7 saves: Luke McGee was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 7 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

West Ham United tell Tranmere Rovers: Joshua Ajala is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

A bad afternoon for Tranmere Rovers against Fleetwood Town
1‑2 to Fleetwood Town, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Adam Edwards: “No excuses”
“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 1‑2, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.
