New Tranmere boss Pete Wild starts with draw at former club Fleetwood

New Tranmere boss Pete Wild starts with draw at former club Fleetwood

Pete Wild started life as Tranmere boss with a goalless draw at former club Fleetwood.

The manager was sacked by the Lancashire club earlier this season but was installed as Rovers’ boss this week to help them avoid the drop to non-league football.

Ironically, Oldham fan Wild was in the away end at Prenton Park last weekend and is now in the dugout at Rovers.

Both sides had chances in a game devoid of real quality.

Ethan Ennis arguably should have done better when he missed the target at the back post for the hosts.

Ched Evans’ cross-turned-shot landed on the roof of Tranmere’s net on the half-hour mark.

The best chance of the game fell to Fleetwood’s Harrison Neal shortly before the break as Mario Marosi produced a brilliant reflex stop to send his effort out for a corner.

After the break, Stephen Negru saw his header tipped over the bar by home keeper Jay Lynch.

Elliot Bonds rattled the crossbar for Fleetwood with a venomous strike with 15 minutes left to almost win it.
