- View from the camp...
“I think Tranmere can be a dangerous team. We know very well the teams that get promoted from non-league are always strong and they know what winning looks like, they will be hard working, they will do the basics very well and we have got to be up for it.
We have got to overpower them, we have got to match everything they have got and play on top of that. I think we are ready for the game and I am looking for to it.”
