Tranmere Rovers (a) - Monday 8th May 2023 - 1230hrs KO

[Zen Master]

All these games are watchable if you want.

[Mysterious Curle]

I’ve read online Tranmere have up to 11 out injured and have been playing with their flip flops on since March!

Not sure how accurate this is but great news of true.

Surely they would rather Stockport and Bradford stay down.

We can't rely on anyone doing us a favour, we've just got to go all out for the win like we did at Barrow...

Difference being this time it's totally in our hands...

I’m pretty sure you’ll be able to turn up and get a ticket in the home end. Just don’t wear claret and practice your scouse accent a bit....

Get in line!

I imagine they'll probably make it all ticket, ie no pay on the day, to stop that happening, unfortunately.

[Ragdoll Cobbler]

Reckon this will be live on Sky for those that can't make it or didn't get a ticket...

I looked at the Sky planner for next Sunday (L1 final day) and it shows EFL live...

So I'm sure the schedule will show the same for next Monday too

Curly wig, and stick on moustache? 

[Worthless Recluse]

Well to start off, first step, select your back line and covering midfielders then introduce them to each other so they don’t look like a bunch of strangers come next week.

As part of this I’d suggest not playing our main (and possibly only) attacking threat, league 2 player of the season and all round goal machine at right back!!! I mean what was he thinking.

Got you.
By technical tuition, you mean square pegs in square holes and the right formation.
Perhaps a paintballing session might build bridges before the big day?

For all of us that can’t get tickets or can’t get there for whatever reason , is there anywhere showing this game publicly so we don’t sit there on our own in desperation or joy watching rubbish i player ?
These things are best shared and it would be good if a pub or Carr’s put it on . I’m not sure what the broadcasting rights are though .

[Fred_NTFC]

Is anyone planning to be in Liverpool or around Birkenhead early on Monday? I'm going on my own but need a couple of pints to settle the nerves so thinking of maybe going to the Spoons at Liverpool Lime Street then hopping on a bus. Or are there any alternatives nearer the ground does anybody know? Curse that stupid early kick-off!

[everbrite]

Thanks. Just done it.

Always the home end; have done it 2/3 times mostly last season! One certainly this season. Go for the family end if you don’t mind seated next to an 8yr. The screeching is hard to bear though!

 Just behave yourself😇😎

It’ll be on sky. They 💯 will be thinking of last year.

Wouldn’t shock me if they pulled in Barton and Hill as guests.

 They’ve restricted home tickets sales online to known customers, database. I’d planned on saying i was a ground hopper if I got outed!

I think it depends on Tranmere's approach to the game because if they are "up for it" we could be in for a tough game. They have a very good defensive record (and a poor offensive) and have kept clean sheets in half of their 22 home games.

As others have said when we need to win it makes no sense playing your leading scorer at right back in a back 4 so if that is the formation JB goes with Lintott needs to come in at right back so Hoskins can be moved into a more advanced role, obviously somebody would need to be sacrificed and it could be Hondermarck. Similarly if JB reverts to 3 centre backs, which has been successful, and leaves Hoskins at right wing back somebody would have to make way.

Sky Sports schedule listing 'Live E F L' at 11.30am!

[guest2995]

It wasn’t on Sky last season was it ?
Are you saying they will screen live action of the two or three defining games ?

Looks that way...only L2 games are kicking off at 12.30 on Monday, same for L1 games on the Sunday.

Last season all were Saturday 3pm kick offs so would have been blacked out...

Relegation places already confirmed so it's gonna be us as the main match & probably the Stockport & Bradford (if they win v Crewe) games via the red button I reckon
