Time once again to vote for your Player of the Month, this time for January which was a month of mixed emotions and fortunes for Ronnie Moore's men. Despite results, the performances were mostly good and there must be a number of contenders for the award this time around.
It's time once again to vote for your Player of the Month, this time for January which was a busy and mixed month for Ronnie Moore's men.
The month began with a trip to local rivals Crewe Alexandra on New Years Day for a game which saw seven goals and a sending off for Ian Goodison as Rovers lost 4-3.
The Jamaican defender's red card proved costly for Rovers as they went on to concede ten goals in four and a half matches in his absence before he returned for a run of four matches unbeaten and just one goal conceded.
Whether or not he is still a contender for Player of the Month is for you to decide but as a re-cap here are the Total Tranmere Man of the Match Awards for January games (Match Reporter in brackets).....
1st Jan - Crewe (A) Lost 4-3 = Paul McLaren (Mark Ridgway)
5th Jan - Hereford Utd (H) Drew 2-2 = Steve Jennings (Mark Ridgway)
8th Jan - Leyton Orient (A) Lost 3-0 = No MOTM Awarded.
11th Jan - Bristol Rovers (H) Lost 2-0 = No Match Report
16th Jan - Hereford Utd (A) Lost 1-0 = No Match Report
19th Jan - Millwall (A) Won 1-0 = Danny Coyne (Mark Ridgway)
26th Jan - Yeovil Town (H) Won 2-1 = Steve Jennings (Mark Ridgway)
29th Jan - Gillingham (H) Won 2-0 = Calvin Zola (Mark Ridgway)
In spite of the defeats at the start of the month Rovers played well in most of the games bar Bristol Rovers at home and there are a number of contenders for Player of the Month.
The ever excellent Paul McLaren and Steve Jennings have to be contenders from central midfield but Danny Coyne in goal and striker Calvin Zola must also be in with a chance along with new permanent signing Andy Taylor from Blackburn Rovers.
The poll can be found on the site at the bottom of every page you view so get voting now and we will bring you the results in two weeks.
The results of our most recent site poll in which we asked where you thought Rovers would finish the season were as follows......

Understandably the majority of votes were most likely cast in the spell just around the time when Rovers form turned in the month and is perhaps more on the negative side with almost 70% feeling that Rovers will not make the play-offs this season.
However as Rovers' form appears to be on the turn at the moment, we will run this poll again in March and see what the results are then.

He hasn't been fully consistent but he has weighed in with important goals and contributions that have been vital later on in January!
Well done Calvin!
