This season, success was just staying up


I've not written much about Tranmere this season because: a) there's been very little worth writing about; and b) there's very few people who want to read about Tranmere anyway. However I ought to make a passsing mention to the dramatic relegation dogfight match last Saturday with the accursed Milton Keynes Football Franchise. Tranmere's winning goal (scored in the injury-time of injury-time) had the marvellous double-benefit of not only guaranteeing our survival in League 1 but also probably condemning Franchise FC to League 2. I'm not sure which of those two I feel more happy about to be honest....

But Saturday aside though, it's been an awful season. The quality of the top teams in League 1 was well below normal (how can teams like Southend and Colchester be promoted to the Championship?!!) and we should have been at least challenging them if not beating them week in, week out. We need a big clear-out of players and manager this summer to make a fresh start next season.

Good news about Tranmere staying up. Sad news about Milton Keynes. Why? Well the question is why they actually exist at all!
