I get that. Just hope Max is fit..just don't know what Robins will do with an eye on Sundays game. Pitch will be very heavy and will play a part.

Agree league is more important..but it's not about an eye about players getting enough rest to not pick up fatigue injuries sharing workload and keeping everyone chomping at the bit.

Last time (think it was 2014) we went the Prenton Park before and the Sportsman afterwards, well from half time really as we left early due to how bad it was.

On Max Biamou and Jodi Jones missing:

“Max was injured. He has hurt his ankle. He’s running but he didn’t feel like he could play.

Our record at Prenton Park isn’t very good, even lost there years ago in the FA cup when we were top division side and Tranmere third or fourth, time to change that and I think we will.

First two games I ever saw. Beat Chelsea 2-1 in the league. Next week held to a draw in the cup by Tranmere of division 3. A whole lifetime of being a Sky Blue fan summarised in my first two games!

Looking forward to the game today, especially following the Wycombe game.

The pitch will be a factor, but we played passing football on an awful Ricoh pitch last year. While only a handful of players were here then, it can be done. It would also be harsh to drop anyone after Wycombe so I think he’ll start with the same team.

However, we definitely need a plan B, and for me that’s Max up front in a two with potentially a proper 10 behind them. Hopefully MR will show more flexibility and adaptability today if needed.

I can’t make it today unfortunately, so it’s iFollow for me.

0-3, Godden (2), Walsh.

Assuming everyone is fully fit then I presume it will be the same team as last time out.

Would love to see another thumping dished out . No doubt they are there for the taking.

I wouldn't be surprised if we got some rotation today. Allen and O'Hare in for Shipley and Westbrooke maybe.

And what a nice feeling it is that I haven't a single ounce of dread in me if he does.

Think the team pitch inspection will decided how we set up. Lets hope we can play some nice football on it.

Hoping for another 4 goals.

Think using Allen and O'Hare for a good portion of the game will be useful - legs will be an issue, regardless of Tranmere having also played on 26th (when we didn't). Maybe start with the same team as Wycombe, but react early if any of our midfield look like they are struggling.

We were more direct against Wycombe and I would expect more of the same here. Don’t think he’ll opt for Max though

I'm expecting MR to make some changes purely due to fatigue.
Win this and I think we can start to cast an eye towards the autos.

You might be right. Still 2 away games in 4 days. Both on pitches that aren't the best.
Might also depend on how serious we're taking the cup game as he may use that as an opportunity to rest players

1968? We came from behind to beat Chelsea, Gerry Baker scored from an exquisite cross from the man pictured to the left. Coventry's slowest ever winger, Ernie Hannigan with the winner.
George Hudson playing for Tranmere.

The cash form a cup win plus the receipts for the potential next round will be important to the club - think Mason, O'Hare, Allen, Biamou will probably get a run out, though.

Travelled to today’s game without a ticket so stuck in the home end - will be interesting to hear what the Tranmere fans think about the way we play!
As far as the pitch is concerned I have to say - it’s awful.

On a positive note I’ve just had the best pie in the 45 years I’ve been going to watch the Sky Blues away from home - top draw!!!

Unchanged XI and bench, not surprised.

I'm going for a 2 nil win!
