenever Mickey Walker does the commentary, we have far too much rambling and not enough actual commentary. Knowing where the play is, is virtually impossible.

I would disagree with “battered”..

No, fans call the radio and raise an issue. The presenters ask DM post match or in the press conference.. DM responds or doesn’t.. not about a “conversation”

It is the RS presenters job to do the commentary.
Mickey is there to add comments on the match situations.

All their play is coming down our left..
it’s so obvious John isn’t a left back, it’s worrying

Can we have some match summary since that is the reason for the thread.
-
looks like we're getting a few more chances, the RFC text appears to be a bit better, more posts than previously unless I'm imagining it

Not ”getting pointless”, IDM, it already is pointless!
Now, how we doing?
-
Ramsey misses a sitter.
Three yards out.
-
Ramsey just missed a sitter. 3yds out goalie on the floor and puts it over.
-
Ooooooh.. good football that
-
Ramsey misses a sitter.
Three yards out.
Damn
-
Ramsey just missed a sitter. 3yds out goalie on the floor and puts it over.
Both social media feeds said we had two efforts blocked on the line?
-
Gomes put a good cross in Sadlier just wide we got a corner
Ramsey just had 2 chances 1st off the line 2 nd pushed over by keeper
-
It took a deflection and went out for a corner but it still should have been a goal.

I’d say they were both bad missed from Ramsey there - first chance was easy enough but shot straight at the defender with the goal gaping, then seemingly blazed the rebound over the bar (although the ref gave a corner). We’ve had a slow start but starting to look a bit more in the game now.
-
Pies was suggesting a personal debate.
Mine was very tongue in cheek, Hound, at IDM's petulant suggestion that we ring RS to put concerns to DM instead of debating on here. Stupid suggestion given that IDM is one of the more regular contributors on here.

Sads seems off the pace a bit to me..

Stats backing that up too nick.
Radio lads say that the second Ramsay shot deflected over off the keepers leg.

To be fair the ref wasn’t far away and I’ve only seen the one replay on ifollow so it may well have done, but a bit of composure and it should have been buried either way.
-
Cole heads straight at the keeper from a great run and cross by Halliday.
-
Agreed, Hound. Now let's get back to discussing the game.
-
Whiteman playing better than he has for a while
I think it hinders him having sheaf playing doing the same role
Everything is coming through him today
-
Agreed, Hound. Now let's get back to discussing the game.
I am doing mate, or haven't you noticed.
-
Cole’s just had a header six yards out straight at the keeper, either side and we’re one nil up.
-
Another header from 6 yards for Cole, bit harder and he was reaching but wasn’t able to get it close to the target. At least he’s finding the space!
-
A second headed attempt by Cole. Difficult for him to reach the cross and it just skimmed off his head. Lovely movement by Cole to find the space between their centre backs.

Cole looking the most likely to score for us just nw.

Ok I waited until half time to respond..
Look, I’m sorry if my original post didn’t come over as intended. Posters were (quite rightly) questioning and debating the team selection, but all I was suggesting is there is a realistic and credible means of directing questions on team selectors to the only person who has the answers..
Certainly wasn’t an “instead of” nor petulant.
-
Back to the point, seems like we are well in this game..
-
could anyone give us a half time wrap up
-
Hopefully all set up for a Fey winner off the bench.
-
Think they have been slightly better team 1st half but we easily had best chances,started off slow for 1st 15 mins then come into it more
-
thank you

Had a look at the bbc stats MM and they said 51-49 in favour of Tranmere.

Wright booked for a foul.

Great save by keeper from Sads shot.
We have got to put one of these chances away.
-
Sadler good chance saved, that's two openings since half time. Surely the goal is coming.

