Tranmere Rovers FC away to Swindle Town FC at the County Ground in League 2
The Rovers 🐶face the Robins at everyone's least favourite fixture in Sunny Wiltshire. T-shirt weather in November and need sunglasses too 😎. The boys from Birko are not in great form after the previous good run and have dropped to 10th and Swindle are doing well currently in 6th. Not sure why we are here. We haven't won here in our last 8 visits so it's everything crossed for a good result 🤞.
The Whites started with their usual 11 and without Lewis who is having a baby as it were. We started brightly and a fantastic pass from Merrie put Hawks ⚽ through and we were 1 up after 9 minutes. There were attacks at both ends and could have been goals either way but a fast attack and some stationary defending let in the equaliser on 30. It was still level when the boys went in for Micky to hand round the half time oranges.
Notable events in the second half were when Swindle thought they had taken the lead only for it to be disallowed for offside. HA HA. Wossy Doohan made a great save to keep the ball out of the top corner with 5 to go. And Turnbull forgot he isn't Jay Harris and got a straight red for a high kick in the dying seconds. His timing for the challenge could have been better. If he had waited until GRIMsby in a couple of weeks, he could have got Christmas off 🎄.
Towards the end, the Swindon crowd were all using the lights on the phones. Is this is a backup plan in case the floodlights fail while there are winning. We wouldn't like to say. 🔦
POTM: Selected by Wendy is the machine that is Josh Cogley 🏆. Like a machine charging up and down the wing 🏃♂️💨.
No food or drink rating due to our squeaky arrival.
The stewards were ok and not at all like the death ninja stewards of our last couple of visits.
See you soon
Love Tranmerekat 🐾
