Ellesmere Port had hardly any fans which was why they went bump. The trouble at their games, as I remember, was caused by Liverpool and Tranmere fans living locally. Don't forget Ports team comprised mostly of ex Tranmere players (and we signed a couple of them!)
Barry Ashworth, Joe Pritchard etc.
Also the legends Mickey Brooke and Gerry Casey of course . Ashworth initially joined us from Chester. After leaving us he had a season at Ellesmere before returning to ML.

I don't think Ollie is a bad keeper; but any other player would get respite. Dinanga, Osborne, Hulme, Linney if mistakes are made.

Time for Phil to perform a duty of care; bring in a 2nd GK and give Ollie the support he needs. Coming from Welsh Champions behind a top-quality defence,  he's being challenged for the first time in his adult career.

100% behind this sensible post.  My mind is cast back to Joe Corrigan in the early 1970s at City.  The boo boys were rewarded with the signing of Keith MacRae from Motherwell in 1973/74 who immediately took Joe's place in the first team.  MacRae cost City £100,000 which was a tidy sum at the time.

Suffice to say that Joe had been retained and developed behind the scenes and it was he, not MacRae, following his  return to the first team, who went on to become a City legend.
I agree with both these views . Bring in a keeper with big match experience for the now and allow Ollie to develop into the player we believe he can become but away from the heated spotlight he is under at the moment.

Since England's No 1 we've only had TT as a stand out keeper for any length of time . Tony had his critics but eventually turned opinion around eventually . We could certainly do with his like now . We have had a few decent mind , like Darcy , but on reflection only Stuart and Tony that i can recall have been outstanding and that's over almost a quarter of a century !
 Considering some of the greats who wore the shirt previous to that it's baffling why so few are worthy of mention.  Yes Tony and Stewart were both young at the outset here but the NL is a whole new ball game these days . The previousygreats i refer to all arrived at ML with a wealth of experience , mostly at a higher level and also in the 25 plus age bracket  I feel we need to be looking for someone of this nature who has what it takes to handle situations , pressure , as well as expectations . Oh for an Alex Stepney !
 p.s. congrats to Saughall for 6,000 up on posts 👏
