Hope you carry on with this mate, just read this from start to finish, took me about 1 and a half hours to read properly lol.

V.good story tho mate. Harsh sacking at Fulham especially when you had likes of Cristian Benitez banging goals in for you and a few very shrewd signings.

Tough start with Tranmere as to be expected, but done amazing to turn it around. Good luck in the Championship ;)

Season Kick-Off:
Tranmere_Rovers_FC.png

Wigan 1-1 Tranmere
View attachment 217318
A very good way to start the season. A valuable point against a good Wigan side. We did well to take the lead and played fairly well from there. A few mistakes in the back eventually led to a Wigan equaliser with 16minutes left. I'm very happy with the performance.


Brighton 1-1 Tranmere
View attachment 217319
A match we fairly dominated and should of won , but we weren't able to hold onto our half time led , which we got through a screamer from Zeca. A lapse in concentration in defence let Ronald Huth through to score a tap in and we didn't really pick it up after that.


Huddersfield 2-1 Tranmere
View attachment 217320
I was really looking forward to this game. All i wanted was a good performance and that's exactly what i got. Of course we lost , but i'm not really bothered about that , Huddersfield are a good side. We took the game by the throat in the first half , going in level thanks too Fraser McCarthy who has improved quite alot this season. Unfortunately we couldn't hold out for long and they took the lead early in the second half.


Tranmere 4-0 Middlesbrough
View attachment 217321
What a brilliant way to bounce back! Tremendous performance against a much bigger Middlesbrough side. We were scraping for possession at times , but once we got hold of it , we punished the oppoition! A hattrick for Thomas Reilly makes him the the cream of the crop. Fans were jubilant after this victory!


Hull 2-0 Tranmere
View attachment 217322
In truth it was a poor performance , we created quite a few chances but lacked composure in front of goal , something we worked hard at over the pre-season. Hull were too powerful too break down , althought their league position doesn't reflect on their performance , could mean the turn of form for them.


View attachment 217323
A fairly good start to the Championship 1 win , a fantastic one at that. 2 decent draws and 2 loses. I'm happy with this start and we're sitting comfortably away from the bottom 4 for now. No doubt the fans will be delighted with it!

Canada 3-0 Curacao
View attachment 217324
A fairly dominating game , we didn't really let them do much. They held the majority of the possession but failed to really challenge us. We created quite alot of chances and i felt we could have scored twice as many goals if we had Hoilett playing.


Paraguay 2-2 Canada
View attachment 217325
A fairly dissapointing result consider we were 2 up with less than 10 minutes to go. We played fairly well , clincal infront of goal and played good football , again Hoilett wasn't playing , he could of made a big difference in this fixture.


 
I've another month finished and will start writing the update tonight and hopefully upload it later tonight if possible.
 
September Update:
Tranmere_Rovers_FC.png



Tranmere 1-4 Barnsley
View attachment 217362
Not a great start to this month. We were a bit complacent and weren't concentrating in defence. We managed to create a good handful of chances but couldn't make them count , missing McCarthy in front of goal through injury.


Newcastle 1-0 Tranmere
View attachment 217363
We totally dominated this match against a really good Newcastle team. Only the one goal seperated us , quite a nice goal too beating two of my defenders and slamming a 20 yarder to the bottom corner. Again, we had our fair share of chances , but couldn't make them count.


Tranmere 2-0 Ipswich
View attachment 217364
A very good performance , overall i'm pleased with the way the team played. Kept possession well and most importantly looked dangerous in front of goal. McCarthy marks his return to the first team with a nice goal on the last minute of Normal time.


Tranmere 1-0 Watford
View attachment 217365
Another fantastic performance. We were really good on the ball , created so many chances and we're unlucky to have won this game by a bigger margin. Watford Keeper was sublime and if not for Osman Chavez' header from 6 Yards , he might of won Watford a point!


Swansea 0-1 Tranmere
View attachment 217367
A good result , but not the best of performances. I'm happy to get all three points , we left it very late. We defended fairly well and cleared anything that looked dangerous but we failed to use the possession we had. This result ends this months Domestic fixtures!

