Fantastic result especially after the dissapointment of Saturday. It now makes Saturday another massive game as we could get out of bottom 4 by beating Southend. Well done les and the lads!!!

Les had targeted six points from Oldham, Gillingham and Southend but after losing at home to Oldham I bet he would take four points from those games now!

What a terrific result. If results went our way, we could technically be twelfth if we win our next two!

Well done tonight from a disappointed Gills fan, was a massive game for both clubs and you showed more fight and determination than us when it counted and probably deserved the win. Good luck for the rest of the season!

It was bloomin freezing but well worth the trip. First half was fairly even but we seemed to want it more than Gillingham and this determination showed in the second half. Great result...it would be especially good to stay up as being based in the south east, it gives my son and I more chances to see the Rovers, than if we were in League 2!!!

From what I heard on Radio (although difficult to tell as I always say) it sounded like Edds had a huge impact on the game when he came on for Ash Taylor?
Nice to keep a clean sheet without Goodison for a change too!
Out of interest did anyone out there find this Live Text thing useful (e.g someone out of the BBC Radio Merseyside region and without Tranmere Player?)
