Tranmere - Millwall 3-1 (2-1)

Prenton Park, 03.11.06
Att: 7 114

After the amazingly poor performance on Tuesday, Tranmere woke up again tonight. After the first 5-10 minutes which were a bit nervous from both teams, Tranmere really set the pace of the game with some brilliant moves. They had a goal ruled out for offside after about 15 minutes when Sherriff really should have had a dig himself, instead of passing the ball to Taylor, which was offside. But just three minutes later Taylor did get his first goal at PP, after he headed in Shuker's brilliant cross at the far post. Rovers continued to press foreward and was rewarded with their second for the night, after Shuker's corner landed at McCready's feet. He managed to get the ball over the goalline, as he also scored his first goal at PP. Millwall had a couple of halfchances, and they got the important goal straight before halftime as one of their strikers chipped the ball past an onrushing Ward. The second half was also very good, Millwall had probably most of the posession, but they never had a real goalchance. Both Davies and Goodison made that sure as they hade som great tackles to hinder them to come one on one with Wardy. Straight before the end, the three points were secured as Shuker took advantage of a mistake by Shaw. He ran towards their goalie and cooly slotted the ball past him, and into the back of the net, to the PP faithfuls delight!!!
A very good game! And I have to say that there were very many norwegians at this game! How cool! :)
MOM: Chris Shuker! Finally used his skills as he should use them!
