    What then Vaughan kicks Paudie, gets a yellow and in the second half has his customary moan at the ref, receives another yellow and is sent off!

    If the result today, win or lose, makes a significant difference to Sparks’ decision then he’s not approaching the task in the right way. It’s where the club will be at the end of this season and the end of the seasons after that that is important, the club has been bedevilled by short term thinking for too long.

    For all the praise of one or two individuals close to the club who seemingly want to maintain their privileged access, I don’t see a huge deal of change in the way things are being done.

    Sparks needs to be his own man and he needs to get his own people around him. If he just wants the same people that were around Rhodes then this is going to end badly or in the same ways. Failure!

    Rumour on Twitter last week was Rhodes is still around daily at VP. Don’t know how true that is though.

    Someone has had a tad too much Christmas spirit methinks.

    can see our mini revival coming to a shuddering halt today,
    Tranmere will have too much with Spearing bossing midfield, Vaughan up top, and old man Clarke at the back

    Yes for me it is. Cambridge are so out of form. 3 points from last 15. Only won one in last 5 away from home. And same amount of points as us from the last 10 games, just 11.
    Had a good start but have fallen apart. Poor side currently.

    Tranmere have won 6 out of last 7 at home in all comps. Ha da poor start but definitely come out of the other side of it now.
    10 wins in last 12 in all comps. Believe me this is our biggest test since McCall went

    I read they are in tier 2 so allowed 2,000 in the ground.

    If we get beat then it's a lot to do with the manor
    of it that will give us insight into how our improvement
    is going. Difficult one to call but,post Xmas celebrations
    could be a factor.We need to come out all guns blazing
    and get an early lead to let them know what we're about.

    I think big defeat today, possibly 3/4 conceded. Tranmere have a great spine in that team and prenton Park is a bit of a fortress.

    Could our new manager have deliberately delayed taking the job so he didn't start with a defeat? Strong possibility.

    Not really!

    Christmas is a busy period. Why would he want a quick turn around of games and less time to work with the team.

    I would be happy with a draw today. Last visit to Trammere good day out. A win today will be and I will be celebrating again.

    Poor team changes, will make it hard for us today, dropping Cooke and Pritchard a definite weakening of what we had,

    That’s a decent line up, just hope Donaldson stays upright for the whole match because it’s likely to be rough at times!!
