The biggest game of the season for Tranmere, and a match that could determine our fate. Win this game and I think our winning streak may continue to the end of the season, giving us a real chance of the title. Lose, and our bid for automatic promotion is over. I certainly can't see Lincoln dropping points at home to a woefully out of form Chester side tomorrow night.
Although Aldershot are currently in great form, I think this is our most difficult game of the run-in. Although they have blown hot and cold at times this season, FGR have so much quality in their squad that we could play well tomorrow night and still lose. Christian Doige in particular is a huge danger. That said, we are in better form and will go into the game as favourites.
In terms of selection, I think we will be unchanged with Stockton chosen ahead of Cook on merit. Even a couple of weeks ago the idea of Cole keeping Cook out of the side would have seemed crazy, but I am sure Micky will keep faith with him tomorrow.
In their recent game against Lincoln, FGR struggled to deal with the physicality of the opposition, and I think we need players like McNulty and Harris to really get in their opponent's faces. There would be an argument for playing Cook against a pure footballing side, purely because of his physical presence.
Prediction: too close to call, but nothing other than victory will suffice. I think the crowd may sneak over 5,000 for this one, with less than 100 from Gloucestershire.
