Joe Ironside breaks a bone — 74 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 74 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Nowhere to hide for Tranmere Rovers
0‑3 against Chesterfield, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Samuel James steps up from the Tranmere Rovers academy