Get in!!! 1-0 Ramsey!!!
-
Yessssss!!!!!!!!!! Get in.
-
Get in 1-0, Ramsey.
set up by sads.
-
Goalllllllllllllllllllll Ramsey 0-1
-
We’re creating chances well but not doing enough with them. That Sadlier chance was a good height for the keeper, more or less straight at him.
Just need to keep knocking on the door and take one of these chances.
-
Ramsey!
-
New boy

Haha excellent timing! And a very good finish as well!
-
Get in, always love a debut goal.
-
Yay.!!
-
Fifth assist for Sadlier this season so far.
-
Deserved well done Ramsey hopefully we can kick on winning the game is most important but if we can improve the goal difference even better
-
Cameron John booked. Only just outside the box so nearly a pen.
-
Cameron John, yellow card foul right on the edge of the box. Get James on.
-
We need to sub John now, he is getting skinned by their right side players.
-
Yellow for Halliday now.
-
Took one for the team there.
-
3 yellows now treading on eggshells.
-
John getting whipped for pace by their winger, Wilson every time.
-
Some horrible cynical fouls creeping into our game. Wright, John and now Halliday all booked, Wright’s and Halliday’s both for tugging back their man after being beaten. If this was a team playing against us I’m sure we’d be saying how dirty they are.
-
Three of the back four now on a booking.
-
I really can’t see what John brings to the team at left back. He’s only a young lad so risks crushing his confidence for if we need him back at centre back as well.
-
Tranmere having a right go at us just now.
-
Cole having a good game, looks an intelligent player.
-
will we bring on an attacking player or put the barriers up
-
Seems we have lost the momentum of the restart, need another goal to knock the stuffing out of Tranmere, otherwise I can see them pegging us back.
-
will we bring on an attacking player or put the barriers up
Fejiri to come on I would think.
-

-
RAMSEY!!! 2-0
-
Ramsey again 2-0.
-
yes
-
I don't know why DM has dropped Sheaf? MMmmm! :chair:
-
I said the other day with all these new players we'll be getting too many goals! :lol:
-
The new Copps can score goals.
-
What a goal that was !
-
Get in.!!
-
Debut hattrick perchance?! :scarf: :scarf: :scarf:
-
Anderson's head saved a sure goal there. What a player.
-
Debut hattrick perchance?! :scarf: :scarf: :scarf:

-
Fejiri close to adding a third with a shot from the edge of the box.
-
We have had thirteen shots so far, seven of them on target.
Sheaf coming on now.
-
Has that moved Gomes out wide?

3-0 Fejiri

Gomes having a very good game tonight.

Bad mistake from their defender but good pressing.

Attacking options all over the pitch now....

Boom well done Darren Moore
-
All the right people are scoring tonight. Good.

Great team selection by Moore. Never questioned him for a minute.
-
It's almost like Darren knows what he's doing 😁
-
Blair on now for Ramsey.
-
The new boys are scoring get in
-
Just what we have been lacking ... a poacher.
-
Great to see that having more options is paying off.. and we have players to come in for rotation as well..
-
Moore out
-
Copps would be no good on a pitch like this, it would be like a dolphin swimming in custard.
-

We were saying that the new players would give DM options.
-
Better GD than 4 of the top 6 as well, that's worth a point...
-
Shock horror..... Dieng misses another cross...…..get rid now.
-
Cracking result, still prefer reece james in but a good win. Goals starting to come and competition for places.
-
onwards and upwards, things looking really good for us
-
Anderson with the long ball away defender goes to control instead of heading back to the keeper Ferjiri nips in and scores
-
Gomes has been decent.
-
what a turn around in the second half,
-
What a cross by Ennis for that second goal. Love a good header, really well taken. Big fan of all three goals for how they came about, the first two with good creativity and the third was pure tenacity from Fey to run on and take it off the defender before coolly finishing it off.
-
Patience is a virtue...... ;)
The people at the top end of drfc know what they are doing! Lol
-
A few games ago we had nothing on the bench, now, jeez. Chalk and cheese..
-
Final score. well done Rovers.
Roll on Saturday.
-
Damn didn't want it to end
-
Debut hattrick perchance?! :scarf: :scarf: :scarf:
I've Just seem his miss from earlier on. He will be kicking himself that hes not already taking home the match ball.
I know what you mean, atr, but if he had scored, then he would probably not have had this chance for his second goal!
-
Superb result, job done and on we go to two big home games that could put us in a really good position.
-
Gomes has been decent.
A bit better than decent I think.
