The result of the JPT game at Tranmere was cruel, going out on penalties after conceeding an equaliser just 3 minutes from full time.
However the result and disapointment pales into comparision when looking at the terrible injury that has befallen Lewis Haldane. Jumping for a header he fell inoxuiously and suffered a double spiral leg fracture. A lengthy delay ensued and he left on a stretcher to a standing ovation from the home Tranmere fans, always a sign of a bad injury when home fans do that to a visiting player. Lewis has undegone one operation and will need another before he hits the recovery trail, my personal best wishes go out to Lewis who is a nice guy on & off the pitch and didnt deserve this bad luck having had a wretched season with injury last year.
The mounting injuries (Rigg, Loft, Haldane, Richards) has prompted Adams to delve into the transfer market and has signed what on paper could be a very astute signing....welcome to Andrew Little on loan from Glasgow Rangers, described as either a full back or striker he has SPL experience and has played for "norn 'iron" at international level. He should on paper make an impact on L2.
In light of our recent defensive woes id put him straight into the team, possibly as a right back given that we have looked suspect down the flanks thus far.
Wimbledon have had a tough start to season but will im confident improve during the season, this will be a stiff test for Vale and id be happy to see us return with a point and something to build on....its important we dont conceed early, if we do it could be another long afternoon like last week.
Prediction 1-1
