Tranmere Rovers away to Sutton United at the VBS Community Stadium in League 2
Rovers face the 'U's at a sunny Gander Green Lane for the first time outside the bin league. And on a grass pitch for the first time too.
Tranmere struggled in the first 45 and conceded after 15 minutes of header ping pong. Playing long balls playing right into the hands (heads) of Suttons 7ft tall defenders worked as well as it usually does. Doh 🤦
Foley came on at the break. Rovers started playing on the floor and laid siege to the Sutton goal. Josh (Chesney, the one and only) Hawkes scored the equaliser. We could have scored a few more but it finished with a point each. Big improvement on the last 3 away loses. Up the +ve point travelling whites.
Ref was the usual rubbish 🙈🙉🙊 but still better than the lino at our end who was completely gormless 🤡. Think he only had one working arm which changed at half time.
POTM: Could have gone to MacDonald (Calum, not the restaurant and its lukewarm food 🍔🍟☕🤨), O'Connor or Warrington. MacDonald it is for getting up and down and some great clearances.
Hot chocolate was a solid 8/10. Nice one.
My first time in Sutton so visited the world's oldest bicycle shop which opened in 1860.
Nice new stand they put us in to soak up the spring sunshine 🌞. Be nice when its finished and there is one big away stand.
Well that's it for another week. See you at Colchester. Bring a coat.
Love Tranmerekat 🐾