View attachment 217370
A fairly good month where we played some tough opposition and won 3 games that we would of been tipped too lose, i'm not too bothered about the Newcastle result. Barnsley , we were unlucky and didn't deserve to lose by that many goals. We're sitting in a nice position not too far off the play-offs , but lets not get ahead of ourselves ;)

Surinam 0-7 Canada
View attachment 217368
Seventh heaven for the boys in this fixture. Totally outclassed the opposition in their own homeground and adds to our good start to the WC Qualifiers. Hope to see more of this in the games to come!


Canada 1-1 Jamaica
View attachment 217369
Jamaica proved to be a tough opposition in this fixture. Strong at the back and very hard to break down. Junior Hoilett picked up and injury and didn't feature but will be back for the next international fixture i hope! He's been the focal point of the team this year!
 
October Update:
Tranmere_Rovers_FC.png

Tranmere 2-0 Southampton
View attachment 217552
A really good result against promotion favourites Southampton. It was a very even match and kind of cancelled each other out , that was until young McCarthy tapped one in just before half time and then against 25 minutes into the second half.


Sheff Utd 1-1 Tranmere
View attachment 217553
A match where we were unlucky not to win. an early red card made it a very difficult task for us , and if we had that extra man it could of meant all 3 points. We did well to take the lead and we piled the pressure on The Blades but they got us back with a nice counter-attack.


Bristol City 2-2 Tranmere
View attachment 217554
A really entertaining match. I was slightly annoyed at losing yet another 2 goal lead and eventually drawing the match , we get a bit complacent in the second half of matches like this. Still i'm happy as long as we play well and look competitive , and that we did.


QPR 1-0 Tranmere
View attachment 217555
A match where the possession was shared out evenly but QPR took advantage of what they had with a nice goal. Our attempts were futile and didn't really look to challenge The R's at all.Hopefully we can bounce back with a win in the next fixture

Curacao 1-3 Canada
View attachment 217557
A tremendous attacking performance. We looked really dangerous in the opposition's half and it was like a training session for us , we were clearly the dominating force. Curacao only managed to challenge our keeper once and that led to the goal. Hoilett makes his return to Internation duty we a goal and two assists!


Canada 4-0 Surinam
View attachment 217558
Another really good performance. We took our chances and took a big lead within half an hour and parked the bus after that , really thought we could of scored more but i can't fault the teams performances. Junior Hoilett and form again along with Luis Knox!

November Update:
Tranmere_Rovers_FC.png

Tranmere 2-0 Reading
View attachment 217620
A really good performance and the result to match it. We never did look like losing and Reading did little to challenge us. McCarthy adds to his goal tally with a lovely curling shot after beating two defenders.


Tranmere 4-1 Sheffield Wednesday
View attachment 217619
Another fantastic performance! We dominated the game and showed Sheffield Wednesday why we were favourites. Really happy with the way the team are playing at the minute , showing good form and seem to be enjoying themselves and are getting the results to match it!


Nottingham Forest 2-2 Tranmere
View attachment 217618
A tough game against a good Forest side. I'm really happy with the late equaliser and it sent the fans home in a buzzing mood! We showed the rest of the league that we aren't pushovers and can perform at this level!


Sunderland 1-0 Tranmere
View attachment 217617
A respectable result against a superior team and the performance wasn't too bad either. Not much too note here. We played well against Sunderland and showed glimpses of class but couldn't managed to upstage the Black Cats.


Tranmere 2-2 Norwich
View attachment 217622
Really really annoyed at the last minute goal which ensured Norwich a point. This is the first time we played our former parent club in a competitive game for quite a few years and was looking forward to a win. McCarthy and Watt linked up well on a few occasions and got the goals for us today.


Peterborough 4-1 Tranmere
View attachment 217616
Wow , just wow. The scoreline didn't reflect on our performance at all. Our defence looked a bit shakey and our goalkeeper had a woeful day but still i'm not happy with a heavy scoreline like that against a team we should be competing with.


View attachment 217615
A fairly mixed month. I'm delighted with the wins and a few good draws against superior opposition , but i'm really annoyed a the heavy loss to Peterborough.

Canada 0-0 South Korea
View attachment 217614
A really good game to watch , we really should of won with the amount of chances we had , but i'm not too concerned , it was only a friendly and i sent out a second string team with a few experienced players.


