Depressingly this is now a 2nd vs 3rd clash as a mere draw with Tranmere leaves us looking up at Scunthorpe atop the league. Oldham tonked Gillingham 3-0 yesterday to keep the pressure on with their third consecutive win – and since they are only three points behind us, and with four more on their [...]

When I first heard Smoulderwood’s comments after the Tranmere game I was a bit nonplussed, it is very easy to read into what was said, or to pick out key phrases that nark you – an example of this would be Kinnear referring to a game against Derby as “just another game” – had we [...]

This fixture is quite tasty for all manner of reasons, obviously upfront for the almost-Scousers will be the familiar elbows of a certain Mr G.

Other than that, he wasn’t planning on giving anything away, which is both sensible and infuriating as [...]

With days before the transfer window opening, the most popular rumour to surface today is a bid for ex-Reds midfielder David Prutton from Southampton – £500k is the rumoured fee, and certainly I know a fair few fans who would be thrilled to welcome him back.
