The thread will allow you to discuss everything from the pre-match build up and starting line-up to the game it as it progresses and the post-match analysis.
Where possible, Total Tranmere staff will post up the starting line-up and substitutes on the thread as soon as it is made known at the game.

We've played better against some of the teams higher up the league this season and MK Dons away form is bad so I'm going to be positive. 2-1 win for Tranmere.

Jennings is just the next big thing. He's been involved in all of our best attacking moves, scored two and won the penalty

The main thing about today was I actually enjoyed it. Can't fault anybody, well players anyway, the referee was a joke.
As for Dale, WOW. I really hope he continues like that because he was simply awesome.

With Dale,ITM and Enoch up front we'll keep climbing up the league. All are goal scorers and Dale today was brilliant, the way he can just cut inside and make something happen and the pace he has is so exciting to watch. I wouldn't swap them 3 for any strikers in our league.

as ricci said the referee was a joke he was so poor it was unreal he was a joke.
That performance was not in keeping in what had gone on before this season we were attacking and full of ideas and a pleasure to watch.
There wasnt one player who didnt give his all and try his best but zoom made it easy for a poor referee to send him off.

What a fantastic game today, entertained for a change. I've got lots of points to make so lets begin.
Starters, thought the ref was a complete joke today. Firstly how is hitting a ball against someone from point blank range a penalty. Secondly, the refs sending off of bakayogo was unbelieveable, it was right in front of me and the ref didn't see it, he had his back to it so how can he give a yellow for it!! The ref lost the game when he gave the penalty, everything else that followed was a consequence of that one decision. Just hope he waqs being assessed because he should never referee again after that.
Now onto the more important stuff. Dale Jennings is amazing, everyone who was there today will have seen the potential this lad has. He was giving the defenders a couple of yards head start and still beating them hands down. His pace is frightening and if we can keep him fit, he will be very valuable to us this season and in the future.
The team as a whole, were fantastic today. There seems to be a team spirit developing, the same as we saw the end of last season when we were fighting against relegation. It was good to see Broomes back today, he won absolutely everything in the air and he had a really good game. Also thought Catalina looked solid too, first time i've seen him and was impressed. I don't think there was a bad player on the pitch today, Moore looked sharp, Welsh led the team well, Labadie was fantastic causing them all sorts of issues and showumni was quality again. It was just a great match.
Lastly, i thought MK Dons were shocking today. There is an attitude about them that i didn't like. They all believe they should be playing at a higher level than they are but you have to earn the right to be at that level and all they did was moan when things didn't go their way. Face facts lads, you were outclassed today and we were much better than you and all that you showed is that your arrogant. Don't think you'll be going up until you sort yourselves out.

Matty what i saw of mk today was a bunch of yard dogs trying to kick our players off the park. For me they were a joke and were matched by being a total joke of a referee.
I would add that Zoom made it easy foor a very bad referee to even things up with a challenge he didnt need to make although im not convinced it was a foul.
The worst thing about it is we are talking about a referee who ws awful when we should be talking about the game.

Bigmart your absolutely spot on. We were outstanding today, fully deserved the 3 points and made a supposed promotion tipped MK Dons side look ordinary. If we keep that up, we will be well away from the bottom of the league and even look at the playoff spots. Scary thing is, were only 6 points off!!!!

Zooms first yellow card was definitely not a yellow card!
Other than that..
Gulacsi - 8, he kept us in it with some fantastic saves, especially in the second half.
Cathalina - 7, first game and he did really well, defensively and going forward. I've seen him 2/3 times for the reserves and he's been poor (in fact, poor is generous, he was abysmal) but today he was solid, looks good. Only criticism I have is that he plays 5 yards behind the rest of the defence, luckily we were OK today but I hope someone has a word with him about it for future games.
Broomes - 8, think he won every header, superb again considering it was his first game back too!
Goodison - 7, not the best on the pitch today but still a very good performance.
Zoom - 7, very good at left back and 10 times better than Tuesday. Never deserved to be sent off.
Welsh - 8, genuinely thought he was superb today too, he was everywhere and when he isn't doing McLarens work as well as his own there is such a difference in his performance, really impressed with him and his work rate today.
Labadie - 7, few nice touches and some clever play, but still not as good as we know he can be.
Blanchard - 7, quieter game today but still did what was needed.
ITM - 7, makes such a difference too our team going forward.
Enoch - 7, same as ITM.
Dale Jennings - 9. That boy is superb. Most exciting prospect in a long time and was absolutely fantastic today.

just watched the goals ! allways called Dale a Terrorist ! watched him now for a couple or years, but the step up can be daunting to a young lad ! but he just loves what he does

Thinking about it, Cathalina was solid enough on his debut as a Sub at Bristol Rovers when we were defending our 1 0 lead too.

Well done Tranmere let's keep it up. We should have got Dale on at least a three year deal. It will not take long before a bigger club comes in for the lad. The more years he has the money.........................

this 
Xmas(January sales) all depends if he can keep it up once his name starts to be high lighted defenders
will target him and use methods to slow him down
so Les will have to look after him as he did yesterday with pulling him off.Re: Tranmere Rovers v MK Dons Match Discussion

We need to sell talent on but only having got a few years return and giving the player time to show by performance so that alarge fee is gained.Koumas was a case in poin. sell too soon and it helps the annual balance sheet but makes little long term impact.
I liked Jennings from his pre season performance against Liverpool but at the moment he is raw potential 12=16 months experience would change that