Jamaica 0-0 Canada
(I'll add the screenshot late)
Another good performance that deserved a win. We simply weren't good enough in front of goal. We played very well dominating the game and piling the pressure on Jamaica. Before the watch i would of been happy with a draw , but afterwards , we really should of won.

Canada is alot more fun than i thought it would be!

It's my home country. So i better see them doing a good for the World Cup. Your doing a good job with them until now though, keep it up.
 
December Update:
Tranmere_Rovers_FC.png

Tranmere 1-1 Burnley
View attachment 217770
A quality performance that deserved a win. We dominated the game and had majority of the chances but we couldn’t manage to break them down until 9 minutes from time when McCarthy netted in and that was only for a point. Still i’m pleased with the performance!

Cardiff 2-5 Tranmere
View attachment 217771
Really good attacking football here. Delighted with the scoreline. Cardiff will be wondering how they lost my that deficit. We managed to take most of our chances and Fraser McCarthys goal 10 seconds into the match is a new Championship record! Terrific 3 points.

Tranmere 0-1 Preston
View attachment 217772
Not a performance that i really needs to be talked about. Really poor finishing and we lacked a bit of composure. I decided to rest a few of our key players , but i didn’t expect to lose even with a few missing.

Tranmere 2-0 Wigan
View attachment 217773
A fantastic performance against a strong team! We were alot more clinical infront of goal today and i made sure i let McCarthy play in this fixture and won’t be in a rush to rest him again after his performance in this match! Another result that nobody expected!

Brighton 0-1 Tranmere
View attachment 217775
Brighton seem to be ourbogey team this year. We seem to struggle against them and today was no exception. We had to rely on a spot kick to win the game just before half time , and thanks to our number 1 Obi Bright it was enough to win the match.

View attachment 217777
A really good month in my opinion , 1 loss , 1 Draw and 3 wins so a total of 10 out of 15 points isn't bad at this stage in the season. We're not far away from the play-off spots, is it realistic or am i just getting a bit over-excited?​

January Update:
Tranmere_Rovers_FC.png


Peterborough 0- 2 Tranmere (FA Cup 3rd Round)
View attachment 217960
A fairly decent performance. It was an even match , the difference being we took our chances and Peterborough didn’t. I didn’t want to field a full strength team incase a few got injured. We can look forward to the next round against Aston Villa now. Debutant Oriol Fernández scored a screamer from 30yards , not a bad way to start his Career at Tranmere.


Middlesbrough 4-2 Tranmere
View attachment 217961
A really bad performance. Totally outclassed by Middlesbrough who were playing in front of 15000 fans, who will no doubt be happy with their performance. The only plus side was Thomas Reilly’s two goals , hes having a good season. Really hope we can bounce back up against Hull in the next fixture.

Tranmere 2-2 Hull
View attachment 217962
Alot better here against a strong Hull side. We played some very good attacking football , created plenty of chances for ourselves but we struggled to really challenge the keeper. We weren’t great in the back either. Hull caused a few problems for us so a draw is the justified result. Oriol Fernández on form with another 2 goals.


Aston Villa 4-0 Tranmere (FA Cup 4th Round)
View attachment 217963
Although a heavy scoreline , we played fairly well to say the least. The midfield caused a lot of problems for The Villains and were unluck not to have hit the net a few times. A red card didn’t help our cause either and really effected the outcome of the game.

Barnsley 2-2 Tranmere
View attachment 217964
Due to the midweek game at Villa Park i had no choice but to send out the second string team again. A good result , Barnsley are atough side and i’m glad to steal 2 points of them. We didn’t really deserve it to be fair , Barnsley played a lot better and caused us a lot of problems for us.

View attachment 217965

A poor month to say the least , the only win being in the FA Cup , 2 draws in the league isn’t disastrous but has effected our league position , Play-offs are again a good bit away from our reach. A thumping from Middlesbrough was really dissappoint but i’m not too bothered about the result at Villa Park.

Transfers:

I only signed one player in the Transfer window and that was a Loan from Tottenham on Explosive young Striker Oril Fernandez who is providing good cover for Fraser McCarthy who is injured at the minute. It was a fee-less transfer thanks to the affiliation with the club.
