Tranmere Rovers form and stats

There's been little loot from Tranmere Rovers's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 6 away games in the League One. Tranmere Rovers only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 1 draw.

Tranmere Rovers delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Southend United (placed 23rd) in their previous match; a League One game. Preceding that game was the away victory against Coventry City with the score of 1-0.

A new game in only four days for Tranmere Rovers, the League One home match versus Doncaster Rovers. Busy days.

Tranmere Rovers are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 3 goals from 6 away games. The Tranmere Rovers manager M. Mellon has some worries about the defense as 12 goals have been conceded in these travels.
