Interesting that there's only one trialist in the squad.

Jim Bentley's lad on the bench for Tranmere.

Would guess that the trialist is the one from the first half on Saturday

Would assume that XI will be closely similar to the XI that starts against Ebbsfleet, with ideally another left back and maybe Gilmour in for Ball; and hopefully a couple of additions elsewhere. Interested to see how we get on.

It is. If it's Lewis Spence, that'd be his third game and I'd say a decent chance of him being offered something. If it's the lad from the first half at Chorley, it's good to see he's still here as I thought he had something, though it would also mean Spence has moved on.

Or I suppose it could be someone completely new, which means all of the trialists so far have moved on!

28’ Dale lead! Sinclair from the penalty spot 💪

He is brought down in the area after Dale win the ball high up the pitch. He steps up and finds the bottom corner with the spot kick.

The Tranmere defender was sent off for the challenge.#TRFC 0-1 #RAFC

75’ Goal Dale! Rodney adds a second 👊

Kelly does well to beat his man on the left and find Gilmour inside. He squares to Rodney to takes it past a defender before firing in at the near post 💪#TRFC 0-2 #RAFC

Winning breeds confidence, irrespective of the fixture. Two out of three wins will do them no harm at all. Better to win friendlies than lose them.

Must have been some challenge to get sent off. Usually the ref just tells the manager to replace the offender when it's a friendly/behind closed doors game.

Glad to see Dale are challenging well against perceived 'better opposition' and getting a win. It will do them a world of good.

Good to hear that Oscar Kelly is getting game time....

My all time favourite Dale player Mr Lyndon Symmonds

A win.
A clean sheet.
Key striker scored.
Everybody got minutes in the legs.

We’re back to being competitive in the upcoming season.

Anybody know if we passed it around at the back? It’s really important to know.

Sounds like the style of footie we have been longing to see........punish the opposition in THEIR half, and have a pop or two. Simples

Good to get a win.

Glad Rodney has scored. Would like to see him and Mitchell as a 2 this season and see what they can do with Sinclair and someone else supporting them from wide. Sounds like Kelly has been playing well but not sure we can put maximum faith in a 16 year old to be able to play a massive role all season, contributions from the bench and starting the odd game would be a great starting point for him.

I may be a bit premature in suggesting this, but I think Oscar Kelly could make us some money in the future.

I suspect the starting eleven is close to the eleven that may start on August 5th, I would start with Ball, in a more forward role, with possibly Hendo and Rodney up front, this would mean dropping Mitchell to the bench.

Aye. Lets sign a forward, but not play him to accommodate Ball in a more forward role. Idiot.

So why are you suggesting Ball be pushed up front?

What meant was in a more attacking midfield role, rather then a centre forward.

OK, but why?

What have you seen to suggest it might be a good idea?

Sinclair through on goal and chopped SL. Not that dirty, just following protocols I guess
