Just over a month ago the feeling around Prenton Park was a lot different to how it is now. Tranmere Rovers had lost at home to a Bradford side that came to the Wirral and firmly played Micky Mellon’s team off the park.
The loss meant that Rovers had won just two of their opening eight games in League Two to start the season.
Former Rovers striker Andy Cook scored both goals in a game that finished 2-1 to Mark Hughes’ Bantams. In reality, the visitors could have scored four or five that day. Rovers had their back five exposed time and time again by Bradford, with the away side having 13 shots on goal against Tranmere that night.
