Will Ferry and Tyler Frost come on for Jack Powell and Archie Davies.
A change in formation with 20 minutes to go.
A lovely turn by Jack Powell sets Crawley off on another attack. The ball is played into Appiah in space but he turns into danger and loses it. Into the final 25 minutes.
(58) Ross Doohan, in the Tranmere goal, comes out to collect the ball, under pressure from Nadesan, after yet another Davies cross.
(57) Jack Powell fires a shot just wide of the target.
It came after some good hold up play by Tom Nichols, who was found by a brilliant Nadesan knock-on.
Nichols could have perhaps played the ball back to Nadesan a bit earlier.
(55) Crawley continue to look dangerous from the wide areas but the final ball still isn’t there.
Another heavy cross from Archie Davies doesn’t find a man.
