90+5′ FINAL WHISTLE: Game ends Tranmere 0, Morcambe 1. Not as bad a result as Tuesday, but losing is losing. I can start to feel the fans rumblings over Jackson intensifying. Jackson’s record so far this season isn’t good – W2 D3 L5 – he really needs to up the ante to keep his boss and more importantly the fans happy.
Full time here at Prenton Park.#TRFC #SWA
