It was difficult
to gauge Rover's true potential last term as their league campaign played
second fiddle to fine runs in both the FA Cup and the Worthington Cup - where
they reached the final at Wembley.
The losses
of Alan Mahon (free transfer to Sporting Lisbon) and David Kelly (free to
Sheffield United) were hefty blows and a lot will depend upon the goals
of Stuart Barlow, although John Aldridge should guide his side to mid-table.
A 3-1 pre-season
win over Leicester, who they lost to in February's Wembley final, was a
major plus. City, who had not conceded a goal in four previous pre-season
outings, found themselves two goals down after 29 minutes. If Tranmere are
to make the same kind of impact on the league as they did in the cup last
season then they need a cutting edge in attack.

Clint Hill

Barlow, signed
from Wigan on a free transfer, is capable of scoring at any level but he
needs to find the net week-in week-out during the next nine months if Rovers
are to stand any chance of making the play-offs. The arrival of Wayne Gill,
Paul Rideout and Sean Flynn should help, but improving on last season's
13th could still be an uphill struggle.
