Charlie Whitaker was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 25. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Michael Dike due for a Tranmere Rovers medical
Everything agreed with Brighton, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Tranmere Rovers make their move for Karlan Grant
$970.0K on the table at West Bromwich Albion. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

An offer of $5.0K for Kane Hemmings
Tranmere Rovers have gone to Barrow AFC with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Graduation day at Tranmere Rovers
5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

No deal for Kane Hemmings at that price
Tranmere Rovers offered $5.0K; Barrow AFC said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Janoi Donacien falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Leandro Ávalos in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Tranmere Rovers this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Tranmere Rovers promote Edward Howard from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Edward Howard has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
